We really enjoyed our stay at the Flagstaff Gardens Hotel. It was well placed to all the places we wanted to visit and others we discovered on the walking tour. The breakfast is good and we did eat dinner at the hotel. Our only criticism is that although the food was good at dinner, we were going to order dessert, but the main course took so long to arrive we decided we wouldn't bother.

Total 5 star experience! We stayed one night and definitely needed two nights to fully enjoy this amazing hotel. The room is immaculate, with a very homely feel to it. We enjoyed the pool and gym. I can’t say much more, except that we can’t wait to stay again!

Great overall stay! Did find the bathroom sink far too small though and each time using it would need to mop up the water on the floor. Breakfast was excellent at the Venom Brewery. One suggestion would be to get a professional coffee machine. Found coffee to be sub par for Melbourne standards. Enjoyed tasting some great beers and loved the spicy wings. Will definitely stop in again next time in Melbourne.
