Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very good. Did not use parking. Room was spotless."

Rydges Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Excellent breakfast; asian and western styles available and delivered by staff happy in their work. Staff were very professional; attentive without being intrusive and always happy to provide suggestions or advice. Excellent location. Close to Chinatown - avoid the Shanghai Village restaurant if you want a quiet dinner - and the CBD. Make use of the free transport in the city centre; route 35 takes you around the whole city on a one hour tour. Also go on the free walking tours around the city, but leave the knowledgeable guide a gratuity at the end! Don't miss Brunetti Oro cafe for fabulous coffee and cakes."

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

6/10 Okay

"Good value hotel. Centrally located with easy access to tram, cafe, restaurant and attraction. Stayed here a couple of times before. Unfortunately this time our room wasn't clean and missing additional security lock. We asked for the room to be cleannes properly the next day but it wasn't done. Management eventually gave us a different room which was clean. Despite the issue, we would return and recommend as all our previous stays were good."
