Best Meeting rooms in Australia

Larry is amazing!
I was probably his most stressed out bride to deal with! He had so much patience for me. Very very accommodating. He would have bent over backwards if I had asked. I do not have one negative thing to say about my wedding ceremony and reception held at this venue. The package He gave us was absolutely amazing, included the DJ, smoke, indoor fireworks, meals, dance floor, table settings and decor etc. He did so much so that I could do less. I visited a few other venues before finding Larry and everywhere else wanted a huge amount of money just to be at the venue not including anything! If you want an amazing wedding or any function for that matter, please contact Larry! You will not be disappointed. I will recommend this venue to EVERYONE!

Good location, plenty of parking at side and rear! Lovely, friendly staff. Owner is amazing as well.

Good venue, Food was average. Kudos.

Warm and welcoming. Terrific green grass, well prepared and rolls well.
Highly recommend this club.

Nice place to play lawn bowls

We had our wedding reception here and we’re so glad we did! The process and the night was extremely smooth sailing. Larry was so easy to deal with and very accomodating. The food was great and we received lots of compliments from friends.

Nice club, great club rooms, and friendly members. If you're new to the area and looking for a club, or simply passing through and keen for a game, pay a visit to Burwood BC. If nothing else, the beer is always cold!! :)

They have 3 rooms available to support up to 1000 people if you want to go big. The food is delicious and have their own catering service. The sound system is great, drink and alco available as well. The staff accommodate our query fast and they give great service. Would definitely book again for the next event. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Perfect place for a fun work Christmas breakup with 1990s bar prices.

Highly recommend choosing Festival Functions Findon. Larry provided excellent quality service including venue set up, food and great care throughout the night with flexibility.

Good location hotel in CBD, the size of the rooms also not too bad but, the lobby looks a bit dull. Need some touch up or renew the look but not bad. The signboard of hotel is a bit dirty, or the wording looks faded. Rooms are great. Newly renovated. Recommended if looking for budget hotel in CBD.

Great location and awesome buffet breakfast. Service was warm and welcoming. The power point in the bathroom did not work and informed front desk and was informed it would be taken care of but did not get fixed.

A Nightmare at Chancellor Hotel: A Masterclass in Disappointment

I recently had the displeasure of staying at the Chancellor Hotel, and I can confidently say that it was one of the most disastrous hotel experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped foot into this establishment, I was greeted with disappointment at every turn.

Let's start with the staff. Incompetence seemed to be their specialty, as they consistently failed to provide even the most basic level of customer service. The receptionists were uninterested, rude, and seemed to possess zero knowledge about the hotel's amenities or local recommendations. It was as if they were doing me a favor by allowing me to stay there.

Next, let's discuss the rooms. Dingy, outdated, and lacking even a semblance of cleanliness, they were an absolute horror show. The bed was uncomfortable, the linens were threadbare, and the furniture seemed to have been salvaged from a thrift store reject pile. The bathroom was a whole other level of revulsion, with moldy tiles, leaking faucets, and a distinct odor that made me question whether the housekeeping staff had ever heard of cleaning products.

Now, let's move on to the noise. If you enjoy the soothing sounds of construction machinery and street traffic throughout the night, then this is the perfect hotel for you. The noise insulation was nonexistent, making it virtually impossible to get a decent night's sleep. It felt as if the hotel was situated right in the middle of an active construction site.

Oh, and let's not forget about the "amenities" promised on their website. The fitness center was a joke, consisting of a single rusty treadmill and some outdated dumbbells. The so-called "high-speed" Wi-Fi was slower than a snail on tranquilizers, making it impossible to even load a simple webpage. And good luck trying to find a parking spot in their cramped and poorly maintained parking garage.

To top it all off, the location of the Chancellor Hotel was less than desirable. Situated in a shady part of town, I constantly felt unsafe venturing outside after dark. The surrounding area lacked any decent dining options or attractions, leaving me stranded with limited choices.

In conclusion, the Chancellor Hotel is a disgraceful excuse for a lodging establishment. From the abysmal staff to the decrepit rooms and nonexistent amenities, it is a place that embodies disappointment in every aspect. Save yourself the anguish and find another hotel that actually values its guests.

Stayed at this hotel last Friday for one night before flying out to Vietnam. Over all it was a very pleasant stay. The staff were extremely polite & helpful. However one thing we were very confused about? We booked for breakfast & were given complentary tickets we assumed it was complentary but, when we went to check out we were told we had to pay???? Please do not give false promises & just avoid using the tickets. Also the shower in our room was very slippery & dangerous as we are an elderly couple we really didn't find it very user friendly.

