Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Was over for the footy. Great location for going to Marvel. Staff helpful and could check me in early."

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but showed lots of wear. Worn out and holes in the carpet. The biggest complaint was finding the window to the room which overlooks an alley was stuck open and the crank didn't work, additionally the window did not have a screen. Staff was able to come and fix the window. The water smelled incredibly sulfurous. Overall found it acceptable for the price and location."
