Such a cosy comfortable suite to stay in, almost felt like I was at home. Defs recommend and love to stay again soon. My one downfall I had was no water in the fridge, when you pay for a suite it’s what you would atleast expect to have in a fridge or mini bar.

I stayed at the AC Hotel Melbourne for 4 nights, and it was an amazing experience. The staff were calm, friendly, and very welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was also really good. The location is very convenient, close to DFO, train stations, and only about 8 minutes from the beach, and close to the Museum and Exhibition. There are also plenty of stores nearby, which made everything easy for us. I’m really happy I chose AC Hotel for our stay. We truly enjoyed our vacation in Melbourne and would definitely recommend it!
