Positives: Great location, fantastic facilities (pool, gym, sauna, spa), friendly, helpful staff, clean and spacious rooms, decent price, onsite parking.

Negatives: Very noisy on Saturday night. Terrible shower ended up using the shower in the pool area. Fridge either leaked or freezes food, having to get reception to let you into the gym/pool area is a pain in the butt.

Overall good - I would stay again but maybe a higher room would be less noisy?

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the chancellor on hobson hotel! The room was spotless, spacious, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.
The staff were exceptional—friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. Their hospitality made me feel genuinely welcome from check-in to check-out. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was perfect.
The facilities were excellent, the service was outstanding, and the attention to detail was truly impressive. The location was also convenient and added to the overall experience.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and outstanding customer service. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to my next visit. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so memorable!

The room was very spacious and clean. We really enjoyed it, and the view and location are amazing. The staff are very friendly and polite.

The bathroom is in very desperate need of cleaning and TLC. The glass panel is absolutely filthy. There is rot everywhere. The architraves are rotted. The shower curtain is not appealing, and I did not want it touching my body.

Initially I had booked the wrong hotel as I had assumed it was the Grand Chancellor Hotel that I had stayed at previously unfortunately it was not.
The 1 bedroom I had booked and stayed in was basic with cooking facilities. The room is large enough to have a small dining table and chairs but this room didn’t. The most annoying was hearing the cleaners banging away loud noises early in the morning on the weekend where all I wanted was a nice sleep in. St one point I had asked reception for a bucket of ice to which they replied there was a Woolworths Supermarket approx 400mtrs walk. I thought this was a hotel but I think it’s more like serviced appartments. I didn’t bother checking out the pool or spa as it was always busy with the apartment tenants that reside there. The bed was comfy though the staff were nice and very close to the viaduct and transport centre.

The location is convenient, with major tourist attractions reachable within a 20-minute walk. It was very nice to have both a washer and dryer in the room. There is plenty of storage space for clothing in drawers and cabinet shelves as well as plenty of space (over a 4-foot expanse) to place our toiletries on the vanity —something that has gradually disappeared in many newly renovated hotels. We also enjoyed a great view of the city, and the staff was friendly.

However, there were a few issues. The shower room leaked when the showerhead was used in a portable way. The AC remote control did not function properly, so we were unable to adjust the temperature. Although staff came to fix it twice, the problem was not resolved. Additionally, the AC fan made an annoying high-pitched noise. Overall, I would rate this stay a 4.5.

Bed was awesome! Sheets very luxurious. Handy location. But very slow check-in. No parking. No where to put your bathroom stuff down in the bathroom, we had to use a dining chair. Thought the property had been refurbished but carpet looked a bit rough in the kitchen area, kitchen cupboards very old and worn, ceiling in bathroom had peeling paint. We appreciated our welcome gift, thank you. Would stay again just for the bed and if we could get a park.

We only stayed one night, but when we got into the room it was a self contained room which had just been upgraded.
There was a lot of the hotel being upgraded, it’s going to be nice when it is finished as it is central to most things which in our case was the cruise terminal, cross the road , over the footbridge then a 60m. Walk to the terminal…tops

Room 1011 not good. Paint blotches all over the carpet, missing handle on a drawer, chipped corner of kitchen sink. Wardrobe drawer fell off the runners and I had to lift it back on as it was too heavy for my wife to do. Also city facing was very noisy. However, I would give the property a try with a harbour facing view and hopefully better presented room. Tge gym as also great.

Wonderful views over the water with balcony from a spacious apartment. Great access to the water and the city. A swim/sauna/jacuzzi was welcome at the hotel on very early arrival from airport. Luggage happily stored on my behalf on request.
There are some renovations apparently going on in the hotel but my bathroom needed a deep clean. The rubber seal on the shower door was brown and disgusting with grouting discolouration. Cleaning should have included fridge door handle, door handles, tv remote in general and more attention to detail. I came in each day to find my bedroom lights on when I had definitely switched them off on leaving for the day! The apartment needed complete sets of items that matched: plates, mugs, cutlery etc
On entry to reception, there is a peculiar smell, undefinable, and to me, unpleasant.
Staff were very pleasant on arrival and departure and one lady brought me an item to the room which was very helpful.

However 10/10 in all the important things. It had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on, plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Viaduct, supermarkets and great range of eateries all within a few minutes walk. Same goes for buses. Every staff member I met was friendly, courteous and obliging. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Room 220 really needs immediate maintenance. There’s mould on the bathroom ceiling and in the tiles and grout, along with peeling paint, a dirty shower curtain, cracked tiles, and even tape on part of the rotten floor. It’s disappointing, especially given the rate — around $200 per night when booked directly. The room is small and hasn’t been properly maintained for years (I know since I’ve stayed here before), which is a real letdown.

On the positive side, the location is fantastic — very close to the city centre. However, you do get some street noise, so light sleepers might find it disruptive. The staff were very friendly, and I appreciated the gym, pool, and in-room kitchenette.

Overall, the hotel has potential, but the cleanliness and maintenance issues really need attention. I wouldn’t value this room at more than $150–$160 per night in its current condition.

Just a little tip if you’re coming with a car parking is a lot cheaper in the parking building close to the Rydges hotel 2 mins walk away.
