Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

6/10 Okay

"Air Con too high- room was cold Front desk needs more staff @ 2pm check in time- process was very slow including pick up of bag from luggage room Also, reception staff had no knowledge (&no interest) in providing local amenities knowledge. And the “$100@ security fee is offensive! "

Dorsett Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay once again, nice hotel decor, staff very friendly at check-in, but check out staff was average as didn’t ask how my stay was, etc. There was also a staff on L2 asking if I was ‘staying at the hotel’ which I find highly unusual and very mtrusive (as if to say that I not a quest and shouldn’t be there) despite me dressing in smart casual and sitting on the sofa with a laptop working! How very odd indeed. But checkin staff was super helpful and friendly (I think she’s French and she was wearing glasses I forgot to ask her name unfortunately). The other unfriendly staff were both Asians and both with glasses too). "
