Very homely style with plenty of help around when requested. We loved the location, quiet but close to everything we wanted.. Whilst the pull out beds were not so comfortable it is ideal accommodation for our family.

I have traveled a lot on business and have a lot of experience with hotels. I liked this hotel. I've also seen the mixed reviews on the web. I think the problem is that some people's expectations are raised by the label "Boutique" and the website photos of the rooms with antique furniture as well as the long shot of the building, which implies it is a heritage building rather than a middle-aged concrete building with added gingerbread. While our room, #9, was clean and comfortable, it did not have antique furniture. The duvet cover also was of a "Hummer" truck design; this is not in keeping with the "boutique" designation. Someone who is counting on a true "boutique" hotel may be disappointed to get a room with normal hotel furniture in an older concrete, but not heritage, building. Having said this, the front office and cleaning staff were wonderful, cheerful, and very helpful. The breakfast can only be described as "stupendous", "expansive", "huge", etc. with eggs cooked fresh for us each morning and a generous choice of cold breakfast cereals, fruit, juice, toast, and sausages. Overall, I liked the hotel a lot and will stay there again if I return to Melbourne.

This stay seemed even better than the last time. The young chap that manages it now was very helpful and courteous. The room was very good, the location makes it just right and the breakfast was great.

Not for publication. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location of the hotel was not only convenient to parks, railway, trams and the city but it was in a delightful and interesting area. And we enjoyed the breakfasts!

Experience good again. Please note there were no coathangers in wardrobe. Breakfast food range seems better. I put 'with friends' for booking type. Couldn't find entry to suit me bringing my grown-up son.

great location, easy access, and whilst the room wasnt large it suited our needs. I only eat toast/ cereal for breakfast, so it was fine for my taste, overall I would stay again if i visited Melbourne.

We had a lovely time. Friendly helpful staff who also spoilt us with a little treat in our room for our wedding anniversary. The room was a little weary and in need of an update in the bathroom, but overall an adequate room in a great location. Really nice to have breakfast provided too. And a lovely outlook onto the gardens.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we found them to be fantastic. The breakfast was great and the location perfect, The only down side would be that we had no extractor fan in our ensuite and their was some mould in the bathroom. It would have been helpful if their had been a lounge area to sit, but overall everything was great. Thanks again. :-)

Remko from Drachten, Netherlands

bed comfortable; quiet room; window slightly ajar so fresh air; plenty of hanging and storage space; sufficient towels - all good. Cracks in tiles on bathroom floor not good. Parking good after I asked if their were temporary parking permits to park on the street; suggest this service be made known as people arrive as the parking at the back is limited. The $50 deposit is reasonable and completely understandable and was returned promptly. I was happy with cereal and fruit for breakfast and only found out one could ask for eggs etc. after I left from the friends who had recommended the accommodation to me - someone who expects a more substantial breakfast would be disappointed not to know. The location is excellent and staff always very polite and helpful - so long as you know what you wanted and what was available. Regards, Barbara R Benson

The hotel provide a very warmth feeling. The location is very convenient to the city as well as good amenities around. The service of staff is also very good although there was some issue with the car parking facilities. Overall, the stay is very satisfied and will definitely come back for next visit.

always enjoyable. Only thing with the room we were in (26) was that the location of the bedside table prevented access to the wardrobe. Otherwise a great room. Plug didn't fit bath or sink. Staff were very obliging. Nice breakfast. Have stayed previously, and will again. Nice feel!

Our stay at Magnolia exceeded our expectations. A gorgeous hotel in a beautiful setting, friendly and helpful staff, good start to the day breakfast, and complimentary wifi, only minutes walk from the city. We had been several years ago and had forgotten what good value the hotel was. Thankyou.

We received a phone call from the manager to check on arrival time, and to advise of after hours entry - excellent. Entry after hours was no problems. Manager was extremely helpful with breakfast, noting that we had to leave to get the ferry. Manager provided map to assist us with getting to the ferry. Manager was outstanding. Look forward to staying with you again on Sun, 20 Feb11.
