I had wanted to try out the Adelphi for quite some time but baulked at the hefty prices compared to many other hotels in Melbourne. So for a special occasion I booked into a twin room for one night. Upon arrival the receptionist told me that I would be staying in a queen room with a rollaway as they had... more

My husband made the reservation at this hotel based on some reviews he read, plus he pointed out that since it was listed as "very expensive" it must be nice, right? So we get in the cab at the airport, the cabbie has never heard of it. We find the address, maneuver around some back streets and find it in... more

We had been staying in the Hilton which is old and worn to the edge and needed an escape. Luckily the Adelphi where on hand to help. The location is great, the rooms are modern and from what I can tell have been converted to rooms from being offices, which has been done very well. whilst being a 5 star... more

I need to start off by saying that I don't think The Adelphi is everyone's idea of a 5 star hotel but it certainly was for my husband and I! After a tedious start to our holiday caused by flight delays we were so pleased to be warmly welcomed at The Adelphi and found our room to be large, bright... more

I usually stay at the Prince which is looking a little shabby, but the service is excellent and the style is timeless. I think the five star (self) rating of the Adelphi is deceptive. It seems like they haven't spent any money updating the decor in a LONG time. Probably buttoned up accountants think the style is cool, but your... more

I stayed at the Adelphi for a weekend getaway recently and was very impressed overall with the hotel. Having arrived on the red-eye to Melbourne I was relieved when the friendly and efficient receptionist was able to juggle around the bookings so I could get into my room earlier instead of having to wait for the normal afternoon checkin. The... more

My boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a stay in a 5 star hotel for the final leg of our holiday in Australia. We we're excited by reviews we read about the Adelphi and by the fact that it had a 5 star rating. Sadly we failed to notice that it was in fact 'self-rated' 5 star rather... more

I stayed at the Adelphi last year and liked it enough, so was surprised to see the generally poor recent reviews on this site. Anyway, game for a laugh, I booked myself in there for 3 nights. I was in Melbourne on business. I thought the place was just fine: sure, it's not a classic, beige, neutral hotel. If that's... more

This used to be a much admired and photographed hotel, but nearly 20 years after Phillippe Stark had a hand in the interiors it just looks dated. Heart sank as I entered the room and had plenty of time during the night to rue my choice as the room was lit up like a photographer's lightbox thanks to flimsy white... more
