What guests think

At AC Hotel by Marriott Melbourne Southbank, travellers consistently praise the warm, proactive staff, modern comfortable rooms with city views, and handy facilities like the infinity pool, gym and bar, while noting the location feels slightly out-of-the-way despite walkable links.

Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, yet multiple guests noted missed cleaning, hair or dust, and occasionally dirty windows or pool glass. Rooms are generally quiet, though some are compact with tight bathrooms or unusual vanity placement, occasional temperature or noise issues, slow elevators, a small or windy pool, and parking that is off-site and uncovered. Expect a polished, service-forward stay with thoughtful perks, but a few functional compromises.

There’s no parking at this property at all, you have to park at DFO and walk a kilometre. The elevators are the worst I’ve ever seen, be prepared to wait 10 minutes every time you need to go out. Rooms are tiny and very cheaply built for the price you’re paying, grout and silicon in the shower is mouldy. Also the swimming pool looked much bigger and better on the photos, idk it’s an interesting place it’s not bad but definitely not worth the money.

Not enough lifts and it’s a little too out of the way unless you are attending the convention centre. Staff were all amazing however and the room was small but nice. I would say good value for what you pay as well would definitely come back.

Room 1605 was clean only thing i could see was abit of water swelling damage to the bathroom door though. Didnt recieve our bottle of champagne on arrival like i had paid for in our package but did recieve a cocktail upon check-in. Pool was nice and warm. The glass wall in pool was overdue for a clean quite dirty. Breakfast was also nice. 8.5/10 would stay again.

I cant recommend the AC by Mariott enough. Everything about our stay was exceptional from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Staff were so friendly, engaging, and helpful. We were offered a complimentary drink on arrival along with canapas. The facilities were great. The infinity pool was beautiful, the gym had quality equipment, and our room was beautifully presented with classy decor and everything we needed for our stay. The DFO was a <5min walk and the concierge held our bags for us when we checked out so we didn't have to walk around the DFO with all our luggage. We will definitely stay again!

Hi, we enjoyed our stay but the room wasn’t clean. There was a lot of hair on the floor through the room and bathroom and old food crumbs that were there when we arrived and weren’t cleaned when we had the room reset. It did make us wonder how clean the rest of the room was when we saw that. We hope that feed back helps. Many thanks, Meagan Frewin

The hotel is quite nice with small swimming pool which is ok but more like an apartment design. Location is good and room view is fabulous and size is ok. But the hotel has serious issue with cleanliness. The carpets are full of dust. My bed and blanket as well as the curtains are very dusty. My body felt so itchy after sleeping overnight. The staff wasnot really welcome you and have kind of attitude that is not marriot standard for sure.

Rengøringen på værelset var forfærdelig. Lange sorte hår på gulvet. Støv på hylder og i vindueskarmen og endnu mere under sengen. Vinduer og sejle var ikke rengjort ordentligt og havde store blamager af pletter på. Endda gangarealet ved værelset var beskidt med madrester og endda en vatpind liggende mig på gulvet i flere timer. Roomservice kom først efter 17 om eftermiddagen selv om vi havde klaget over værelsets renlighed. Desværre blev det ej heller gjort ordentligt i anden omgang. Mad og personale var søde og høflige.

Lovely, spacious comfortable room on the 10th room with great views of the city, freeways and tram depot. The shower/toilet was very cramped - you could not have swung a cat in it! The staff we interacted with were friendly, courteous and helpful. However, it should be noted that we never saw anybody at the concierge desk in the lobby and the reception is actually on the 7th floor. Parking is available, but it’s in the open on the other side of a busy street, meaning you may have to drag your suitcases a fair distance and negotiate the traffic. Breakfast was hit and miss depending on the time you arrived - hot one day but not the other and fresh fruit offerings were surprisingly poor given the proximity of the hotels to markets.

In regards to the room i would have made bigger bathrooms. The shower and WC area is tiny compare to the size of the room.

The service between the staff felt inconsistent. On check in the man that checked us in was lovely and let us know what was included in our package. When we went to utilise our package we felt weird as none if the staff seemed to know what we were talking about (eg: welcome champagne, room credit & parking).

The hotel itself was absolutely amazing. The DFO is a quick five minute walk which was amazing. The breakfast every morning is well worth the price and the staff each morning was lovely. Every part of our stay was top tier. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Seriously. They went above and beyond each day, even leaving a fruit bowl in our room halfway through the stay, and offering little lavender service that was super cool. I would definitely stay here again! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

Have stayed at AC hotels on numerous occasions. Arrived and they could not find reservation. So booked again via hotels . com. Paid for reservation. Came to pay $100 incidental fee. As had paid for reservation twice account with card attached was low. Had transferred funds into this account from another account but would not go in until after midnight( only 2 hrs away by this time.). I stated l could come back after then but said booking would be cancelled by this time. What was most disappointing was the demeaning attitude and rudeness of the duty manager. She refused to listen despite myself being the only guest awaiting checkout at this time. I had had a most stressful day but was not expecting this disdainful service, especially as previously had only experienced exemplary service. Then, after l was not allowed entry to hotel, l contacted hotel. Com to receive my room fee return as did not stay in this hotel. Alexis at hotel. Com advised myself that AC hotel were very reluctant to return my room fee despite knowing l was refused entry to hotel! Cheeky. Alicia was able to obtain refund after negotiation apparently. I was most grateful for her level of service. On occasion, through my work l am required to organise conferences AC hotel was considered a suitable venue for the same - not any more.

The service and authenticity of the lovely staff stand out so much. We stayed two nights and it was a little admin bungle from our side that had it under 2 different names. From the outset Kevin in reception was just so lovely.. explained the error and how to fix it. Then my booking was for the next night and the last on reception was amazing at 9pm at night. We will return based on the property and its outstanding people, which lets face it can ruin even the best of accommodation. Well done AC Hotel. You were perfect!

Convenient for South Wharf/DFO, Crown and the convention centre, with tram access and easy freeway links. Several note it feels a bit out of the way or isolated compared with central Southbank/City, making some walks less appealing at night.
