Stamford Plaza Melbourne

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

10/10 Excellent
"I experienced such wonderful service at the Stamford Plaza Hotel! They upgraded my room to a King Suite and it was so spacious and comfortable. At the breakfast buffet the staff actually gave me a quick tour to explain what was on offer which was lovely. I really enjoyed my stay there and felt like it was a little home away from home! I would be happy to stay there again. "
