Top Old Melbourne Gaol Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay. Close to Southern Cross Station and public transport."

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in an executive King room for 3 nights. The room was clean, spacious quiet with excellent amenities including a kitchenette. Location was great, walking distance to the CBD and close to tram stations, theatre, restaurants. The breakfast buffet was very good. We would stay here again when next in Melbourne."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Very professional and comfortable"

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot for a solo staycation! Friendly staff, great amenities, great location."

The Langham, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great view, classic charm, and excellent service! I had a lovely and relaxing stay. The room featured a deep bathtub, crisp clean linens, blackout curtains, and a pleasant river view. Staff service was excellent—the receptionist thoroughly followed up on my booking’s F&B credit, and I was grateful for early check-in and a 1:00 PM late check-out. The breakfast buffet was solid, especially the fresh omelets and miso soup. The wellness facilities were a highlight: the jacuzzi had a great view with nice water jets, and there were complimentary teas and hydration stations in the pool/sauna area. Note that the pool has a glass roof, so visiting in the early morning or late afternoon is ideal to avoid direct sunlight. The property shows its age slightly, but the public spaces have a wonderful, timeless classic style. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Well maintained, in a good location of the town."

Melbourne Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, staff were very friendly and helpful"

ibis Melbourne Central

8/10 Good

"Love the water refill station, keeps me hydrated while walking around the CBD. Shopping mall is close. About a 10 min walk depending how fast you walk haha. Loved the breakfast Buffett, love my OJ. Vegetarian and vegan options. I wish there were strawberries for breakfast. All my 5 mornings didn’t have it available, something minor but I would’ve loved breakfast even more. I had a vegan Mediterranean pasta for dinner. Delicious. I had a 5 other friends that went to the hotel and we were discussing about the beds. Clean, but the beds were harder than I’m used to. People who prefer softer beds would not be a fan of these beds. Staff made check in easy, I landed around 11pm and head to the hotel right before midnight. There was one worker by himself helping a couple of guests. I was still in line and a 2nd worker came through and helped me. I appreciate that. Thank you for having me at your hotel. This was my 1st time in AUS and I’m already wanting to come back. See you guys next year! -Royce"
