Melbourne Hotel Review: Atlantis Hotel Melbourne, 300 Spencer St

[@RoryDing]

If this review gets over 1.5K views in the next 24hrs, you’ll see a hotel review in Sydney, Merimbula, Mildura, Alice Springs, Armidale, Mount Isa, Cairns and many more to come 😊

[@BeyondNegativeOfficial]

@RoryDing Travels Can you do Mildura?

[@broniingram1112]

If you book direct with the hotel, they include breakfast in the price.

[@RoryDing]

I had their breakfast once in December 2020, it was dreadful 🤭 Did they improve?

[@BinkBricks]

That price is amazing! If I ever go to Melbourne then I will try and book this hotel. Near a supermarket, the main station, and even a tram on 3 routes is phenomenal for the price, also thank you for teaching me the routes, I know nothing about Melbourne transport. I do like the idea of hotel reviews and please do more.

[@kippen64]

More hotel reviews please. Especially in regional areas. Your review has been seriously considering this hotel as an option.

[@RoryDing]

Will do! This video has already reached 1k views, more are coming 😊

[@tigergooner7214]

We're coming over to this hotel in May can't wait 😊​@RoryDing

[@aussiejohn5835]

Thank you Rory for this excellent hotel review. I think this hotel ticks all the boxes for me, especially for the location. The cost was a surprise to me and I will definitely consider this for my next visit to Melbourne. A review of your hotel each time you visit a new location with a stopover, would be very much appreciated.

[@MitchellBPYao]

How much is it for 4 nights

[@aussiejohn5835]

@@MitchellBPYao the normal practice would be 4 times the daily rate and in high-rise hotels the higher floors are charged at a higher rate.

[@RoryDing]

Yes it’s around $310-360

[@RoryDing]

I’ll try to make that happen, but I’m usually exhausted after filming a flight or train review 😂 when I get to the hotel I just wanna be horizontal

[@FlywithBailey]

Great review, Rory! I hope more are coming soon. It’s great not only to see the journey to the destination but also the accommodation at that destination as well. In the rural destinations you visit if you’re staying overnight, that would be interesting to see the accommodation.

[@RoryDing]

Yes you’ll see more coming 😊 Especially rural destinations!

[@guyh9992]

I have stayed there many times since 2015 largely because it is inexpensive and easy to park being just off the motorway from the airport which joins up with the ring road and the Hume Highway going north. It would be interesting to see your preferred hotels in other cities like Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.

[@RoryDing]

I haven’t really found a preferred hotel in other cities yet! But the Atlantis is definitely my favourite in Melbourne!

[@blueyonder1233]

Great first hotel room review. You can clearly see your travel experience. If you could keep in mind for future reviews the sound proofing of the room (noise from within & outside of the hotel, such as noise from other rooms, corridors, doors closing & traffic, transport.), adequacy of the lighting & switch placement & are laundry facilities available for travellers staying for extended periods. Look forward to many more accommodation reviews as you continue to review transport options.

[@RoryDing]

Thank you for your advice. I’ll keep that in mind 😊

[@mynameisvinnie26]

Love your travel reviews and excited for more hotel ones! It’s only really an ‘excellent location’ if you want to be near southern cross, coming from the skybus (airport) or regional train lines. Otherwise the docklands side of the city is a bit of a hole .. it’s the same reason there’s always plenty of cheap Airbnb’s along spencer street

[@hazptmedia]

Hmmmmm hotel reviews! Also if you are in Melbourne today there is a steam train

[@RoryDing]

No I’m in Adelaide unfortunately 😅

[@hazptmedia]

@@RoryDing oh ok

[@ryansofly]

This has been one of my choices when I do my trips. But I normally find hotels with double QF points! So I always end up at Radisson On Flagstaff, the next step up.

[@brilliantbutblue]

Hopefully lm one of the 1.5k views that get us more Hotel reviews and as others mentioned regional areas accommodation reviews would be awesome. Happy Sunday Rory🌞

[@RoryDing]

I think this video will reach 1.5K by tomorrow 😬

[@RocharVot]

Thanks for sharing your hotel reviews. I believe the No . 35 tram (City Circle) is free of charge and geared to tourists.

[@lusimyer]

Yes its free and aimed at tourists but locals use it too.

