The Amora Riverwalk hotel is situated on a Tram Line about 8 kms from Melbourne city centre. The hotel was formerly Rydges Riverwalk Hotel and has been recently renovated to about a 3 .5 star rating. The breakfast in the resturant is not value for money and really needs improving. Do not bother having dinner here as the standard of food is very poor. Since the renovations have occurred the room rates have increased to nearly as much as you could get a 5 star hotel for in the city. The management at this hotel really needs to vastly improve the quality of prepartion and presentation of food served at this hotel.

Stayed at the Amora for 2 nights over easter for a wedding. Upon arrival, we asked if it was possible to have a room wih a king bed. The feller at reception searched and offered us a free upgrade. Room was large, bed was great, room service outstanding. The buffet breakfast was average. Worth trying one of the cafes only minutes walk away. I took advantage of the free bikes available, and rode along the river. Beautiful. Worth a stay!

The car parking was excellent and the room was lovely but that is where to good parts stop. Nicely furbished room with a little balcony that looked onto the roof of a marquee and everyone elses balcony. Not much was complimentary with the room. Minimal personal goods were supplied. The worst part of the room was that the toilet was left soiled. It then had me wondering about what else housekeeping had forgotten. That aside, I was expecting big things considering their prices. There was never any staff around. We had free breakfast with our deal. The food was shocking so if you are booking a room, opt for breaky at a nearby cafe and save yourself some money. As for the location, it was brilliant. Nice little pub across the road and the tram stop was outside the hotel. Lots of shops about. Very convenient to get around and about town.

My husband and I stayed at the Amora for one night in a court yard room. It is definately above average for a hotel located out of the City. It is close enough to the city for you to catch a tram and be in the heart of the CBD in 15 mins (located just out front door). I only have a couple of complaints. The bathroom mat was either dirty or stained (small oversite from houskeeping). Hard to get the shower temp warm (either freezing cold or boiling hot, I got it right eventually) The reception is not visable from the front door and is located around a corner which made us think we entered the wrong door. Ending on a positive note the decor is very nice, staff friendly, secure parking, great views and every room has a balcony. If you are staying in Melbourne and will be hiring a car to do traveling around Victoria and the CBD this would be a great base.
