I had a mostly enjoyable stay at the hotel. The location along the Yarra River was beautiful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. However, a few downsides, like limited breakfast options and some cleanliness issues in the room, dampened the overall experience.

Rooms

My room was incredibly spacious with a king-sized bed and a lovely balcony. I especially loved the luxurious towels and the walk-in shower. However, I did notice that the carpets felt a bit grimy, which was disappointing.

Service

The staff was really friendly and did their best to make my stay comfortable. They even provided bicycles for a ride along the river. Although there were times when they seemed a bit understaffed, overall, I felt well taken care of.

Location

The hotel's location was perfect for me since it was away from the hustle and bustle but still close to good food options and the tram service. Being next to the river offered a great setting for a relaxing walk.

Dining

I enjoyed the breakfast, but I found the selection a bit lacking. I had hoped for more variety, as it left something to be desired compared to what I expected.

Facilities

Facilities like room service and a small gym were nice to have, but I think the dining experience could improve. Despite the nice bar area, the restaurant booking confusion was frustrating.

My stay at Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne was quite a mix. While I appreciated the really good service and the clean, comfortable room (the balcony was a nice touch), the major downside was the ongoing building works nearby that affected the ambiance and natural light. Overall, I would say it's a decent place to stay if you can overlook a few inconveniences.

My stay at the Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, with easy tram access into the city and nearby cafes. However, the ongoing renovations were quite disruptive, starting early in the morning. While my room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was disappointing, with a limited selection and subpar quality.

Rooms

The room was spacious and had a comfy king-sized bed, which I appreciated. It could have been cleaner since there were some issues with maintenance, but overall, it was a decent space.

Service

Housekeeping was friendly and helpful, especially when I needed extra towels during my trips away from the hotel. However, some staff interactions felt a little offhand at times.

The hotel's location was ideal for my plans, with convenient tram access right by the front door, making it easy to get into the city. I liked being close to Richmond as well.

Dining

I only had breakfast there once because it was overpriced for the quality. The muesli was pretty bland, and the hot food wasn't fresh. Definitely not worth the $24.

Facilities

The facilities were standard, with room service and staff ready to assist with requests. However, the choppy WiFi and noisy renovations detracted from the overall experience.

I had a comfortable stay at the Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne. the location is great, right by a tram stop and near the Yarra River for a pleasant walking experience. However, I noticed some housekeeping issues that could use attention, and the noise level on a Friday night was quite distracting.

The staff were really good and very welcoming. they quickly provided assistance when needed, though at times it felt a bit understaffed.

Location

The hotel is conveniently located near a tram stop, making it easy to reach the CBD in about 20 minutes. however, I found it to be a bit too isolated for my liking, especially since it's not close to major attractions.

Dining

I enjoyed the meal at the restaurant. but the breakfast buffet was not the best, compounded by some unpleasant smells from ongoing renovations in the area.

Facilities

The amenities are decent, including room service and bike rentals for exploring. yet, parking is not included and seemed a bit unnecessary given the plentiful street parking available.

Overall, it was a comfortable stay but fell short of expectations.
