Rydges Bell City, Preston, Victoria, Australia

When we entered the room my kids initial reaction was WOW. The room were clean and well presented with modern fittings a fixtures. We booked 2 family rooms as a family of 9 and the hotel accommodated our request to have them next to one another. Each had a kitchenettee so if we wanted to cook our own meals we could have. The beds were comfortablee and house keeping ensured the room was cleaned and well presented when we returned from being out. The location was perfect as we have a lot of family in the northern suburbs and it was close to the location of the funeral we were attending. The pool area was nice and big, the guy cleaning the pool was also very friendly. The kids loved the smell of the soap that was provided. The only thing that had been neglected was the blinds. When we pulled them down at night you could see dirty finger marks which looked like a toddler had eaten something sticky and used the blinds as a napkin. Also there was a dirty dinner tray in the corridor that probably had been left there a bit too long.

WOULD WE STAY AGAIN? Definitely, we are looking to go to Melbourne again next year and will definitely consider Rydges Bell City for that stay also.
