Top Eastern Australia Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

8/10 Good
"The property was clean and was in a great location! It was easy for us to walk to the hotel from the bus station. We were able to travel around Melbourne easily from the train station right outside. We also liked how there was a pool, gym and sauna available. There was breakfast available at a cost but the options are few; scrambled eggs, beans, toast with topping options, cereal selection with milk that’s it. The coffee machine was a nice plus. It would have been nice if the breakfast had fresh fruit available. Our biggest concern while on the property was the WiFi internet access. The hotel requires you to accept their terms and you are connected to the WiFi, however, you get logged off often and something it’s randomly while you’re using your device. We had to accept the terms over and over again which was tedious. The hotel should allow you one time access to the WiFi and then your phone is recognized each time you’re in the room and auto connects every time you are on the property, but that was not the case here. As side from the simple breakfast and WiFi/internet connection issue, the stay was great."
