Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

Location

Room is not sound proof. You can hear people talking in another room.

The Location was excellent!

We approached One of the Male staff at the reception desk On the evening we arrived to ask about a place to purchase dinner within walking distance of the Hotel and were to that we should go for a walk and find somewhere ourselves. He did not suggest a direction or give any other information. He then said that most people just get Uber eats. We had to ask for the bins in our room to be emptied when this had not been done for 2 days. The toilet was faulty and kept filling noisily constantly. Our coffee/ tea cups were not cleaned/ replaced. We had to wash them ourselves to have anything to drink from. Breakfast food options were very limited.

Falls short, even for a budget hotel

The location is great if you just need a place to crash in the CBD or near Southern Cross station (a 5 minute walk down Spencer St). Staff seemed friendly enough. Rooms were well laid out, in a typical budget hotel style.

Falls short, even for a budget hotel. A good, low-price hotel should still have a fresh modern feel, and have working/available amenities. Unfortunately, Atlantis doesn't currently offer this. The air con in our room was "working", but ultimately useless. Lowered the temperature in the room by 1 degree after 10 hours of use, even on maximum cooling setting. Most of the rooms in the hotel face west, so the hot afternoon sun in Melbourne is a killer without good air con. Grout in the bathroom needs re-doing. Nowhere to hang your towel so that it dries overnight. Ironing board, but no iron? Mattress fine, although certainly nothing to write home about. Pillows bad - only one per person. At least a couple of spare pillows in the wardrobe really not that hard to do.
