The Victoria Hotel Melbourne
"Overall a really great place to stay for the convenience of walking anywhere in the CBD. The hotel is clean and well presented. Only downside was our room wasn’t cleaned properly each day, lack of vacuuming or cleaning the bathroom - only towels were changed, bed was made and bins emptied."
