There was renovation work going on in the Property. The entrance to the Hotel was through the back and the carpets were smelly. Being on the 6th floor could hear loud noise. The room was clean but decor inside was old and closet space small and no safe to secure important documents. Its centrally located thats the only thing which we liked about the property.

Not the most appealing looking entry and reception but room was very clean and well equipped with everything needed, like hairdryer, iron, kettle, shower wash shampoo conditioner etc. nice checkout time at 11am. Can leave bags on checkout if flying out late was greatly appreciated. I’d stay here again. Thanks.

A perfect place to stay in Melbourne and within walking distance to the Aus Open. Great, friendly service from all the hotel team we encountered. Loads of great eating places nearby too! Paid valet parking right next door looked after our car which was not needed as everything is within walking distance … or catch a tram/bus if you need to go out further afield. Would definitely recommend staying at Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne.
