I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights and must say it will probably be the last time. The staff are great and the hotel is in good condition given the age of its fitout, however I find it old fashioned and way past its prime. The bar was very traditional but quite poorly lite - I would call... More

So great to stay somewhere walking distance to all the attractions. This Hotel also allows a one night stay with each room which is rare in Melbourne. Lovely "old school" bar, service and furnishings. The executive room was so much larger than expected with a powder room and separate bedroom with bathroom. Making it so pleasurable as we could get... More

Sir Stamford is a nice hotel, if you like the historical style. The staff we saw were all friendly and helpful (incl housekeeping). The bed was very comfortable, but the main room was quite dark, relying on lamps for lighting. The bathroom was huge and well appointed. We had requested a room with a balcony, and this was met, however... More
