Quiet little street, you wouldn’t even realise you a block over from the main shopping mall. Perfect location if you want to stay in the heart of the CBD with tram stops only around the corner and plenty of food options as well. Staff were brilliant and allowed us to keep our luggage there until the evening after we checked out.

Fantastic super easy to get to (public transport). Staffed 24/7 by excellent, welcoming staff. Great lifts, room (Urban King) quite spacious. Nice table and 2 comfy chairs. Robes, slippers and nice amenities. Spacious shower. Bed super comfy. Coffee machine too! Easy to access after hours. What’s not to love. Everyone should give The Howey a go!

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.

A recently refurbished hotel, everything was clean and modern. The rooms are functional and the bed is very comfortable. Only minor downsides are a very underwhelming lobby, with empty (unfinished?) bar/restaurant area, a lack of complimentary in room water and no body lotion. They are only small things but I’d still return for another stay.

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.

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!

Our room was on a smaller size, but didn’t need more. Hot water in the shower was not great. They need to invest in a better toilet paper. Cutting corners like this takes away from the caliber of this hotel. The location is very good and close to everything. We had a lovely dinner at the French restaurant (Bistro D’Orsay) and caught a musical across the street.
