The hype
Travelers love the staff and the insane convenience, but often complain about the small, narrow rooms.
Doubletree By Hilton Melbourne - Flinders Street
$130-220 / нощ
Запазете го, ако You want to be literally 15 seconds from Flinders Street Station and don't plan to spend much time in your room.
Защо хората я обичат
- Unbeatable location directly opposite the main train station
- The signature warm DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie at check-in
- Surprisingly good soundproofing in the street-facing rooms
Бързо резюме: A functional, no-nonsense city base that trades room size for being in the absolute center of the action.
Преглеждано от @Gipsy7: I arrived late and this loft room was the perfect surprise. The split-level layout made it feel huge, like my own city apartment. I spent ages just sitting by the window watching Flinders Street Station glow at night. Definitely one of the most unique stays I've had in Melbourne.

Reality check
A June 2025 review mentioned a mouse in the restaurant, though cleanliness scores remain generally high (9.0/10).
- You are in Melbourne for a concert or sports event (MCG is walkable)
- You prioritize location over luxury amenities
- You are a Hilton Honors member chasing points on a budget
Чистота и поддръжка
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable; rooms are generally described as 'spotless' and 'modern'.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean but compact; grout and tiles are usually well-maintained.
- Maintenance: The hotel was renovated in 2014, so it's holding up well, though some carpets in hallways show high-traffic wear.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton crisp white linens; towels are plentiful and clean.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like warm cookies (intentionally); rooms are generally neutral/fresh.

💡The building is incredibly narrow; it feels like a sliver of a hotel.
💡The 'River View' rooms often just look at the office building across the alley with a sliver of water.
💡The gym is tiny (basically a converted room) but rarely busy.
💡You can hear the 'ding' of the pedestrian crossing from lower floor front rooms.
