"My daughter and I enjoyed a memorable stay here at the Hyatt. All staff, from Bellhop to Reception, were professional and courteous, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room (Riverview) was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The view out across the River Yarra, Arts center, and MCG was amazing, especially so at night. A thoroughly enjoyable stay; thank you Hyatt. We will return."

Top Preston Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, tidy and really comfortable rooms"

1 Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"New property. Room was unique. Heavy focus on natural materials. Oddly, the lobby had an essential oil or candle that was releasing an irritant that was quite irratating to the lungs. Online the descriptions have it as “hypoallergenic”, but with pets allowed and the peculiar lobby issue, I think those with asthma or allergy issues should avoid."

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay at this apartment, appreciated the toaster, electric jug, and cook top. Bed was very comfortable, and heat pump worked well. We did go out and watch a soccer match so my husband did come back with grass on his shoes. Even though the room was supposedly serviced the next day, the vacuuming left a lot to be desired. The swimming pool and spa were very popular, myself, and husband both in our 70’s and 19 year old grandson enjoyed it very much. Would stay there again."
