Top Emerald Hotel Reviews

Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing accomodation. Very clean modern rooms with a fantastic view of the winery."

Hyatt Place Melbourne, Caribbean Park

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my stay. Room was beautiful and the staff were great. Only let down was that my order of in room dining hadn’t arrived for over an hour and a half. When I called to enquire it was delivered in less than 15 minutes. Was told they will give me my Diet Coke for free. Which turned out to be a tiny can. The whole meal should have been complimentary as far as I’m concerned. Very poor effort on that part."
