We stayed at this hotel for two nights prior to going on a cruise. The hotel was in a very good position and was advertised as four star. We were greeted very pleasantly and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Everywhere was clean and bright. However, on entering our room we were very disappointed to find that we had... More

The Alto trades as an environmentally friendly hotel and they do walk the talk, from 100% wind power to bins for recyclables. But there is no stinting on comfort or quality. The hotel is well located near Spencer St Station and airport shuttle buses, and its an easy walk to most offices, shopping and entertainment. My room was very quiet... More

I have found the service here really friendly and helpful. The room is small but in good condition. Strong antiseptic smell this time, but didn't notice this last time. I love the location too. So great to get off the Skybus from the airport and be under 5 minutes' walk to the hotel. Just really impressed with the service this... More

This is a nice little boutique hotel which is reasonably priced and kept in good shape. The hotel room (room 202) we had was very small in comparison to the larger chains but was very clean and tidy and would suit either a single traveler or a couple. No real view from our room but we were at the back... More

Excellent location just 5 minutes from Southern Cross Station. This hotel was great value and the extra touches made all the difference. The rooms were a little small but were really well equipped. The breakfasts were good, with plenty of choice. What made this hotel were the excellent reception staff, the free wifi, the free teas and capuccinos in the... More

This was a great place for us to stay while we were visiting Melbourne. The staff were very polite, friendly and had great knowledge of the city. The tram stop was right outside, so traveling about the city was easy. We walked a lot, and the location made this very easy. The skybus to the airport was also just down... More

The hotel is small and friendly, rooms have free wi-fi and our rate included an excellent breakfast. Just across from Southern Cross Station so easy by bus to the airport and any other transportation. More

This a really good hotel and fully justifies it's rating. Otherwise - nice rooms, helpful staff, free wifi, great location, good security, laundry facilities and a lot of effor to make up for missing services (I.e gym, room service) by striking deals with local providers. Good stuff. More

Excellent location, especially for out of towers. Very short walk from Skybus/southern cross station. Easy walk to town and to the tennis trams before the big crowds get on. Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a 2 bedroom apartment with all the amenities we needed. Perfect. We'll be back! More

We stayed at Alto last week and were delighted to have found this gem. It's well located, right next to Southern Cross Station where the Skybus from Melbourne Airport arrives. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly, there is Wi-fi which works perfectly, and 24-hour coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine. Breakfast is available, but we felt it was a tad... More
