Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

The Langham, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with old World charm. Lovely location on South Bank. We ordered room service breakfast and it was amazing! Good service overall. I woukd stay here again."

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location. Breakfast was very average but okay for $20 Room was a good size. Rebooked a family room and selected king and two singles but got two kings. A bit annoying as we have adult brother and sister but couldn’t be bothered asking to change Extremely busy at check in. Bathroom not great only a sink no vanity or anywhere to put clean clothes Shower pressure terrible. For the cheapest stay that isn’t a hostel it was fine for one night"

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I enjoyed a memorable stay here at the Hyatt. All staff, from Bellhop to Reception, were professional and courteous, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room (Riverview) was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The view out across the River Yarra, Arts center, and MCG was amazing, especially so at night. A thoroughly enjoyable stay; thank you Hyatt. We will return."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived at 1am and had no problem checking in. The guy at the desk was quick and efficient and we were able to sleep within a few minutes of arrival. The area around the hotel has lots of cafes and restaurants, and a wide variety of cuisines. It's about a minute walk to Southern Cross Station."
