Top Australia Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

10/10 Excellent
"Front desk were amazing, Joan in particular. Beds really comfortable and room good size. There is a step up into the shower (about 15cm) which means it's not ideal for tall people or those who struggle with steps. The hot water and pressure were fantastic though."
