Top Melbourne Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a brilliant place to stay and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location is ideal, offering easy access while still feeling like a peaceful escape. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well presented, with stunning views that really make the stay special. Everything feels well-kept and thoughtfully arranged, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and added to the overall experience with their warm and helpful service. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay and one I would happily recommend. Thank you 💛MICHELLE"

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

4/10 Poor

"This place is falling apart. The location is good, with an IGA, tram stop and station at the door; and it has great views towards the CBD. The size of the room is great. But the place itself is basically at the level of international student accommodation and gig worker haunt, meaning it has been treated like crap for years - it’s dorm room levels of quality. A notch above backpackers, far, far, far below hotels. The hallways stink, there are endless marks on the walls & carpet; the cabinet in the bathroom was barely hanging into its hinges, the shower-over-bath had chips in the tub and the chain winder for the blinds was so stripped of gears that they didn’t even bother attaching the chain any longer. Opening the blinds was a miracle. We booked it for the washing machine/dryer combo, but even that was terrible - inside the machine was filthy with lint and debris, it threw errors and didn’t dry our clothes properly, leaving them stinking and needing to be rewashed elsewhere. Oaks Flemington could be wonderful and the price was decent, but it’s clearly been left to rot. If you’re okay with staying in a dive or student accommodation, it’ll fit you perfectly. If you’re a working professional or seek quality - look elsewhere."

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Our recent holiday at the Stamford Plaza Melbourne CBD was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. It provided the perfect base for an unforgettable city escape.Why We Loved ItPerfect Location: Right in the CBD, making it incredibly easy to walk to top restaurants, vibrant theatres, and luxury shopping alleys.Spacious Suites: The room felt like a private apartment, featuring a generous living area, remarkably comfortable beds, and crystal-clean amenities."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and quite spacious. Love that we could open windows and had a little balcony. Room temp control was a bit temperamental but eventually managed to turn aircon off. Breakfast was great with lots of hot/cold options and a decent coffee machine. Evacuation added some excitement to the stay late at night. Had to wait outside while fireys investigated - seems it was a wiring issue."

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Location is brilliant - just across the road from the Southern Cross Station where Skybus provides express passage to/from the airport. Also lots of food options, convenience stores and shopping nearby. Checking in/out was a breeze and the staff (including housekeeping) always helpful. We are grateful for a small grace period given to check out a wee bit later. Facilities - we didn’t use but a more than adequate gym and a decent swimming pool. Room was quiet, clean, spacious and comfortable. Basic amenities were there together with a good refrigerator, great smart TV and in-room safe. My only gripe was the bit of morning light seeping in from the sides of the roller blinds. But that’s me - I tend to wake up late. Thanks, Atlantis!"
