Hi, thanks for taking the time to write a review. You're comments will be taken into consideration.
The room was very clean and i really liked the way my name was written on Tv, kind of welcoming me. But When I entered in the hotel, the reception area and in the lifts looks like ghetto apartments. Those written things are unnecessary. Doesn’t look good at all. Reception area includes coffee area supposed to look attractive.

Hi Zawadi! We are sure you agree on INK Hotel not looking like your ordinary 4* hotel ;) While most people absolutely love the fresh take on hotels, we completely understand it's just not everyone's cup of tea. Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback.

Loved the newness and as a tennis fan it was very convenient to walk to the AO venue.

Our stay was lovely. Good size room, catering for wheel chairs. Central position. Room was clean and very quiet. We stayed here for the AO. A 10 mins walk to Flinders Street station. Close to the crown casino and nice to walk southbank along the water.

I had a nice clean room. The property is handy for the south bank. All the staff are friendly and helpful.
Negative - tiles slippy in the shower - i was worried about falling. Limited eating options for breakfast

We are very sorry to hear about the tiles. We have noted this and are currently working on a solution. Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Response from INK Hotel Melbourne Southbank on Feb 15, 2024
Our sincere apologies for the issues with your room. They have been noted and while the showerhead has easily been fixed, we have had to replace the TV entirely.If you do choose to come back to INK Hotel, please make sure to contact us directly so we can add a complimentary breakfast to your stay.
Great location for local restaurants and bars, within walking distance of most places you’d need to visit in Melbourne. Friendly staff who were always willing to offer advice.

Hi Andew, thank you so much for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to do so :)
We loved this boutique hotel, Ink and it was in a great location and it was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was close to Southbank restaurants and the Crown Casino and easy walk to Flinders street station and Federation Square. There was a carpark only 5 mins walk away. The room had everything required and the bed was comfortable We will definitely return there

Thank you for your feedback, Frank! During popular days and public holidays, the prices for a hotel room might fluctuate, explaining the increase for your stay during New Years.

Thanks for your feedback, Debra. Our apologies for the delay in check in. When multiple guests arrive at the same time there might be a bit of a delay, indeed.There are little 15ml cups of milk in your room as well to use for either coffee or tea.
It's a little quirky, interesting art throughout the property. Very friendly staff. Easy walking distance to Southbank. Comfortable room. The room was small but had everything you would require. Nice bed and plenty of accessories in the room.

The hotel was close to the conference centre and I was pleasantly surprised by comfort of the rooms and convenience offered. The hotel was close enough to Southbank and the restaurants, and within comfortable walking distance to Flinders Street station. I will use it again if I need to be close to the CBD.
Unique decor and comfortable lounge with a happy hour. Helpful staff. Close to a grocery and a couple of excellent restaurants. 5-minute walk to the tram and casino. Loved our extended stay!
Great,central place to stay,in beautiful Melbourne!!Staff attentive,food delicious,and large portions!Love the eco freindly incentivefor monies off food,for NOT having room cleaned! Good choice,if ever back in Aussie,i will stay here!!!!!

Unfortunately my colleague and I were allocated a “ BUDDY “room where the shower door and toilet door open directly into the room . Hence no provision for privacy , was very awkward .
( was a Twin share )
Be aware of the Buddy rooms , our room number was 909
