Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent
"Nice place to stay if you love the cbd and the surrounding things to do within the cbd. I walked pretty much everywhere (outskirts as well) and the city is just a wonderful things to experience from outside (not in a car). The location of hotel is great because the tram is literally right across the street while travel supplies (toiletries) is found in a store about a block away (less than a 10 minute walk). Bars and restaurants are close by too."

"The room was bright, clean and modern. The bed comfy and plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. Kitchen was equipped with basic cooking facilities (but missing a plug!) which were great. We were on a higher floor and had no noise issues at all. The pool and jacuzzi were amazing! Very happy with our stay. We will be back."
