Top Government House Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great position especially if you are Southern Cross Station. Staff were very friendly and breakfast enjoyable!"

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at the Victoria several times with no complaints, but this time I was disappointed, the bed was uncomfortable and there was an absolutely disgusting odour in the bathroom. Then an altercation with a staff member who did not want to honour a discount which was offered when eating at the restaurant, he was rude and condescending."

Hannah St Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, unique and well maintained hotel. Staff very friendly, breakfast and dinner delicious, and facilities excellent. Love the fact it has unique design touches and the room was spacious and well appointed. Highly recommend."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"All good. The pictures are like the room"

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Good rooms and great helpful staff"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Everything good - only negative was that room was a bit too warm and space between shower and wall for the toilet was a bit ‘cosy’."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Southbank by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location and easy to get to everything we wanted to do. Breakfast was good. The beds a tad firm for my taste. If you are not comfortable with your travel partner the bathroom arrangement is not my favourite: frosted glass, inch of open space, no sound proofing."

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Over all Good"

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location in the heart of the CBD with easy access to transport options. I stay regularly for work and the rooms are always clean and tidy and check-in is easy. My last stay, the hairdryer was broken and there was no conditioner in the shower, but otherwise it was a comfortable stay."
