It was amazing staying here over easter. The staff were super friendly, the room was so spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished, and the location was stunning - tucked away in the mountains, but still walking distance from great restaurants, shops, etc. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone :)

Atura has undergone refurbishment bringing it in line with all other hotels of this brand Australia wide. The room was large & modern which made for a very pleasing stay. We stayed here to be close to a family function we attended. We had a quick bite to eat in their restaurant before heading out which was handy. There was a choice of other eating options close if required. The room rate charged was more than reasonable for a hotel in Melbourne. Would highly recommend.

Loved the place although I would prefer latex pillows above feather.
Staff were incredible, so willing to appease us in both reception, dinner and breakfast. Very grateful for their flexibility, Michelle and Darren

I loved everything about my stay here except for: 1. I had trouble controlling the air conditioning temperature and there were no instructions - it seemed to have a mind of its own! 2. No blockout curtains on the windows if you want to sleep in.
Everything else was fabulous.

Nice hotel close to Australian Botanical Gardens. Very quiet and lovely historical Australian decor. Enjoyed the original photos. Breakfast simple but good. Wide range of meals in bistro. Very comfortable king sized bed. Bathroom clean and great size.

The facility as a whole was clean, modern, chic and spacious at the same time.
Very friendly and efficient staff.
After-hours check-in was easy to negotiate and hassle-free.
Room was warm and toasty on arrival, plenty of light during the day and numerous ambient light options for both lounge, office and bedroom during the evening.
In-room dishwasher, laundry facilities, bathrobe and slippers - a welcome treat.
Jetted bath in bathroom and balcony for smokers were my main selling point.

Great Hotel.. Contemporary and clean.. Much nicer than I expected for Ringwood.. Parking fees are a bit of a joke.. $35 a night?! Come on.. Its not a CBD hotel and there is a free parking lot within 50 paces out back! Gym was well appointed. Quick 5 min walk to Eastland and other shops.. In summation, Would I stay there again?? Hell Yeah I would!
