Atura Dandenong

10/10 Excellent

"Very polite staff and really good buffet breakfast."

Sage Melbourne Ringwood

10/10 Excellent

"Overall very impressed. A modern sleek design, modern furnishings, helpful and friendly service. Room: Modern, bed was very comfortable, cushions were a bit on the softer side. The room was spacious, well laid out and clean. Bathroom: Modern fixings with open plan. I liked that the shower/toilet was seperate, the shower door opened inward so no water over the floor issues. The shower was very spacious, nice toiletries, the water pressure good…however it did run a bit hot cold in the shower. Parking: Simple enough once you found where you needed to go. Probably could do with some better signage out the front Restaurant: I had a $20 voucher with the hotel stay, which got me a simple yet solid coffee and bacon/egg roll. Location: Not really relevant to me I was only staying overnight before transit out of Melbourne, but was adjacent to large shops. The doordash struggled to find it (admittedly it isn't easy). It looked to be a great place for a conference. All in all very happy! Would stay again."
