Be warned folks, this place is NOTHING at all like what is advertised. I wouldn't bother booking here unless you have no other option. I am not a hotel snob at all but I expect to get what is clearly advertised and I expect good service. The website shows only the best rooms - of which I am sure there... More

If the only thing your looking for is somewhere to lay your head and get a good nights sleep, then you will find that here. The bathroom was very scabby, broken tiles on the floor that could easy cut your feet if your not carefull, plus they are very slippy. You can get a good refreshing shower still. The location...

We (a couple) stayed here 1 night, Melb Grand Prix weekend & St Patty's day, so heaps on around the hotel. Like other reviews here my expectations were low & I was pleasantly surprised. Location is spot on for walking access to some good eateries & tram at end of the street, short trip into city. Was expecting a very... More

Always thought The Albany looked like a bit of a fun place, going by its website, but the reality is it's a pretty average motel with a faded image in a great lo0cation and reasonably cheap, especially as it's pretty much walking distance, through the beautiful Botanical Gardens to the Melbourne CBD.

We stayed at the Albany Hotel in March of last year for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Given the low price we paid for such a high demand weekend, I went in with low expectations...and wasn't disappointed as a result. The room was small but clean and the location to Albert Park was fantastic (under 15mins walk). Pretty decent walk... More

I frequently use Qantas "hotels" booking section On several occassions I have stayed at Bayview on the Park at Albert Lake Melbourne. The hotel is reported as 3.5 stars and reduced from a rack rate of $250 to a rate of $110 - which has been a terrific experience!! For a change this trip i thought i would book into... More

Great professional and friendly service, lovely young ladies. Had the Bloomfield Deluxe Room. The bed was comfy and the linen clean. Bright, pleasant outlook and facing quiet street but noise carries from other rooms and corridor. Room looks a little shabby. Windows, walls and ceiling need a clean and freshen up. Dining area in and outdoor is very pleasant with... More

I have stayed at the Albany Hotel many times and will continue doing so in the future. I have travelled extensively and have therefore stayed at hundreds of hotels around the world and in Australia. I have many reasons for staying at the Albany, including, : a fantastic location within Melbourne- South Yarra, fabulous 'real' staff, convenient restaurant, 24 hour... More

I will keep it short and try to be as objective as possible, since i know i personally usually skip the overly negative reviews Pros: 1- Location is in an area that is pretty good, close to botanical gardens and only a short tram ride away to the city on one side and st kilda beach on the opposite direction...
