Top Melbourne Writers Festival Hotel Reviews

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located so easy access to different food outlets, transport readily available. Very helpful staff"

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious, well equipped suite. Polite staff. Decent gym and pool"

Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really nice hotel with a nice pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Great location."

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Amazing stay, check in by Elly was quick and professional, recognised my platinum status straight away and told me about the benefits that this brought. Hotel is showing age and beds need changing however good location, cheap but adequate breakfast and clean hotel."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Staff, room and location were all wonderful. The only downside was that when arriving in our room there was a fan/air con that was extremely noisy and grating. We advised reception of this when leaving for the afternoon, and were told they would look into it. On returning a new reception staff member advised it has been fixed by maintenance so a room move wasnt necessary. Unfortunately a 4am, the noise started again and was intrusive enough to wake us up. Thankfully the following night it happened around 11pm. When checking out we let reception know, only to be told that a maintenance request had been filed and they were aware the problem wasnt fixed. It wasnt a huge deal, but was disruptive and we would have accepted the room change had we not been told the issue was fixed. Otherwise the room was clean, and location near QV, melbourne central and trans is great."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Modern hotel. Friendly staff. Nice rooms, decent breakfast and nice bar area. Conveniently located for access to the CBD. Room has a lot of dust in the slightly out of the way places - such as high shelves on shelving units, behind the TV and in the corner of rooms. Could do with a more thorough clean for dust. The on site gym is handy, but really limited equipment wise. Gym geared towards cardio, with only a small selection of dumbbells. The gym would benefit from some more, heavier dumbbells and perhaps some kettle bells. This would give those looking to weight train greater options. All in all a good hotel."

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel, from the decor and the style to the location and the facilities, it’s now a favourite of ours."

Hannah St Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel! Location, facilities amazing! And staff were so happy and positive."
