Adara Collins

Wifi wasn’t working, shower pressure was poor, parking which you have to pay for was not close to the hotel and you have to pay for late check out. Lame.

This apartment-​hotel has been here for many years, previously part of the Oakford chain and now part of the Adara group.
The hotel is hidden at the back of a corridor next to the Athanaeum Theatre in Collins Street. The location is very central, just a few doors from the town hall and was a great base to explore the wonderful city of Melbourne.
The hotel reception is tiny, but the rooms are spacious. We had a studio apartment that was nicely decorated and well appointed. It took some assistance to get the TV to work, and for some reason we needed a security pin to use the in-​room safe, but the bathroom had a hairdryer and a hair straightener, so, on the whole, I was impressed. Each room has a kitchen and small mini bar.
