We had a good time here, it’s so nice and close to all restaurants and shops. The service was excellent, room is clean and all the receptionist were so helpful. I recommend anyone who wants to find a place to stay, City Limits is the one.

Hidden gem, only found this place through a friend’s recommendation as it doesn’t appear to come up high in searches - which probably won’t stay this way for long! Would love to come back. Thank you for the stay.

Great location for theatre district/Chinatown

Very clean and nicely renovated hotel well located near Melbourne public transport, theatre district and numerous restaurants/cafes for all day dining. Bed was a little hard but OK. Checked in early (prior to theatre matinee session) and Lily (Guest Services) kindly found us a room that was available for early check-in. Tissue box in bathroom only had one tissue in it but Lily happily provided us with another box when the matter was reported. The complimentary tea/coffee/hot chocolate station in the reception sitting area is a great idea and well appreciated. The gift provided to us by the Hotel for our special occasion was unexpected and a nice touch.
