Quick Aces Premium Overview
You know, the first time I rolled up to Quick Aces Premium on Collins Street – right there at 568, smack in the middle of Melbourne’s CBD – I was dragging my suitcase from Southern Cross Station, and honestly, it was a breeze. No more than a 10-minute walk, dodging the trams clanging along the tracks and weaving through the lunchtime crowds spilling out from those little laneway cafes. Collins Street has that old-school vibe, with its grand old buildings and suited-up folks rushing to meetings, but this hotel fits right in without feeling stuffy. I mean, it’s a solid 4-star spot with an 8.5 rating that actually lives up to the hype – not one of those overpromised places that leave you regretting your booking. The lobby’s got this welcoming hum, like the low chatter of guests mixing with the scent of fresh eucalyptus from the diffusers (yeah, they lean into that Aussie touch), and check-in was quick – the staff even tossed in a tip about grabbing a flat white from the joint next door on Little Collins, which turned out to be a lifesaver after my flight.
What really hooked me, though, was how the place balances comfort with that practical edge you need in a busy city like Melbourne. My room on the higher floors overlooked the Yarra River glimpses – well, sort of, if you squint past the office towers – and it was quiet enough at night, despite the occasional tram rumble below. (Pro tip: if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room facing away from Collins; the back ones are dead silent after 10 PM.) The bed was plush, with those crisp white sheets that feel like a hug after a day exploring, and the bathroom had decent pressure in the shower – none of that weak trickle you get in some older hotels around here. Amenities-wise, there’s a small gym that’s actually usable (not crammed with dusty equipment), and the rooftop bar serves up craft beers from local spots like Moon Dog – perfect for unwinding with views of the city lights. Oh, and parking? If you’re driving in, they have valet for about 50 bucks a day, which isn’t cheap, but beats circling the CBD streets during peak hour madness. I did notice the elevators can get a bit backed up around breakfast time – you know, when everyone’s heading down to the buffet, which is pretty solid with fresh fruit and those mini avo toasts Aussies love – but it’s a minor gripe in the grand scheme.
All in all, if you’re hitting Melbourne for work or just to soak up the vibe – maybe catching a show at the Arts Centre or wandering Federation Square, both a quick stroll away – Quick Aces is the kind of spot that makes your trip smoother without breaking the bank. It’s not flawless; during summer peak season, the area buzzes with tourists, so book early if you want that river-view room. But honestly, for the location alone, right where the action is without the overwhelming chaos of Bourke Street, it’s a winner. I’ve stayed in fancier joints, but this one feels real, like it knows what travelers actually need – a comfy base to crash after pounding the pavements. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially in the cooler months when the city’s laneways are less crowded and you can really enjoy that morning walk to Queen Vic Market for some fresh produce.
