The room (Riverview) was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The view out across the River Yarra, Arts center, and MCG was amazing, especially so at night. A thoroughly enjoyable stay; thank you Hyatt. We will return."

Next Hotel Melbourne, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Absolute Top Notch!! can't fault a thing. Very pleasant stay"

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice, modern room in a good location (near to Southern Cross Station, where the Skybus to the Airport is). Spacious room (with a sitting area and kitchen). Bathroom was also nice with spacious shower. It was also nice to have a washer/dryer in our room for laundry. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Cleaning is only once every three days, and it is more of a mini-clean, but was fine for our stay. We stayed in a Meriton Suites in Sydney too, and this one in Melbourne was nicer. Would definitely stay here again."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed with a friend for 3 nights for a weekend afl footy trip. We were greeted by a cheerful, helpful reception staff member who remained on every night and greeted us each evening as we walked past. Morning staff were helpful with directions and breakfast buffet was the best I have experienced for some time. Room was clean, ok size for what we needed, bathroom was clean as well. Only 5 minutes walk to the mall, 20 mins to MCG and trams were only a block away. Restaurant and bar available. Very nice stay, the staff assisted with the 5 star review, always pleasant and helpful."

The Langham, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"All the staff we met were extremely gracious and helpful. The room was a very good size with a huge bathroom. I don’t know if perhaps our room was an accessible one (which we did not require) but the sink was very low. Nice selection on the breakfast buffet which seems to cater for most if not all. My only issue with the buffet was that there was only one person making the omelettes and the line was very long. Too long to wait while your toast and coffee get cold, so I moved on to the poached eggs. No wait there."
