Top Yarra Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

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

Brady Apartment Hotel Flinders Street

8/10 Good

"Clean , small gym and pool on 15th floor that was often empty ! , although pool was supposed to be heated it was quite cool , erratic room cleaning times often ment not getting done , room view wasn't great overlooking heating vents , rooms were pretty clean with plenty of space, shower had low pressure , but overall was OK, certainly not a 4 star , area ok , close to everywhere really. Good enough at the right price but don't pay 4 star prices !"

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!"

Mercure Melbourne Southbank

8/10 Good

"Everything about this place is fantastic except for the toilets. They just didn't work very well and refused to flush anything down with less than four flushes. The reservoir refilled so slowly that it takes a Bluey episode to get all four flushes done, and floaters were near impossible for the toilets to handle."
