Dorsett Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great area, nice pool and spa space. Breakfast was great!"

The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"World class"

Vibe Hotel Melbourne Docklands

10/10 Excellent

"The reception staff at check in and departure were fantastic. The young lady who looked after our check out was able to offer us a discount after I listed off the issues with the room. 1. No skirt around the bed base 2. TV did not operate properly it would switch off after a few minutes. Apparently a known issue. 3. Room was not serviced even though extra towels and pillows were delivered. Apparently you need to put out a swing tag to have the room serviced. 4. The pillows initially supplied had zero support whereas the extra ones supplied were fantastic supportive pillows. 5. Getting a drink at the bar was nearly impossible as staff kept disappearing out the back for 15-20 minutes at a time. 6. There was a pile of sawdust at the bottom of the bathroom door from where it rubbed. 7. The initial towels supplied were almost threadbare whereas the extra towels supplied when requested were fantastic fluffy towels. 8. The 2 prints on the walls were hung on an angle that was visible without using a level. Other than that the location is fantastic and if these few things were taken care of we’d stay there again."

The Langham, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the perfect example of a five star hotel that is the best in every category i can image. if they build a ski resort next door it will be 10 stars out of 5. It smells soo good and the breakfast is the most perfect view and most delicious ingridents, they have EVERYTHING and the best part is the staff who remember you and treat you like royalty. Its hot tub and pool are so unique, I dare you find another one like it. Their food is soo delicious and good prices.