[@jrb12487]

Another tip for a review, if you're ever in Sydney, go stay at the Ultimo. It's a nice old building that's been renovated - I've stayed in a Queen, King and Studio (The studio was a free upgrade, which also happened to be the first time I stayed there ever). You don't have to pay until you arrive, and the beds are super comfy. It's convenient if you're travelling by train (hop off at central station and catch the light rail to either Capital Square or Paddy's Markets, and then it's about a 3-5 minute walk from either stop. Also, another place I recommend, if you're traveling around, is the Adelaide Riviera Hotel on North Terrace and Abbey on Roma in Brisbane. Both affordable and close to public transport.

[@LczVfx]

Love the vids man u deserve much more

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Rory. Sounds like really good value for the price. When I stay in Melbourne, wherever possible I book at The Savoy on Little Collins. It's a hotel that is built in the Art Deco style, and when first built, was the first hotel in Melbourne ( possibly Australia) that bathrooms and toilets in each room. Come out of Southern Cross on Spencer Street , and look right. You will see it. It is more expensive than Atlanta. But if you can get a room overlooking Spencer Street, it's worth it.

[@RoryDing]

Yep I might give it a go the next time I visit Melbourne Thank you 😊

[@mrhysteria7556]

Good review quick look at pool/gym would be great also.

[@annabanana16465]

thanks Rory great review, I love your videos

[@mattlugg1185]

Great review Rory, I for one hope it gets to 1.5k in 24 hours.

[@RoryDing]

I think it will 😊 So there will be More reviews coming in the future

[@paulvirgona4901]

I love Atlantis because it’s so close to Southern Cross Station. It makes for a very convenient early morning departure for the Adelaide and Sydney trains, as well as the Skybus. And its so affordable and comfortable.

[@RoryDing]

Exactly!

[@indranibd85]

Can you do brisbane Hotel review

[@magpie1862]

I personally like Rydges Melbourne but that’s all the way on Exhibition St. You can get the train from Southern Cross to Parliament and then you’re pretty much at the hotel. I think the price may have gone up with the NZ travel bubble opening but I got it at $109 a night. Room is massive and has a bath which is nice considering the bitterly cold weather of Melbourne.

[@MitchellBPYao]

I stayed at Mercure

[@RoryDing]

Sounds good, I might give it a go next time 😊

[@2010morex]

More hotel reviews please! 😊

[@sylvaniansdownunder]

Thank you for sharing, I never paid any attention to this hotel previously. I would love to see a hotel review in Melbourne that's catered for a family (2 adults 2 children)

[@thepoliticalloser]

Are you going to travel to New Zealand due to the recent travel bubble announcement? Also, are you going to review Air New Zealand?

[@RoryDing]

Planning to go in November And not their business class cuz it looks horrible😂

[@andrewsmith2404]

Just as great as your airline reviews mate.

[@hmaccas738]

This is good can you do more hotel reviews and maybe some food reviews.

[@gavinmeyers2522]

i stayed here about 5 years ago very nice place

[@jalbu8330]

Great review looks like a great hotel with a great price.

[@wade2922]

Thanks, staying here in October

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Rory. I watched this video last year when it first came out. Now next month, I am gonna stay there. I dunno if it's because of the footy finals season, but room prices have gone up a bit . I have booked 2 basic queen rooms for 3 nights, and it's just under $700. I think around $110 per room, per night.

[@RoryDing]

Hi Heathe! Yes the price has gone up a bit, but I think it still offers great value compare to similar accomodations nearby. 😊

[@heathertruskinger6214]

@@RoryDing I will let you know when we get back 😂

[@KEEGZ90..]

Thank you so much for this review I'm goin to Melbourne for ay week in 4 days and after watching this review I've booked in for ay week at this motel ✌ thank you your vids are awesome

[@RoryDing]

Enjoy your stay 😁hopefully you get a room on the high floors

[@djackmanson]

Under $100 a night for a CBD room is amazing nowadays! I miss when Tune Hotel existed in Melbourne. Thank you for the thorough review. One thing I'd be keen to know if you do more hotel reviews is: Do they take a room deposit? If so, how soon after you check out are the funds released back to your bank account? Thanks again, this was a good, quick summary of the sort of place I'd be likely to stay in.

[@djackmanson]

Also, after checking their booking site, the price does go up to the $150 a night range on weekends. Unsurprising, as they would be their busiest times, I'd guess.

[@RoryDing]

Their price usually drops when the date gets closer, you just need to check regularly! And no they don’t take room deposit! They just take a photo copy of your card!

