Novotel Melbourne on Collins

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Melbourne, wasn’t sure what to expect as the entrance isn’t very inviting but once you get up to the reception level there was a nice bar and restaurant area. Lots of people use the hotel for business. Very good breakfast which was included, one of the best I’ve had. I’d stay here again."

1 Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We (family of 4 with two young daughters) loved our stay at 1 Hotel Melbourne. It is a lovely new hotel with very modern rooms and facilities; lots of timber, earthy tones and beautiful feature plants. The immaculate indoor pool, sauna and steam room were very much appreciated on the cooler rainy days. The reception and concierge staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We could not fault our stay at Hotel 1 and will stay there again when we next visit Melbourne."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Certainly lived up to the great reviews. Our little one-bedroom apartment on one of the middle floors had a fantastic view and was extremely clean. Nice to have a coffee machine, dishwasher and kitchenette. The bed was comfortably firm and as others have noted, the place was wonderfully quiet at night. Lovely staff and very handy for transport links. We'd definitely stay again."
