“Average Nothing Special.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I booked this hotel on the 28th Jan and got a good rate of $200 a night including parking. Very hard to spot the hotel as there isnt really any signage and you have to enter from the side street.the building looks a bit old and worn on the outside.Arrived at 330 pm
Went to check in and was greeted by a very rude lady, not friendly at all. Not very welcoming. She asked for my credit card as an imprint, for security and said its needed incase i leave without paying or damage the room, funny thing to say to a guest, i said i wont be doing that and she giggled and said youd be suprised the number of people that say that and do. Found that a very rude thing to say. She also asked for a 100$ cash bond as i didnt want to use my card as i wanted to pay cash, i wasnt happy with that and i said just cancel the booking and she said you cant do that as you need 24 hrs notice, lol id only booked it 20 mins earlier. She said id have to pay for the room either way if i decided to stay or go, what a joke. Id had a long day and just wanted to relax so i paid $200 and the 100 bond. Rooms are very clean but very small, great balconies and views i give them that. Bathroom had doors that open onto the bed so you can see in the bathroom from the bed. Strange shower. From the roof, water leaks onto the floor.or could leak on the lounge carpet if the glass doors were open.
I stay in many hotels spend about 10 or 20 grand a year but id give this place about 3 and a half stars not what i expected. The rude receptionist was the worst and really lowered my opinion of the place. Maybe its because i was wearing a singlet as it was a hot day. I wouldnt stay again unless i had no where else.

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

I stayed one night, the rate (under $200) is very reasonable and included parking and breakfast. The room had a very nice parkland and Yarra view and the location in Richmond is excellent for shopping and dining. Staff were very helpful but the breakfast the next day was very disappointing with poor selection and dried out food.

Room Tip: ask for a room with a view

“Very comfortable unpretentious vibe in the place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

My stay at the Amora Hotel Riverwalk, was extremely enjoyable! Although from the outside driving past if you were to blink then you may very well miss it! However once you enter the hotel you can sense a very comfortable unpretentious vibe in the place! All staff greet you with a big genuine smile on their faces and are all very happy to assist with anything. The rooms are impeccably clean and rather up to date in their furnishings. The buffet breakfast was very enjoyable, with good friendly service. Some good advice would be park in the underground parking for $18.00 per night it is totally worth it to know the car is safe! Also very cheap for being so close to the city! Also if you are planning to stay here go to reception where you can purchase tram tickets very handy, especially if you are from interstate of overseas and not so tram savvy.

I look forward to staying here again!

“Pricey but classy - clean and good room service / good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed here a few times over about the last 5 years. I like the spa rooms but will set you back 250-300.

Room service is well priced and i've always liked the restaurant food. Situated right beside the yarra you can borrow bikes or jog on tracks beside it. Well situated to city and sporting venues it is on the classy bridge road with a tram line right out front.

Victoria rd shopping centre and plethora of vietnamese ./ dining venues are also quite close at hand.

Richmond hotel.pub across the road is also very popular,

I found the place to be immacukately cleanly and the staff very helpful.

Room Tip: Go on - you KNOW you want that spa!
