Pullman Hotels in Melbourne

The Pullman Albert Park is rated as a 5 star hotel but is probably 3 star at best. The room was spacious but the bathroom was extremely outdated having stayed in 3 star hotels with newer bathrooms. There were no usb ports in the room or power points near the bed, only at floor level near the desk and the television only had local channels and a couple of Fox sport channels. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating and the buffet breakfast was okay.

The location is fantastic, right in Chinatown. Stepping out, you're surrounded by various Chinese restaurants and supermarkets, so there's no need to book breakfast. It's in the CBD, so many attractions are nearby, and a free tram stop is just a short walk away. The room is spacious and very clean. However, the service and amenities are just average. There's no water in the room; you have to go to the corridor to get it, and you need to bring your own slippers, toothbrush, and toothpaste. The biggest drawback is also the location. Chinatown turns into a bar street at night. After 8 PM, the area gets very chaotic with teenagers, drunk people, homeless individuals, and sex workers, which can be a bit intimidating. If this bothers you, you might consider booking a hotel in a quieter neighborhood that's not as central or in an upscale area. If you do stay here, it's best not to go out after 9 PM, although it's very normal and great for exploring during the day. Overall, for this price in Melbourne city center, I think it offers good value for money.

I requested a room with a nice view, and they delivered! The staff were incredibly friendly as well. The beds were comfortable, perfect for our family of four. Having the tram stop right in front of the hotel made getting to the city super convenient.
