"I've stayed here a few times for work and the place is close to everything. Some of the rooms have a weird layout, but they are always clean and tidy. They only had self-serve check-in and the first machine I used didn't work and it was a bit annoying to have to enter my info twice, but otherwise it was a great stay."

"Stayed overnight to see a show at Her Majesties theatre. Walking distance to hotel is why we initially booked our stay. We were both extremely happy with our stay. Front staff were very friendly and it took just moments to get us checked in. Room was beyond our expectations. Clean , modern , spacious. We took advantage of pre theatre menu at Bossley restaurant on site and had a very enjoyable meal on a relaxing atmosphere. Late checkout in morning was very appreciated after a late night. We will definately stay again. Thank You Ridges Hotel Melbourne."
