“We'll send up a maintenance man ... again!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Our Christmas gift from our children with tix to A Chorus Line - a night at the Rendezvous Hotel, Melbourne. How wonderful! Until we check in! Can't access the room with the swipe card, no problems, go to reception to have the card rekeyed; the bloke on reception comes back up to the room, he also can't access the room. "I'll send up the maintenance man."

Once settled in room, notice the toilet keeps running ... tried several flushes, didn't fix the problem. Rang downstairs to reception ... "I'll send up the maintenance man." So we couldn't shower before going to dinner and our show, as we had the maintenance man in our bathroom.

A room change ... returned from the show (fantastic by the way, and highly recommend it), to turn on the lights in the "upgraded room" (more like a dog kennel in size), to hear banging and shaking coming from the light box in the ceiling.

Another call to reception - and her response? You guessed it ... "I'll send up the maintenance man"!!!!!!

No you won't, get my car and we'll go back home.

“Expensive for what you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

people found this review helpful

The hotel was arranged at short notice to accomodate a business trip during a busy tennis week. The price charged was steep , but given the lack of other options was understandable. In the tiny bathroom by anyones standards, be prepared to sit on the toilet with your knees protruding into the shower cubicle. The hotel was noisy and the rooms small, whilst the bed was uncomfortable. There were friendly saff at the front desk, but that was the limit of the positives.

“Great location some good and some bad points”

Have just returned from staying at this hotel.Very small room and bathroom-quiet as at rear of building.Reception staff were pleasant.I found a hair on my bathmat hanging on bath and another one on floor of bathroom.No shampoo was provided although it was nice to have robes and slippers.Breakfast was included with my Scoopon deal and this was very nice great selection of foods/juices and although it was a coffee machine coffee was excellent.I had 2 vouchers for drinks BUT the bar was CLOSED and did not want to use them to drink wine in the restaurant.It would have been nice to know in advance that the bar was closed in order to book and take advantage of drinks in a comfortable location.I was advised when I arrived early that I would be rung when my room was ready this did NOT happen so I turned up at 2:30pm.

“ideal location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Our stay at the Rendezvous was really enjoyable. We opted for the valet service which is highly recommended, particularly as your in a centrally located part of Melbourne and parking isn't easy to find. The rooms are good for the available space. If they were a little bit larger, I am sure they would be better. Aside from that, the service is polite. The bar is a bit dull, don't waste your time there as much nicer bars are close by. The hotel's features weren't compelling enough to keep you there but I've been to much worse places.

“Great central location but that's about it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Great central location but that's about it.
Nothing to write home about. Very small bathrooms, small rooms. Service is what you would expect, prompt and friendly. I'm not going to stay there again.

Room Tip: Pay a bit more and stay in another hotel.
