I stay at this hotel mainly for work however I am also staying there this weekend with my family.
The hotel is in a great position close to shops,china town and walking distance to the opera house.
The rooms are of a good size and beds comfortable. The spa and pool on the rooftop are great and lovely to spend an evening watching the sunset. Definalty recomend this hotel
This website is a great way to book accomodation. You know exactly what you are getting and alot of the time you are dealing directly with the property owners. Allways reliable, and i use it alot of the time when we travel. Keep up the good work
Terrible place to stay. The reception staff are rude, the rooms are smaill and the housekeeping horendous. I would not recemend this accommodation at all and for the price you would expect more from this 5 star hotel
Approximate cost: $220
It's like stepping into grandma's garden. Cute outdoor settings topped off with chinese umbrellas on hot days to protect yourself from the sun. The jugs of pimms and fruit compliment the homemade sausage rolls and chicken sandwiches. The wait staff look like they have just stepped off the court of Wimbledon..Great place especially on a sunny afternoon.
Very relaxing the minute you step in the door. Love the relaxing tea and not being rushed to start my treatment. I had a massage and the therapist was great and used just the right amount of pressure. The room was warm and the music relaxing will definatly be back. Did you know that you can get health rebates on some of their massages??
When you first walk in you expect your usual local pizzeria but wait this one is different. Firstly the staff are so friendly you feel like you are visiting family. The menu has something for everyone. My husband had the duck that was on special and it was one of the best he has had. The pizzas are woodfired and really fresh ingrediants. The pasta is homemade and you know you are getting value for money when you can't finish it. This is a great family place to go..The wine list is not overpriced also
Approximate cost: $25
This was a huge disappointment. We went there a couple of years ago and the food was great..well i think it has changed hands of chef as the food was terrible. I had the beef involtine as it was a special and it was like rolled meat boiled in chicken stock. My friend had pasta and it was meant to be spicy but no spice and no flavour...a big let down
Approximate cost: $25
Stopped by the Fitz for brekkie with my friends before a day of shopping. It was a perfect day so we sat outside to get some rays but firstly to people watch.
The staff were very friendly and attentive and remembered our order without writing it down.
I had the vegetarian breakfast which came with eggs,spinach,mushrooms, tomatoes and a choice of chilli jam or beranise sauce on the side. Of course I had both.
My friend had the big brekkie which kept her going all day
The coffee here is perfect for me as i like mine strong and it was not over boiling with burnt milk like some other places.
I would recommend this place perfect for families also
Approximate cost: $18
Yes I dread the gym as well but the women at Fernwood Bulleen make me get of the couch and sweat away on the treadmill. Anne who I first met when I joined nearly one year ago still comes and says Hi and uses my first name. The instructors are great and have fantastic knowledge of fitness.
Its also nice that when you walk in you dont have to fight the muscle men to get to machines.
Also in the bathroom there are nice amenities so you can freshen up after a work out
Thanks Fernwood Bulleen
If you blink you could miss the entrance of this secret bar of Melbourne. Located in Spring St near the European Restaurant you enter through a heavy wooden door up a set of stairs to a bar where you can sit down on leather chesterfield lounges with intimate lighting (good for us girls) and enjoy a coffee or a drink. We were lucky to sit by the arched window that overlooked Spring St so we could watch the world go by while sipping our Campari and Soda's. Great way to finish a night off with friends
