Top Preston Hotel Reviews

The Langham, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing Staff and Location is absolutely perfect for a say in Melbourne. Breakfast options are extremely pricy with Melbourne being the heart of Cafes my recommendation would be skip the breakfast and explore Melbourne's laneways! Otherwise hotel and stay was perfect."

View Melbourne

8/10 Good

"We have stayed previously at this hotel and it seems the furnishings and carpets, etc could use a deeper clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. We like the location with the proximity to the city centre a short drive away. Lots of construction in Melbourne going on and of course the traffic is usually busy."
