Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Rooms are clean and comfortable for the most part but could definitely do with a little bit of facelift in both the rooms and bathrooms paint, tiles etc... But all in all generally a good place to stay just hasn't changed much in the last 15+ years"

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location was good. Very convenient to walk to Victoria market within 10 mins. Supermarkets and decent food chains were also nearby. However, checking in was bad as my flight arrived in the late evening after the regular office hours. I was left outside with my luggage in the rain even though there were staff at the reception who saw me waving outside the password-guarded glass doors. I was only let in by a guest who was also staying at the hotel."

Next Hotel Melbourne, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"I loved everything about the room especially being able to make the room pitch black. What I didn’t like was the bed had to be remade so that the bed linen came up over my shoulders and the bathroom floor floods while having a shower using the rainfall shower head as there a large gap at the edge of the shower door."
