Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I love staying at the Atlantis. Close to station for food and shopping. All workers are very friendly every time we have stayed. 🙌"

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

4/10 Poor

"I don’t recommend this hotel . First when we came staff at reception area are not helpful and like they are not happy to serve any guest. No one even welcome you.staff are rude even managers except of 2 employees try to help us. We request for make up room and on the 2nd day we even left at 7am and no one clean the room, rubbish bins not emptied and toilet paper no refill.We stay there for 5 nights and only the last day they did vacuum as I went back again to reception and ask to vacuum the floors. No towels at pool area, we have to go down to reception again to ask for towels. I would say it was really terrible experience. We stayed last year at Pullman/Mercure but I would say staying there is far better. With the price is the same from the time I book. I just want to try new hotel."

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Room was good, but the couch was stained. Great shower. Great reception staff. Probably, the worst buffet breakfast and buffet staff. Ran out of bread, coffee machine not working, out of juices, no spoons, out of milk, out of butter it actually was funny (7th June) When I approached staff and asked about re-fill I was referred to three different people. Finally, I got hold of the manager and at least the bread for toast finally was fixed as was the coffee machine. Everything else...no. I told her it was the worst breakfast of all time and terribly managed. As I travel frequently and stay in 5-star hotels this was a joke. Ice cream sticks for stirrers, PFD sugar sachets no mugs for tea just not even 3 stars come on people do better not that hard. Should be giving at least 2 free bottles of water in suites but had to pay $5.00. Despite this I have the best curry puffs ever when I ordered room service absolutely delicious. A mix bag of good and bad in this very dated hotel."
