Top Emerald Hotel Reviews

Quest Glen Waverley

10/10 Excellent

"The place is spotless, you always feel like a VIP, it's comfortable and they do their very best to take care of all your needs. It's also one of the few apartments that offers daily servicing. Will always stay here"

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."
