I just love staying in this hotel.

We last stayed at Alto in January 2006, just after the hotel opened,(which was the last time we visited Melbourne). The convenience of location to transport is a big plus, also the safety for older people to walk around the area of a night. The reception staff very friendly and willing to help with "tourist" questions. The room clean and sufficient for our needs.

Front desk staff was very kind to allow us to use the massage chairs on arrival early in the morning. Breakfast staff was sometimes not so fast and occupied by discussing personal matters.

Excellent. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our request for an early check in. Thank you.

I've stayed at Alto approx 15 nights - this was my 3rd or 4th time. Up to expectations, except I was surprised and annoyed to find that a few guests were apparently not welcome to meet in my room after 10pm. This is an extraordinary limitation for an upmarket hotel costing around $200 per night!

Loved that you had eco-friendly rooms, with wind power, low energy bulbs, dispensers for soaps, and no takeaway cups etc. But especially the recycling bin - first hotel I have ever stayed in which had one - about time! Umbrella in room also came in handy.

We appreciated our luggage being held at the hotel until later in the day of departure to save us dragging it around the city before we caught our train home. We find the Alto a convenient stop over both before and after flying in/out from overseas, this breaks up what could be a very tedious/tiring journey for us. A very convenient hotel for a few days stay in the City due to its close proximity to Southern Cross Station. We always enjoy our stay at The Alto.

I was unable to get my Mac to connect to hotel wifi while staying. It didn't prevent me from working, but it did present a minor inconvenience. Perhaps retesting wifi against a number of devices would be useful.

We are always looked after, the staff are fantastic, Andrew always goes out of his way to make us welcome. We always recommend staying with you to all our friends in Darwin.

a little bit noisy - other guests late at night in corridor and slamming doors

Susan from Wgv, Australia

We have stayed at Alto for our last three visits to Melbourne and would never contemplate staying anywhere else.

Staff (as usual) were exceptional, particularly as there was a SES crisis at the time. Staff spared the time to let me look over the heritage room (401) - enjoyed that. Breakfast was very enjoyable with ample variety. Jan (my spouse) loves this hotel - happy wife = happy life.

Good

Jacqueline from Morwell, Australia

Very nice people, nice room, but no draw space and bathroom sink was positioned in a very awkward place so basically could not wash face or do teeth without water over the floor.

Blink and you miss it from the outside, but very nice apartment in a pretty good location. Liked the greener energy touches, too.

We had a great weekend. Friendly staff, great facilities and close to everything. The weather could have been better but we can't penalise you for that! To be able to get a 3 Bedroom/3 Bathroom unit was a surprise and perfect for our requirements (we are a group that met on Trafalgar Tour of Europe in 2006 and each year we get together for a "reunion"). Thank you to the team at the Alto.

For us it supplies all our needs. It has become our home in Melbourne and we recommend to all who ask. Convenient for footy at Ethiad or MCG, tram at door, close to CBD. Staff always friendly, love that breakfast is cooked fresh for you,

Gail from Armadale, Australia

On this particular occasion, we were very pleased with our experience. Front reception staff were friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, and clean, and well appointed. One comment though: despite double glazing, the motors of the external units of the air con/s are quite noisy (the noise travels up from these), and on this night you could also quite clearly hear the 'thump thump thumping' of a nearby pub or club until at least 3am; and also a garbage truck picked up bottles early Friday morning (approx 5am) which was very noisy. Not much you can do about this I know but just letting you know - it is quite disturbing and unfortunate.

We keep coming back on our Melbourne visits because we have only had good experiences.

Pretty good. A pity you don't have ABC news channel,on TV or ABC Radio national on the radio. The bathroom scales are pretty dodgy (ie loose battery, then when connected gave me a totally flattering but inaccurate weight

Joanna from Sydney, Australia

Nothing to complain. Services was professional and friendly. Really liked the reading room, free coffee and apples, and the fact that the bedroom door stayed opened when you are struggling to bring/take out the heavy bags on wheels. Appreciated the free wi-fi.

Teresa from Sydney, Australia

very happy with service from reception staff and overall comfort and cleanliness of our room. Sadly one of your breakfast room staff (Saturday morning) curt and inattentive. I also found my vegetarian room service meal to be almost inedible. Therefore found front of house staff and the hotel wonderful -catering side (except for quality brrakfast) a let down. Thanks, Allyson

Allyson from Brisbane, Australia

It was a pleasant stay. My room was a bit dark (1st floor), that is why the comfort was rated "only" good...

Michael from Vienna, Austria

I loved the new bed and doona. And the room looks more modern with the TV on the wall enabling better access to the desk and powerpoints for working. And the new towel racks in the bathroom are stylish and functional. Breakfast was great and Front desk staff impeccable as usual. I applaud your continuous improvement and attention to detail. best wishes Paul

This is my 3rd stay at the Alto and i will be coming back on the 26th October. Everytime my experience at the Alto has been excellent and i will always recommend the Alto to my friends and family.

CHARLES from Perth, Australia

IT WAS A VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY hotel IN WHICH I WOULD STAY AGAIN IF AND ONLY IF I WAS 100% GUARANTEED A ROOM THAT WAS NOT ON THE TRAM SIDE OF THE BUILDING. I DID REQUEST A QUIET ROOM BUT THIS WAS OVERLOOKED AND WE WERE GIVEN 301 WHICH WAS VERY NOISY BECAUSE OF THE TRAMS. THE hotel WAS FULLY BOOKED SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I THINK MORE ATTENTION TO SPECIAL REQUESTS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT WHILST ALLOCATING ROOMS.LOVE LOVE LOVE THE COFFEE MACHINE AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
