Top Preston Hotel Reviews

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a bit dated but the rooms are big, the buffet breakfast is excellent and it’s a perfect place to stay with kids. The pool and spa is a massive bonus in the Melbourne winter."

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location. Breakfast was very average but okay for $20 Room was a good size. Rebooked a family room and selected king and two singles but got two kings. A bit annoying as we have adult brother and sister but couldn’t be bothered asking to change Extremely busy at check in. Bathroom not great only a sink no vanity or anywhere to put clean clothes Shower pressure terrible. For the cheapest stay that isn’t a hostel it was fine for one night"

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"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."
