Great little hotel

Great hotel in a great location. The staff are friendly and provide excellent recommendations on what to do, see and eat. The location can't be beat just across from the train station, two block from federation square and the free tram and tour bus.

Very pleased overall - would recommend

I stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a long trip to Australia. Overall, I was very happy with it. The room was very clean, fairly quite and pretty comfortable. My main complaint about the room is that it could have used additional lighting. Staff was courteous and helpful. Location in the central business district is great. Convenient to many attractions and public transportation. Right across the street from the Flinders St. Station. I would stay again if I returned to Melbourne.

Some really great gelato on the 2nd floor (or what Australians would consider the 1st floor) of the Southgate mall across the river.

A beautiful old hotel in a great spot in Flinders St. Check out the bar exclusively for hotel guests on the first floor. Commerce room was adequate for our needs. Very comfy bed, drapes didn't let in any light so good for sleeping. Would use it again.

I found the staff extremely pleasant

I found the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was excellent along with a very pleasant bathroom. Our towels were renewed every day which I found excellent. We were upgraded and it was very quiet where we were in room 126. The location is very, very central, we walked just about everywhere, enjoying the cosmopolitan lifestyle of Melbourne. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay Rendezvous, 10/10.

I had a room on the second floor.

I had a room on the second floor. It was at the end of the corridor away from the lifts. The room was comfortable but there was a constant noise outside during the night. It sounded like the "hum" of an air conditioning system
