Top Australia Hotel Reviews

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Is one of the best places to stay in the city . Love the Fullerton can’t wait to go back Staff are fantastic"

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and professional, and the room was clean, comfortable and well presented. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. My only concern was the way my credit card was handled at check-in. My card was photocopied without my permission or any explanation. Given the increasing prevalence of scams, identity theft and data breaches, I found this concerning, as it unnecessarily puts guests’ financial information at risk. When I raised my concerns, the photocopy was returned to me, which I appreciated. I was also surprised that $100 was charged to my card rather than a pre-authorisation hold being placed. As an international guest from New Zealand, this meant I could have been out of pocket due to exchange rate fluctuations when the refund was processed. Most hotels now use pre-authorisations, which protect both the hotel and the guest without creating this issue. This isn’t a criticism of the staff, who were excellent throughout my stay. I simply hope the hotel reviews its credit card security procedures, as a hotel of this size should have more secure payment practices in place. Aside from this concern, I had a very enjoyable stay."

Pan Pacific Perth

8/10 Good

"Mixed experience: Great anniversary touch but let down by noise and service gaps We stayed at the Pan Pacific Perth for our 20th wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, the reception staff gave us a lovely complimentary room upgrade, which we deeply appreciated and made for a great start to our trip. The room itself was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. However, our stay was disrupted by a few notable issues. On Thursday morning, we were woken up by loud, heavy banging from the floor above that lasted for about half an hour, sounding like furniture being moved. We attempted to report this to reception immediately by phone, but the call went unanswered after multiple tries, so we eventually gave up. Additionally, we experienced a minor maintenance issue with the in-room technology. The TV remote control had no functioning volume control. Every time we turned the television on, it would default to zero sound, which became quite frustrating. Overall, the property is clean and the check-in service was highly attentive, but the missed phone calls during a noise disruption and the faulty remote control pulled our experience down to an average stay. It is a good property, but management needs to ensure room electronics are fully checked and that front-desk communication remains responsive to guests in their rooms."
