Dorsett Melbourne

"Our stay was wonderful. We got a free upgrade to a Diva suite from the amazing Lily. Then we had a lovely card and chocolates for the birthday girl. We also had the awesome manager give us access to the executive lounge for nibbles and drinks. It was such a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again xx"

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location we walked everywhere, the place was comfortable but not sound proofed so you hear the doors opening and shutting all the time. Found some things missing like there was an ironing board but no iron. Reception was slow, even if no guests infront of them but appreciate them looking after our bags when we arrived early."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"US travelers, Meriton Suites Melbourne far exceeded my expectations. As a lifetime platform elite member of Marriott, Meriton suite provides superb rooms with full kitchen and laundry units at 1/2 the price of a good Marriott hotel room. It is an apartment hotel, so room cleaning is every 4 th day."
