I have stayed here a few times and have normally loved it. Not sure if they have had a change of staff but their service was really poor. Front desk staff were really not friendly. House keeping didn’t clean our room, they just pulled out bedding up and took our towels and left us with none. Had to go to the front desk to get more as they would not bring us up any. There was one guy collecting dishes from the breakfast who was very nice.

The Holiday Inn Express Southbank is a modern, fresh, clean hotel well situated right behind the National Gallery of Victoria and Arts Centre for those seeing a concert or play. Moreover, it is right behind the Southbank promenade of shops, bars and restaurants and only another few minutes stroll from there into the city. It is particularly convenient for people driving into Melbourne with easy and fast access both into and out of the city. The only single drawback from our stay was, on entering the bar area for a drink, every single table was filled with empty glasses and rubbish which had not been cleared away - even though there were only two tables with people sitting having a drink on a very quiet Saturday evening. An otherwise excellent hotel was let down by either insufficient staffing or some very uninterested and or lazy staff rostered on that night. That aside, I would certainly recommend this hotel.

A group travelling with 4 separate rooms, pleased we were all located on the same floor. Rooms were clean. A couple front of house staff need a little extra experience to have better empathy towards staff training as we all need to start somewhere, as well have more understanding to guess needs. Will recommend this place, would stay again. Thank you
