I stayed this hotel during the Australian Open period for 4 nights and the hotel has definitely charging way more than they should for what they are offering. The easiest way to describe this place would be using the bullet points. The good things * Very central location * Comfortable beds * Neat and good house keeping The bad things... More

3+ stars, mostly for location. If you can get a deal, then worth staying here, because it's quite central to everything. The bed is really comfortable and the room large. However, the decor is modern and stark. There's no warmth to it at all. The bathroom is confusing. The shower is open (why this trend?) which meant that water got... More

Where to start, overall my friends and I had a wonderful time. To start with, the location was great, very close to most places we wanted to go to - clubs, shopping and cultural landmarks. The staff were very helpful and the service was great and consistent, as though nothing was too hard. The food was not overly priced and... More

Adelphi is in a great location--Flinders Lane--which is close to the National Gallery and lots of great restaurants like Movida. It is a bit tired now, the faux Constructivist furniture never looked great and it now it's shabby. Each floor used to have a selection of works by leading Australian photographers. These have gone and the art now is really... More

Don't bother. The receptionist ignored us when we arrived to check in, answering the phone instead. While the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good. The room and bathroom were a great size. Pretty much everything else was bad. Our toilet was so loud it couldn't be flushed at night. The cistern filled for about 30 mins. On the... More

Two years ago, my friend and I decided to have a girls' weekend in Melbourne - she travelled from Queensland and I from Perth, WA. The photographs of the Adelphi on the internet looked appealing and someone had told us about the unique overhanging pool so we thought we'd book it - although it was quite pricey. What a rip-off!!!... More

Stayed at the Adelphi in Melbourne. The lighting in the bathroom was so poor my wife had to apply her makeup by "braille". I had the same experience when trying to shave. It was like someone had cut the power to the bathroom and we were having to use birthday candles. The rest of the stay was good. Clean room,... More

Agree with all the recent reviews below, they are all accurate and realistic. The Adelphi was hip in its day, which was the early 1990's but now it is run down. It has lost it's edge, along with the original concept. In addition to other guest's informative comments, note you will be charged $100 bond per night for room incidentals... More

Needs a revamp. Tired... Would have been great back when it opened. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great location. Close to lots of great paces to eat although we never managed to get into chin chin. Great little coffee shop near chapter house with funky staff. Stay again ? Probably not... Too expensive for what you get although location is... More
