10/10 Excellent

"Need more coffee and a bigger garbage can"

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

6/10 Okay

"Friendly and helpful staff and the rooms are always clean and neat. The only negative comment about my recent stay was I paid for an “accessible” room, as I need the larger bathroom to move easily and safely, but was given a standard small room. But it’s been perfect always apart from that one error. "
