Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"My wife any myself spent 4 days in Melbourne to see a Couple of Live Shows and it was great having the Hotel Grand Chancellor to return back to after a busy Day. We were certainly very please with our Accommodation. Thank you"

ibis Melbourne Central

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here a few times for work and the place is close to everything. Some of the rooms have a weird layout, but they are always clean and tidy. They only had self-serve check-in and the first machine I used didn't work and it was a bit annoying to have to enter my info twice, but otherwise it was a great stay."

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location in the heart of the CBD with easy access to transport options. I stay regularly for work and the rooms are always clean and tidy and check-in is easy. My last stay, the hairdryer was broken and there was no conditioner in the shower, but otherwise it was a comfortable stay."

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed overnight to see a show at Her Majesties theatre. Walking distance to hotel is why we initially booked our stay. We were both extremely happy with our stay. Front staff were very friendly and it took just moments to get us checked in. Room was beyond our expectations. Clean , modern , spacious. We took advantage of pre theatre menu at Bossley restaurant on site and had a very enjoyable meal on a relaxing atmosphere. Late checkout in morning was very appreciated after a late night. We will definately stay again. Thank You Ridges Hotel Melbourne."
