I had a fabulous stay at the Grand Chancellor Hotel Melbourne. The room was spotless and very well maintained, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the service was truly exceptional. Staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne.

I didn't have a chance to try breakfast so can't comment. The room was clean and bed very comfortable, nice modern/updated bathroom with rain shower, however you wouldn't want to be taller than 6ft otherwise you wouldn't fit under the shower. There was a very loud hum from the airconditioner on & off throughout the night and due to the proximity of the building next door, my allocated room had very little natural light.

The staff were really helpful, the room was lovely, the breakfast was great and the beds comfortable. Our only problem was that there was only 1 lift running due to construction. It was only really a problem on our last morning, when we were trying to get down to breakfast, and the lift was bypassing us, then really full and we had to wait 20 minutes before just cramming into a really full lift, as we'd already waited for another full lift to go past.

Room very clean, great Brekky however, only one available lift which was insufficient due to number of guests. Very long waits. Also pool wasn’t available due to works being undertaken. Once these issues sorted, it will be amazing, great central location & would recommend.

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff on at checkin were wonderful. There is a balcony but only enough room for the AC, no chair or table and the building seems tired like it could do with a coat of paint. No cutlery or crockery in the room other than glasses, mugs and teaspoons and the the lift is very very slow not so great when you’re on the top floor, although I do believe an upgrade is on the way.