[@djackmanson]

@@RoryDing Oh that's great about the deposit! I can understand them wanting the card details as some sort of security so that'd be totally fine. And yeah I browsed their booking site and their weekday rate for rooms, even two months ahead, was under $100 a night. And I was very pleased to see they listed wheelchair accessible rooms on their site - I use a mobility scooter so knowing what's available without having to call or email is great

[@desafinado74]

You should have tried the new W Melbourne hotel :)

[@jameshsuan-yiwu1659]

Very nice videos. Can you introduce Broken Hill line soon?

[@RoryDing]

I’ll have to see if I have time in the future 😊

[@jrb12487]

Have stayed here a number of times - very convenient if travelling by train. However I think now if you go through booking.com you have to pay a deposit which is the cost of one night - normally used to pay the whole rate on arrival. Either way, I'm planning on staying there when I go to Melbourne in late November.

[@robertbarnier45]

Very good Rory. Thanks. Aussie Bob

[@mylittlespacefang4883]

Was this place noisy during the night as it is located near the southern cross train station?

[@christophermoore753]

Looks neat and tidy good choice

[@honourablej1055]

sometimes if you dont book direct with hotels they give you actually lower flloor rooms!

[@snoopy13946]

Is it quiet when the room faces the street and tram?

[@RoryDing]

I could hear the trams but it never bothered me. If you want absolute quietness I think you can request a room facing the city.

[@MitchellBPYao]

It's opposite Southern Cross Inect time I stay there but long walk to the square

[@hmaccas738]

Can you do a review of the Manly Ferry and hotels around Manly, I think there is one opposite the Manly Ferry terminal.

[@MitchellBPYao]

Anyone here is stupid to stay overnight in the city when they got a house here

[@benos4x4adventures49]

Where is the pool?

[@vickimills459]

Rory, can you please do a hotel review in Cairns. Must be near the centre with reasonable prices .

[@RoryDing]

Yes I have booked a place in cairns city centre It’ll come out in July. I’ve stayed at Jack backpackers in Cairns before, it’s in the city, price was good, parkings included and the private room was big and clean. You also get discount when you drink or dine at its pub. The food was delish too!

[@vickimills459]

Thanks Rory. Just to let you know I'm a senior but still loves to travel by train .

[@janansatkunanathan5536]

It was good to have bumped into you at the Atlantis

[@samalaleckie]

can u do a hotel review in bathurst plz

[@RoryDing]

If I go to Bathurst one day I will! 😊

[@arokh72]

You have to pay for parking on top of paying for the room? In that case, they can get stuffed. Anyway I'd like you to do a hotel review in Bathurst, there are many options, though Rydges is beside the track and may have a stronger appeal for fans of the channel IMO. Of course just add it to the flight and train idea I had for Bathurst haha :P

[@RoryDing]

Hahaha sure we’ll see 😊

[@buggs4987]

Can you please try Southport, dandar

[@RoryDing]

One day maybe, I’m not planning to stay overnight in Gold Coast anytime soon

[@babelesz]

do one in alice springs

[@RoryDing]

June!

[@BeyondNegativeOfficial]

WOAH DID U SAID MY HOME TOWN?

[@ArunPrasathh]

Did anyone stay in this room with 3 people?

[@TheLordblackader]

Good price for Melbourne but that is not four star standard.

[@ptrs559]

Is there a bar in this hotel?

[@RoryDing]

No I don’t think so

[@InfiniteminuteDaniel]

_”Atlantis Hotel”_

[@BeyondNegativeOfficial]

There is only 1 hotel in Mildura which is a 3 or 2 Star hotel

[@RoryDing]

Really? I’m sure there are a dozen on Booking.com! I’ve already booked one! 😀

[@BeyondNegativeOfficial]

Yay :)

[@rediscoverloz]

I actually had a not great experience at this hotel. Although it was close to everything, and great access to tram stops..... there was a lot lacking. I was there for a week in May 2022. I spent 7 nights, and my bathroom was not cleaned once..... I believe unacceptable in Covid times. Actually my room was not cleaned my whole stary. My room also did not have an outside window, my window faced to a hall. I was also only given 1 roll of toilet paper for my stay. I would rate this hotel 1/5

[@Muzza1991]

Oh wow it would have been cool to bump into you and say hello as I stayed at the Atlantis hotel the same day as you. I had a stop over in Melbourne for the night as I came from Adelaide and headed to Sydney on the Xpt train the next day

[@RoryDing]

Someone did recognise me while I was in the lift haha Seems like a lot of my subscribers already choose to stay at Atlantis 😃

[@Muzza1991]

@@RoryDing I found it on booking.com and because I’m a member I get discount . It looked good to me . Happy I stayed there
