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/ nuit
Réservez si You want to be literally 15 seconds from Flinders Street Station and don't plan to spend much time in your room.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- 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
En bref : A functional, no-nonsense city base that trades room size for being in the absolute center of the action.
Évalué par @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.
