Terrible experience already - checked in 15 mins ago intending to stay for a week but received a call saying I had to be back in Brisbane urgently in 3 days time. The unhelpful manager would not allow us to cancel our booking for the rest of the days as apparently we received a "non-refundable" rate. Now that I am... More

I stayed at the Grand Chancellor for three nights on a business trip. The room was comfortable, but the decor throughout the hotel was dated (particularly in the bathroom). The Grand Chancellor is in a good location in the Melbourne CBD. The Staff at reception were efficient and friendly and the buffet breakfast was decent. As a three star hotel... More

A single night stay only thank goodness - this is definitely not a 4star hotel standard. Street location was central but on a smelly road...steps up and no concierge to help with bags. Tired entrance way and tired looking receptionist who did fine but nothing more. Past the 1980s, sad looking breakfast room and upto my room...faced out to a... More

Booked through Wotif and got a discounted rate for a standard room. Yes, it was not very modern, but old carpet doesn't matter to me. I don't go on holidays to stay in my hotel room. It was clean, the bathroom was clean, and the bed was good too. The best feature about the hotel was the rooftop pool! We... More

I stayed with a friend overnight and it suited our purposes very well! Upon arrival we were given a complimentary upgrade from the executive to a superior bedroom. Large and spacious. They had some problems with water and unfortunately our toilet would not flush - but the staff were quick to respond to this problem, and we were given another... More

After a last minute invite to the AFL Grand Final for a corporate event, I didn't expect much at all, but it was a pleasant experience. Despite being busy, the check in staff were excellent and helpful. Location was fantastic, and the room was a good size with an area to work in and a small balcony to grab some... More

Hotel advertised as 4-4.5 star and at $200 pn expected much more than was experienced. Rooms shabby in need of repainting, bathroom fittings poor and in some cases missing, constant noise from air ducts and wireless internet was not working ( even at 77c per minute - over $40 per hour). Had a fire alarm first night which was poorly... More

We were a little concerned prior to arriving as I had read several negative reviews on the way. Hotel grand chancellor is rated as a 4 star hotel and although I definitely would say its on the bottom end of 4 star hotels it in no way was as bad as some reviews stated. The staff were friendly enough, the... More

We booked a few nights in this hotel because we found a special offer online. We wanted to stay in a hotel with a swimming pool however the weather was bad and we didn't use it (shame it was too cold to jump in - swimming pool on the roof was quite nice). Hotel has great location - in the... More

Discounted rate from Wotif (would have been furious if I had paid more). Very dingy room, paintwork covered in scuff marks and scratches, tiles chipped. Bed was two singles pushed together, one was 3 inches lower than the other. Terrible to sleep on! Next morning there was no hot water, reception staff came to room and ran all taps (bath,... More
