DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Melbourne - Flinders Street

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Melbourne - Flinders Street

8/10 Good
"Excellent location but the interior has a very modern, industrial feel with exposed brickwork, black piping and metalwork. Bedrooms at the side were very quiet and the beds were comfortable with large, supportive pillows. Staff at breakfast were very helpful and welcoming. Check in was welcoming and efficient too."
