Central location
Very central location, within walking distances to some of the best restaurants and coffee in Melbourne CBD.
I stayed in the Capitol Suite which was nice and spacious. Clean and tidy.

A great location
The Howey provides the best location to stay in the City. With access to shopping, great food and walking distance to many attractions. It is locatif within the free team zone. It is tucked in an arcade and is easy to find. The reason I only have 3 *** for cleanliness is because towels had a smell and often stained. Bedding was also stained and dust accumulation in corners of the room.

Perfect overnight stay
Beautifully renovated hotel right near Bourke Street Mall. Gorgeous bathroom. Comfortable bed and pillows. Discount parking. Friendly staff. Perfect overnight stay. Only complaint - there was not enough wardrobe space.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Check in was easy. Room was lovely and inviting. Beds very comfortable. Only negative was the way reception spoke to the housekeeping staff as we checked out. They should be polite to everybody, not just guests. They spoke to the poor man like he was worthless, it made me extremely disappointed and saddened for a man just trying to do his job well.

We had a great stay. Howey was well located and so close to everything. Room was big enough for us 3 and we will definitely be back.
Only downsides was there was no sink/microwave in the ‘kitchen’ area and our room was covered in finger/toe nails that obviously hadn’t been vacuumed up properly.

Great hotel. All the staff we met at the property were very friendly. The room was lovely. The only thing I found was the tv switching channels or just not connecting. But we weren’t there to watch tv. Great location, central to everything we needed.

Perfect CBD Stay
First time staying at The Howey. Selected this hotel as other go-to hotels were pricey by comparison. Very impressed. 8th floor room was very quiet, a surprise given the central CBD location (and close to trams on Swanston St). Lovely modern decor, spotless. Very comfy bed. Amazing shower! Staff very friendly at check-in, instantly felt welcome. Will recommend, and stay again.

Great room, staff and location.
Another wonderful stay. Great room, exceptionally clean and very cosy. Really well designed rooms (power points where you need them & etc) natural light and very comfortable bed. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. I love the gym too, small but enough for a decent workout. The location is brilliant. Excellent value. Many thanks team Howey!

I had prepaid the stay and at check in time, front desk staff tried to charge me again. They hadn’t checked and I had to insist and show them my bank account.
Empty shower gel.
Room was extremely dark, including the bathroom. Very difficult to do my makeup.

A king/queen bed isn’t 2 lumpy singles pushed together with a big bedding over the top - terrible sleep as a result
Yes everything was clean, but light switches and fittings are cheap and don’t always work properly
I won’t be back, sorry guys

Location is excellent. Property conditions were very good. I would highly recommend staying at the Howey and would stay at the property again when visiting Melbourne. The front desk staff seems to be very busy - so be patient. Also laundry was not on site, they would have to take you to another nearby property to do it - that was a disappointment and I must have missed that when I booked. Overall a very pleasant stay.
