DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne - Flinders Street

My second stay at this Doubletree and after trying out other Hilton branded properties nearby, definitely my last. The ground floor is unwelcoming, it’s all open plan so breakfast/restaurant, bar and reception all crammed in one small space, it just doesn’t create a welcoming impression. A screen or a curtain would make such a difference, but it’s just chaotic. Upgraded from a King Room to a King City View…. Whilst it’s nice to have the outside light I would hardly call peering into a few office blocks a city view! Massive waste of space in the room. Nice bathroom and comfy bed though. Breakfast staff great but the worst coffee machine going. Good spread, with lots of options and topped up well. It does seem that of all the Hilton brands in Melbourne, this one really doesn’t do much for Honors Diamond members Bar my room (upgrade?) and standard breakfast I didn’t get a drinks token and was given a bottle of water on check in to carry up, but this wasn’t replenished throughout my 3 day stay. This is a functional hotel without any wow factor, prob great if you are using it to go back and forwards to the office each day, but not for anyone on a weekend break or on holiday. I cancelled my stay the following week and moved it to the Curio nearby and so glad I did. Certainly won’t be back to this hotel

Had a great experience at the Doubletree, the staff a friendly and helpful, the check in and out process was easy and quick and they were helpful when needed. Room was a nice size, clean and the bed was comfortable and allowed a good nights sleep. The walls are a little thin, so could here next door, but tit didn't affect my sleep. Breakfast had plenty of variety and options. The gym is an average standard hotel gym, so ok for a cardio workout. Location is excellent, right in the heart of the city and close to everything you need.

The hotel is right in the heart of everything, which makes it super convenient for me. The exhibition venue, supermarket, food court, and merchandise shops are all within walking distance. There’s also Starbucks, Nando’s, and Walker’s Donuts nearby — and they’re open 24 hours, which is such a blessing! I was sad that my room was facing to connecting bridge of the other building behind, so no view at all. The excited one was, knowing that The Yarra River is just 300 meters across the street. Honestly, it’s a really great place to stay. Highly recommended!

First dont make our mistake and book a room without windows! We managed to get one with windows but the first night was claustrophobic. Perfectly situated and close to everything included transport. Breakfast was real good, staff great, gym enough for us, bar pleasant with friendly staff.

In the heart of Melbourne with historic buildings left and right this beautiful modern hotel stands out. But what makes the real difference is the staff. In particular Kayla-Leigh went extra mile to make sure that we had a room even though we showed up early and personally brought our things to us. She did all of this with patience (we bugged her several times) and a smile She’s professional and personable, and is the kind of staff that any hotel seeks.
