Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne
Overall a nice place to stay, staff are very accommodating and friendly. Only downside was the Spencer street view which wasn’t really worth it. Would happily stay again though.

I have stayed here a number of times now. I mostly like it’s central location on the main tram routes: CBD / St Kilda - Prahran are all relatively close by. The accomodation is a great standard for the price and the staff are very welcoming and professional.
