Dorsett Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and clean , great facilities "

Hyatt Centric Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"I may have already rated this hotel, but it’s worth repeating. We absolutely loved our stay at the Hyatt Centric — the service was outstanding, and the hotel itself was comfortable, stylish, and exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t opt for the included breakfast, and eco-friendly features weren’t a priority for us, so I didn’t comment on those aspects. What mattered most was the overall experience, and on that front, the Hyatt Centric delivered beautifully. We’ll happily return for another stay. My only wish is that the price could be a little lower — but even so, it was a fantastic experience."
