Pullman Stays in Melbourne

One of the not-so-great hotels I have stayed in (And I travel a lot!) - Staff is the only good thing I found in this hotel- Always smiling & willing to help, right from staff in housekeeping to reception. - Located right in the heart of Melbourne city center, but surrounded by buildings on 3 sides. Just 2 top end rooms on every floor that get a street view. All others either have a wall facing them, or a tin roof of a lower building. Felt quite claustrophobic. - Minimal amenities: No laundry service in the hotel (Only dry cleaning), no water in the room (Get it from a tap in the floor - I got locked out twice because I forgot my key in the room), not even a wire to hang/dry something in the bathroom. Definitely not meant for someone who wants basic amenities - not for business travellers for sure.

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 The room was spacious but the bathroom was extremely outdated having stayed in 3 star hotels with newer bathrooms.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.

Stayed at Pullman Melbourne on the Park and had a great experience. The location is excellent, right by the MCG and Fitzroy Gardens. Rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, and the facilities (especially the pool and gym) were a nice bonus. Staff were friendly and efficient. Only downside was pricey parking. Would definitely stay again.
