Top Emerald Hotel Reviews

Novotel Melbourne Glen Waverley

8/10 Good

"The check-in was seamless. The staff at the reception was extremely helpful. The hotel is next door to all the Asian eateries which was ideal was us."

Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This would have to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in. We were met on arrival with the feeling that we were 'expected and welcome'. During our stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was light, airy, well-conditioned and scurrilously clean. We will be definitely returning to this lovely hotel."

Chateau Yering Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious and lovely, comfortable bed and enough light coming in. Comfortable sofa and chairs. Also a nice little treat in the form of 2 small kitkats and packet of chips. A friendly touch. Beautiful old world hotel but unfortunately the pool is not in action and the tennis court is dilapidated! We nevertheless had fun playing on it. Beautiful big sunny room for breakfast there. They have a library with games and some books and magazines for entertainment. There were only 2 stations however that the television would pick up ABC and SBS. So the antenna needs some work."

Atura Dandenong

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t normally write hotel reviews, but I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the generosity and professionalism of the team. Unfortunately, an unexpected incident occurred shortly after we checked in, and we had to leave the property on the very same day. We informed the duty staff, who handled the situation with empathy and professionalism, promptly documenting the incident and assisting us throughout the process. We subsequently requested a refund, which was approved within a few days. While our stay was unexpectedly cut short, we were genuinely grateful for how fairly and compassionately the hotel handled the situation. Their understanding and excellent customer service made a difficult experience much easier, and for that, we are truly thankful."
