Game Set Match

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.

I can't fault my stay here. The location was perfect for my needs. Shipping and dining options were plenty. As for the hotel itself, the staff were incredible, the room immaculate and the bed so comfy I wish I had a late check-out because I didn't want to get up. I can't wait for my next stay here

A very nice hotel located near Chinatown. The room was beautiful and clean. Sections are under renovation, but it's not a huge deal. The staff was super helpful and recommended a nearby doctor when I got sick.

A forgettable experience

Lengthy check in and check out , primary lifts not working upgrading ?had to walk through fire doors and fire corridors to access alternate lifts. Reaching floor again needed to go through fire door into another area to reach my room . Carpet outside room had a foul smell ,room was very basic . No air conditioning in bar area only fans .
