Novotel Melbourne South Wharf

We attended the Planetshakers conference at the MEC which was right next door. It was walking distance (<100m) to the event. My wife and I appreciated the friendliness and professionalism of the Novotel staff. The room was convenient and comfortable to have a good rest especially between sessions during the conference. The DFO and restaurants offered good opportunity to have the retail therapy (for my wife) and to dine to delicious foods.

My friend and I booked flights to Melbourne to see Coldplay which we were quite disappointed with as flights were extremely expensive and so decided to opt for the cheaper option with a hotel. We were not expecting much as it was quite cheap, which we were also disappointed with as we wanted an enjoyable experience. We were extremely surprised to find that the standard room we walked in to was in very good condition and quite fancy, with a beautiful view overlooking the highway and river. We were greeted with the most warm and welcoming concierge and our entire experience with this hotel was outstanding. Notably, the beds were extremely comfy and the bathroom style was divine.

We had a fantastic stay. The woman who checked us in was absolutely delightful. Started our stay off on a terrific note. The room was beautiful and clean. We had room service, the meals was very tasty and arrived quickly, great serving sizes. The toiletries were great-wonderful smell. The presentation of the hotel and the staff were lovely. There was a good selection of lovely breakfast foods at the buffet.

Location was great and the room was clean and comfortable

The location right next to south wharf DFO is fantastic. Especially with small children. The car park for the hotel is the south wharf dfo parking. They offer for $50 and unlimited exit and entry.
