The Rialto is a 5 star hotel and it is brilliant - mostly. The room layout, for example, is not thought out that well. There is nowhere to sit and watch telly as it is in a difficult position on a side wall. The desk takes up a great swag of the room which equates to wasted space. The chase... More

I've stayed here twice now. I loved it the first time, impressive lobby, big room, good gym, nice pool and little touches like a weather forecast left on your bed in the evenings. My stay last night however was a bit more on the miss side. The room was TINY, without doubt the smallest I've ever stayed in in a... More

Went in for some drinks and some conversation at the bar with about 7 friends, having been usually accustomed to impeccable service and a formal yet relaxed atmosphere, we were shocked at what we found. Upon arrival, there was no warm reception nor a pleasant greeting, just a "you can sit down the back and i'll be over soon", as... More

We got a room for $295 on IHG's website and so given it was just a bit more than the Mercure and Hilton we decided to stay here as its close to Clifton's where our training course was held. This is a gorgeous hotel with very elegant interiors, superb staff an it was quiet and comfortable. More

The first thing that we noticed was the warm and efficient greeting by the reception staff. Check-in was completed in no time at all and our bags arrived in our room promptly. Each time we passed through the lobby and entrance foyer, staff acknowledged us like old friends. The rooms, whilst not big, are well laid out and very liveable.... More

The hotel is a fusion of an historic Melbourne building and a modern structure combined in such a way to give a really pleasing setting. Rooms are centred around an open five storey atrium that gives an airy and pleasant ambience and creates a mood of quiet even in a busy hotel environment. The rooms are excellently appointed with all... More
