4-Star Hotels in Victoria, Australia

I had an unexpected allergy to cat dander at a friend's place during my trip to Melbourne, so I booked this hotel very last minute. To my surprise, the overall experience was much better than I expected. The hotel's location is right in the heart of Melbourne. Stepping out, you're immediately in Chinatown, surrounded by Asian supermarkets, a variety of Chinese restaurants, major domestic bubble tea brands, and even the city's largest department store with many famous brands. There's even an Arc'teryx store right across from the hotel, which was a pleasant surprise! Transportation is super convenient too. Just a short walk from the hotel, you'll find tram and bus stops. Since I booked it at a low price and found this hotel in a hurry, I initially thought I'd just make do, but it was genuinely a pleasant surprise. The hotel lobby's fragrance is on par with five-star hotels. The front desk even has a self check-in machine, which is quite convenient. You can also request an extra key card to keep the power on or for a companion. This was really great for an introvert like me! 😂 You need to swipe your card to access each floor, so safety is also good. The room isn't huge, but it's fair for the price. The cleanliness was also good; the toilet and bathroom were surprisingly spotless. The only minor drawback is that if you turn on the air conditioning at night, it can be noisy, and the soundproofing from the hallway isn't great either. Overall, the value for money is good. It's very suitable for those who don't demand perfect accommodation but prioritize convenient travel and easy access to Chinese food.

Wonderful hotel! Upon check in, Mark at the reception immediately remembered where we came from and also that we have done online check in and thanked us for doing so. We feel respected and welcomed. He also provided suggestions to us on places to see, which were great suggestions. The service of the hotel, especially Mark was marvelous! The room is spacious with nice shower. Water pressure could be better. Bed was very comfortable that I wish to take it come with me. Sound proof not at issue. Everything is just perfect! Of course, the location is also a plus with just a few minutes walk from the tram station and 10-15 mins walk to CBD.

After returning from the Great Ocean Road, I stayed here again. It's a hotel-style apartment with convenient transportation and plenty of dining options. It's also very close to Chinatown. There's a tram stop right downstairs, and you can take the 96 to South Melbourne. It's close to the church, train station, and shopping center, and not far from Queen Victoria Market. Plus, Melbourne's public transport is free in the city center. The apartment isn't huge, but it's new and you can cook, although I didn't. Great value for money.

I arrived at late check-in time on 2/11 Sunday and Mildua Inlander's staff was after office hour so I contacted to staff for room check-in by phone call, Staff are so helpful to help me to collect the room key and required admin work. However, due to the resort's layout and my room location(my room is ROOM 90), the circulation of the hotel is not poor, poor room ordering(it is not by 101 for on 1/F like typical hotel, it is using 1-50 for G/F, 51-100 for level 1; if 101-110 for block 1, 121-129 for block 2, 131-139 for block 3, 141-150 for block 4 would be better), no coherent corridor at the end, not much signage and map/easy to miss, no Lift or easy ramp for level 1. so, it is hard to find my room and poor experience before entry the room. Room is good for me. One thing is: can consider to have openable window after the mosquito net on the balcony sliding door if I don't want to turn on the air-conditioner.

My spouse and I stayed here during Golden Week. We arrived at Melbourne Airport around 5 AM and took the SkyBus to Southern Cross Station. The hotel was close to the station, which was super convenient. The facilities were a bit old, but cleanliness wasn't an issue at all. The elevator was incredibly vintage; it actually made us laugh! We had booked a one-bed room, but they upgraded us to a much more spacious two-bed room, which was a pleasant surprise. Having a bathtub was also a big plus. It even came with a kitchen. For Melbourne, the price was quite affordable, and we had a very comfortable stay.

Unexpectedly comfortable! The room is spacious, the kitchenware is complete, and the bedding is comfortable. It is so comfortable to enjoy the massage chair and bathtub after climbing the mountain! There are often dozens of ducks playing in the small pond outside the French window, kangaroos jumping on the lawn from morning to night, and flocks of parrots and beautiful birds.

Super, super, super good! Unbeatable value for money! It's a large apartment with a kitchen, and you still get Mercure's service and amenities! Although the building is a bit older, the bathrooms have all been renovated. The location is excellent, right downstairs are McDonald's and a tram stop. It's in the CBD but on the edge, so it's not too chaotic at night. The hygiene is great! All the staff are absolutely wonderful!!! I stayed for over two weeks and didn't want to leave. The only downside is there's no place to do laundry, which is a bit inconvenient for long stays.

The hotel is one of Australia's top 100 golf courses. It's very new. The rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. The stadium has a supporting restaurant. Friends who go to Geelong can stay there.

NOTE FOR EVERYONE : $150 DEPOSIT This property should update deposit policy on booking app. When I booked it, I called the hotel regarding deposit and they said it depends on the room I've booked, and the deposit will be between $1-100. When I came in, I need to pay $150 for deposit which is wrong information from them before. It's better to state it clearly on booking app so everyone can prepare for it. Deposit payment return to my account in 7 days. There is no issue with other things when I stayed in this hotel. My family really loved it. The tram stop just in front of the hotel and only takes 10 minutes to CBD. We stayed in Family 2 bedroom that has city view on 10th floors. Facilities are great, it has washing and dryer machines which is really helpful for someone that has baby or kids. For budget hotel, I would say this is the best experience and value that I've ever stayed in Melbourne. I paid $177 for 2 bedroom on the weekend stayed. Definitely will be back someday. Recommended 👍👍👍👍

Dorsett hotel is a great hotel, few issues, lack of parking or street access, no bathroom amenities unless you call reception and request items, breakfast was way below standard, at 9am, way too many empty dishes, no bread available, not worth the price to include breakfast in your stay, hotel has way to improve in this department. Cheaper to eat at local cafes than hotel with what was available. Not to standard for this kind of hotel.