Very outdated and probably was 4 star hotel in the 1980s. For the price we had higher expectations. Firstly, we cannot fault the customer service, all staff were great to deal with. Upon entering the room though they are very dated and small. The shower had no pressure and is either scorching hot or cold. The room service menu is redeeming but after 10pm you cannot access any of the drinks - how is it possible to have some butter chicken but not a simple milkshake for a midnight snack?
We had high hopes particularly because of the price but have stayed at properties that are cheaper and have better amenities. The location to the theatres and other major Melbourne highlights is attractive but we feel that there would be other locations within the area that are of higher quality for the same or even cheaper.

Pros: #1. spacious room, with a desk; #2. in a central location; #3. a great rooftop pool; #4. Restaurant food is yum and not too pricey. Cons: #1. there was construction going on that had not been mentioned when booking, or on the website, or on check-in - instead I woke to the loud sound of drilling, which was awful after a flight when needing a sleep-in to get over time differences. There was no apology or any attempt to do anything when I raised this with reception. #2. The bathrooms have been renovated & look modern, but are impractical and risky: there was a big step up into the shower (which has a very low ceiling) with no handrail to help when stepping back down with a wet floor (& nothing to stop water dripping everywhere). I have a leg impairment and found it very scary & difficult each time I needed to step up, but especially down, from the shower. Would not have booked here had I known of this setup (I’m fine with normal bathrooms but this was inaccessible even for my needs). #3. negligible signage to help you find the pool (or the right door when you need to come back down), and the pool only has a narrow ladder style entry - needs steps.

Service was fantastic, and location was great. Short walk into China town for food and easy access to most areas.

Room was slightly dated though, older TV which would not let me change hdmi inputs.

Roof top pool was nice, and the night view was great.

Room was comfortable and clean if not a little small. The step out of the shower was a little high which could cause a slip. Loved the bed though. Comfortable and big.
What let the hotel down was the dinner service. The staff serving were very pleasant. However the problem was they seem to get things wrong. Only poured one glass of wine instead of two, served only one starter and we ordered dessert which we had to cancel as it didn't arrive after 20 minutes and had to go see a show.
When we got back we ordered cappuccinos and got lukewarm coffee with no chocolate sprinkle.
My thoughts were inexperienced staff in the restaurant.
We had breakfast in the morning which was discounted and had no issue with the quality.
Understand mistakes might happen if they were really busy but the restaurant was very quiet so no real excuse getting the sort of things already stated wrong.

We had our wedding reception at Festival Functions on 25.2.2023 and it was everything we could have asked for and more.

For the year leading up, Larry was always a pleasure to deal with. He was transparent, organised and accommodated every single one of our requests. On the night, he was completely across everything - to the point where even our guests noticed.

The room looked absolutely spectacular and the food was sensational (especially the calamari and gnocchi). We could not recommend this venue any more.

Thank you Larry and the team.

We had our wedding at the Burwood District Bowls club in April 2021. Craig and the whole team were so helpful and accommodating. We had to change our date several times over 2020-2021 and they were happy to reschedule and to make things easier for us in anyway they could. They were extra helpful when we had to very quickly move our ceremony inside, as the heavens opened and it bucketed just before the ceremony was to begin! Would highly recommend having a function at the bowls club!

We used the meeting rooms for workshops over three days. The staff were positive, helpful and responsive to all our requests. The catering was great and was served in a Covid-safe way. Highly recommended.

Excellent facilities, super helpful staff.

Nothing is too much trouble for Andrea.

Thoroughly recommended, will be using this facility again!

Highly recommend for Friday night Barefoot Bowls. Great kid friendly activity, and super welcoming and kind staff. I'd also recommend checking out the impressive beer selection before heading up to the greens.

We booked this place to run some group discussions and it worked really well. Kevin is a fantastic host and runs a very professional operation. We ran the sessions in the evening and Kevin ensured that all the respondents had easy access to the building after hours. I can definitely recommend this venue, thanks again Kevin

Beautiful room staff very friendly and helpful ..plenty of food.. was a wonderful Christmas party ❤

Clean, great food, quiet, functional rooms. Toilets are outside on the hallway.

Looking for a top notch location in the city call the girls

Variety of meeting / training rooms available for hire

Great day out for work function. Excellent, helpful staff. Definitely a fun day had!

Aircon wasn't working well for the 2 days of our workshop. Nice clean venue. Food was great!! Lots of vegan vegetarian options

Jen is so lovely to deal with and gets back to me on my enquiry every-time. They are reasonably priced and very accommodating. Everyone at this Burwood Bowls club are just so lovely. It's such a great spot and beautiful venue to have a party.

Always a delight to work with. Couldn't recommend Andrea and her team enough for our Adelaide events. Thank you!
