Rye Beach

Melbourne is generally safe. This hotel is in a shady part of town. Arguments on street at night. AC/heater did not work, so they sent up a portable one that worked fine. There is no sin on the street; after five minutes of walking past it many times, we asked locals, and they pointed far up to a YEHS sign.

We arrived at 2pm and were delighted to be given a room ahead of the official check in time of 3pm. Room is of a good size with view of the Parliament House in distance. However the hotel is so close to the nearby office buildings that we could actually see the office ppl’s monitors! Bathroom was a bit small and dim. Furnishing a bit dated. Housekeeping can be improved cos they forget to replenish bath mat, toilet paper, hand soap, slippers. So we had to call housekeeping late at time to make request but housekeeping staff were quick to respond and always came with a friendly smile. We would like to compliment the breakfast crew for their ever chippy attitude. Always great to see their lovely smiles! Thank you for the hospitality. We had the same breakfast food for 10 days and it’s really boring. Hotel can consider changing the menu variety. Hotel location can’t be any better for us. Places of interest generally within walking distance. Grabbing a uber was also super convenient. We had a great time at Next hotel!
