PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Both liquid soap and body cream containers were empty…very noisy heater when turned on!!! Breakfast was lovely and staff were amazing!"

Atura Dandenong

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t normally write hotel reviews, but I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the generosity and professionalism of the team. Unfortunately, an unexpected incident occurred shortly after we checked in, and we had to leave the property on the very same day. We informed the duty staff, who handled the situation with empathy and professionalism, promptly documenting the incident and assisting us throughout the process. We subsequently requested a refund, which was approved within a few days. While our stay was unexpectedly cut short, we were genuinely grateful for how fairly and compassionately the hotel handled the situation. Their understanding and excellent customer service made a difficult experience much easier, and for that, we are truly thankful."
