Wir haben uns in einem Hotel noch nie so unwillkommen gefühlt: zunächst ein wirklich rotziger Ton, wo unser Buchungsbeleg sei, dann Reisepässe ausgehändigt, wo dann pünktlich mit dem Kollegen gelacht wurde (nein, vermutlich nicht über den Pass, aber der Eindruck entstand). Am nächsten Tag um eine Auskunft gefragt, war der Ton nicht besser. Am Pool musste man gerade weg und das „System sei abgestürzt“. Als beim Auschecken die Frage kam, ob wir wiederkommen, mussten wir wirklich kurz blöd gucken. Bei der Kategorie, in der das Hotel meint, mitzuspielen, muss das Personal noch lange geschult werden, denn den Preis zahle ich v.a. für die Atmosphäre, und die war arrogant und saumäßig.

Marriot international standards have certainly been adhered to. Property was well presented, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment as i was traveling with my wife and 2 children aged 21 and 15. Had thought the 2nd bedroom had 2 single beds but sadly it was not (contained a queen bed) but the hotel provided an extra roll away for my daughter at no extra cost. Beds were extremely comfortable and both bathrooms very spacious. Unfortunately my request for a pool view room was not taken note of and received a city view room. The only issue with the apartment was the shower cubicle where the drainage was slow while taking a shower so ended up standing in the dirty shower water. If the apartment condition is maintained and the shower issue addressed, i will not hesitate to stay again. Overall our stay was very good. Love the staff attitude and service ethic - no request was to difficult and always willing to assist.

Excellent hotel in a great area. Only spent one night before traveling back home following our (family of 4) South African safari trip. Everything at the hotel was top notch. Safe location to walk around with plenty restaurant options just a short walk away. All of the staff we encountered were extremely welcoming. Would definitely stay at the Marriott Melrose Arch when visiting again!

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Melrose Arch Marriott. It's centrally located which afforded us the opportunity to walk to several shops and restaurants. My only issue with our hotel stay was with room service. When we would receive our meal from room service it was usually cold. I had to make sure to mention to please make sure I food was hot upon delivery. I was so annoyed one morning that I just sent my food back and started dining out for breakfast.
