This is slightly shabby Hilton in a nice area of Melbourne. I stayedh er for a conference and the first night I had to ask for a new room because the king sized bed (two twins put together) was uneven. The two mattresses must've been different. Also, my bathroom had a funky smell that emanated that was most unpleasant.

The service at the front desk was top notch, though. Everyone I encountered on my 3 night stay was exceptionally polite, helpful, and professional.

The room service was also good - my food arrived quickly and was delicious.

I think this hotel suffers from a need for an upgrade. My TV, while being a flat screen, had terrible sound quality. The shower fixtures were loose and difficult to manipulate. The dark red carpets in the bedrooms seemed very 1980s.

I'm glad I wasn't paying for the rooms. But again, the service was phenomenal!

I booked this hotel as a WotIf Wot Hotel deal and I was over the moon to discover that we would be staying at the Hilton! I stayed here with my Mum as a trip for her birthday to see Eminem.

Upon arrival the lobby was truly breathtaking and the hotel staff were more than helpful. They were very busy attending to a group of Emirates crew and pilots but made sure that we weren't held up queueing. They took our luggage and promised to call as soon as our room was ready - they actually DID!

Our room was clean and tidy, but a bit dated including the TV and bathroom. This didn't bother us at all, the only thing that we cared about was that it was clean and tidy, which it was. I was expecting a little more flash since it was the Hilton though.

One of the best features was the heavy curtains. I thought that we'd be very awake facing the blazing lights of the MCG but we didn't see a single light or hear any street noise. Unfortunately we were too busy to use the hotel facilities.

The location was absolutely perfect! Since we only stayed for a few days we weren't going to hire a car. Jolimont station is fantastic to get to the CBD but we didn't use the trams even though they were right out the front too.

When I needed to online check in for our flights home the staff helped me out with using the business centre which is well equipped for business people with multiple computers.

This hotel is great for people who don't want to stay in the hustle and bustle of the CBD but still need easy access to everything without a car.

Stayed here a little while ago on a secret deal via last minute. Everything was grand on entry as you would expect. Headed up to our room which was nice but being the Hilton I expected a little large and more wow. It was like we were given the grey nomad pack. After returning later in the night I found that my room backed onto the lift shaft which noisy and struggled to get to sleep. Overall good just don't get a room where your bed backs onto the lift. Boy pillow as it was very soft and flat.

Stayed here during the Australian Open tennis finals and the location is excellent. Directly opposite the MCG and even closer to a railway station, this is ideal for sports fans. The hotel itself is showing its age a bit but is pretty well maintained and service is good. We stayed on the Executive Floor, which has identical rooms to the other floors, but provides access to the Lounge which is great. Service is the lounge is first class, breakfast was great, but the evening snacks were so so.
