Best Hotels near Australian Galleries, Collingwood

Friend and I stayed for 4 nights! Location great. Room not so great. It looks fantastic but is so impractical. No space to store luggage. Hanging closet exceptionally small and located next to cook top. No privacy when getting dressed after shower as there was no door. Good thing my friend & I know how to give each other space. The outdoor balcony made me wonder what a prison cell would feel like. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels over my life but this one will stand out for all the wrong reasons. I also need to comment on the front desk staff as not once did they look up as I walked past or greet me. On a positive note the bed was good.

The staff were very helpful and the parking was very convenient. It cost about 25 euros a night. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel, and eating is very convenient. The environment is very good and the light is very good. There is a self-service laundry service.

A great little hotel. Quite unique with its glass roof and rooms with windows opening on to the courtyard. Decent rooms, clean and well laid out. Note many negative reviews from a few years ago. If you expect the Hyatt, this is not the place for you :-) It is a cheap and cheerful place with friendly staff. Parking is underneath the hotel. 5 minute walk to a range of trams, train stops and buses. Located very closely to Richmond's Victoria Parade and the trams to the city. Certainly would stay again on any trip to Melbourne. If you are on a budget, this is a great place.

Not recommended for those who value their personal data security and privacy. Not recommended for internati9nal travellers who may not have enough charge on their phones to complete 3 forms, then download and set up an app that requires constant internet and Bluetooth connections. Booking required multiple insecure methods of sharing credit card details and identification documents along with 2 forms to fill out with personal details and an app to download in order to gain access to the Building entrance, Elevator, and Apartment. None of this information was given to me prior to booking. I would not have stayed here if I had known the extent of insecure transmission of personal information and amount of admin and work required just to check in and stay one night. I work in this space and know the risks. Management is putting guests personal data at risks with the excessive documentation requests. FYI, requiring someone to send credit card PICTURES and ID pictures over email is completely insecure. This is bizarrely at odds with the excessive security to get into the building. The constant need to carry your phone everywhere or you'd be locked of the apartment or even the whole building was extremely stressful. In terms of the actual room, once I got in, the bed, kitchen, lounge and floors were clean but the toilet had not been cleaned in a long time. This was not nice. You could see parts under the rim had not been cleaned in years. Toilet had also been recently used and not flushed properly upon arrival. I did not take photos of any of this, it was too gross. I ended up buying paper cups as the glasses/cups as those supplied were not clean, tried to take a picture but it's hard to see. They were covered in fingerprints and fibres of some kind. The view was nice and loungeroom was great, study nook was extremely handy for remote work. Balcony tiles are moving and could be a tripping hazard. Laundry was well equipped but did not have time to use it.

This is like a backpacker hotel, but there are also single rooms for singles. Because it's cheap, you can't expect too much of it. Although breakfast is included, its breakfast is difficult to swallow. You should prepare your own breakfast. Don't expect cheap hotels to be good, then this backpacker hotel is not bad. Because there are so few cheap hotels here. Overall I give 50 points.

Apar**ent is clean . Issue with parking access . Had trouble getting into carpark as door access card not working 🙁

Although my Dayuse booking said from 2.00pm to 9.00pm, the Comfort Hotel East Melbourne REFUSED TO LET ME STAY IN THE ROOM for the full extent of my booking. After a very confusing argument at check-in, they told me I could stay until 8.00pm, so I agreed and paid. But then at 7.00pm HOUSEKEEPING ENTERED THE ROOM and when they saw I was still there, they brought the woman from reception to INSISTENTLY KNOCK MY DOOR and tell me that I could only be there until 7.00pm!!! SO THEY KICKED ME OUT WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING BEFORE THE AGREED AND ALREADY REDUCED CHECKOUT TIME, AND KEEP MY MONEY FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE TO THE FULLEST??? I FELT SOOO TRICKED!! THAT WAS NOT OK!! The rooms are clean and nice. The location is great as well. I am just ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED by the way they managed my reservation.

Excellent location just a short walk from North Richmond train station. Very friendly and helpful reception. Apartment was spacious and in good condition with all the normal amenities, and excellent heating on what was one of Melbourne’s coldest nights for the year, although the living room furniture is getting a little old. The only negative was that the guests directly upstairs partied late and then got up very early, a problem because there’s almost no soundproofing between floors.
