Top National Museum of Australia Hotel Reviews

Deco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 night’s. Our room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the balcony space. The bar, buffet breakfast and restaurant for dinner were excellent. The staff at the bar and restaurant were nice. It was a great location with the light rail a short walk away. Parking was easily accessible. The lifts worked quickly. The majority of the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in was quick and the staff member was so friendly. On checkout there was a delay with charges to the room. We took the offer of the $10 per day to forgo house keeping. Which in total was $30. Felt like we had to argue our case to have that deducted from our bill. Overall I would stay again as this was a minor issue and next time I would pay for meals and drinks and not add them to the room account."
