I really enjoyed my stay at the Grand. Great location with easy access to train stations and trams. Staff were friendly. The heated pool was a bonus. The restaurant served fabulous Indian food in the evening and the Grain Store in Flinders Lane, that they recommended for breakfast, was superb. Definitely will stay there again.

Our new go to place to stay in Melbourne

We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel. The studio room was very spacious with an amazingly comfortable king size bed. The kitchen had everything we would need if we were staying longer, dishwasher, microwave and a good size small refrigerator. Bathroom was a good size and the shower and excellent rainfall shiwer. Balcony outside and double glazed windows which did mute the sound of the nearby trains! Didn't notice them at all in the night. Close to trams, Southern Cross station, supermarkets and DFOs. We will definitely make this out hotel of choice in Melbourne.
