Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located in the perfect spot. It’s right adjacent to the Queen Victoria markets and short walk from all the main shopping centers. It’s located in a relatively more quiet spot, which is easy access for Ubers and I feel quite safe. The reception have always been friendly and I’ve never had any issues and the rooms are quite clean. This is the only hotel I booked when I travel to Melbourne."

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely first time stay at Rydges. If you are headed to Her Majesty’s Theatre, this is the perfect place to stay and best of all it’s just next to Chinatown. Everything was simply amazing including the breakfast. Only small letdowns are; 1) The Pool is just way too small for my liking 2) No Bathrobes nor Indoor Slippers. I’m a little surprised. But overall still an amazing and convenient place to stay in the City and it’s practically near the Parliament Metro too."

W Melbourne

8/10 Good

"The decor is gorgeous and the staff are super helpful. The restaurant and in room dining is also exceptional I must say. The gym also has a good amount of equipment for a good work out and the pool is 20m I think, maybe even 25m, which is great for getting a good swim also. The main downsides are the aircon which is subtle and takes some hours to get going so if it's really hot and you're expecting a room that cools down quickly you'll be sorely dissapointed. Everything else was good especially location wise too."
