Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

The Lane House

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, great style, incredibly new. No onsite restaurant but the pool and gym facilities were amazing. Only downside is cleaning staff - they were inconsistent and not attentive in doing the daily cleaning. Otherwise this place was stellar"

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location we walked everywhere, the place was comfortable but not sound proofed so you hear the doors opening and shutting all the time. Found some things missing like there was an ironing board but no iron. Reception was slow, even if no guests infront of them but appreciate them looking after our bags when we arrived early."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, and it really is a great hotel to stay in. The room was clean and comfortable with good restaurant options and hotel staff were very accommodating. The only issue I had was in respect of the bathroom, with the shower drain possibly being blocked and there was no proper shower door which meant water went all over the floor."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"US travelers, Meriton Suites Melbourne far exceeded my expectations. As a lifetime platform elite member of Marriott, Meriton suite provides superb rooms with full kitchen and laundry units at 1/2 the price of a good Marriott hotel room. It is an apartment hotel, so room cleaning is every 4 th day."
