“Very pleasant.”
I received an upgrade due to being a regular booking.com member. As I have stayed at The View on numerous occasions, on my arrival I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely fruit platter in my room . Thank You so much.

“Value for Money, in Every Sense”
Perfect location for attending medical appointments nearby. A very short walk to tram stop, Alfred Hospital, Albert Park (AGP), plenty of eateries and convenience stores. Although our view was the next door building, there was ample natural light with big windows. The buffet breakfast was included in our package with many options. Although check in started a little later than normal, check out was also an hour later which was well appreciated. We would definitely stay again.
