“If you ever come to Melbourne Australia I recommend staying at the Melbourne Marriott in downtown. The best free breakfast I've ever had in any Hotel ever! Spacious rooms comfortable air conditioning. Great water pressure. Room was dark at night.”
“The room itself was comfortable, however the heater was not very effective. Since our room had a courtyard and it was winter, the room stayed quite cold, and we felt chilly every night, which slightly affected our comfort. Staff were generally okay and helpful, though both housekeeping and reception felt a bit slow at times — they did assist us eventually, but response time could be improved. On the positive side, we were allowed early check-in, and the team kindly offered complimentary breakfast since we arrived earlier than expected, which was a nice and thoughtful gesture. Overall, an okay experience with some room for improvement, especially in room heating and service efficiency during busy periods.”
“Staying here at the moment for the first time as a Titanium member. Was upgraded to an Executive room as they said there was no available suite at check in. Location is definitely very convenient with lots of restaurants in surrounding streets, including Chinatown. Service from everyone we met or came across so far has been good and helpful. The M Club lounge is very small and so is the vanity top and basin in the bathroom. Not really any views from the room and the window was quite dirty. Breakfast was enjoyed for the first time this morning. Thank you for the various lactose free options. Always like a fresh fruit and vegetable juicing station but there was no ginger provided. Over the course of a few days, Marron has been exceptional friendly and helpful at Essence (breakfast).”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding 5-Star Stay at Melbourne Marriott Hotel for My Surprise 50th Birthday! I absolutely loved it! My sister surprised me in the hotel room with balloons and decorations—it was incredibly special and truly unforgettable. The Marriott staff played a huge part in making it all happen; they were attentive, thoughtful, and helpful beyond measure. We stayed the night and attended the magic show “Impossible Occurrences” with Luke Hocking’s at the hotel, which is always exceptional. If you haven’t seen it, you must—go see it! I have seen the show about six times now, and once again, I had an exceptional experience at the Melbourne Marriott Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the service was truly five-star—warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. The room was beautifully appointed—clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable, with bedding that ensured a wonderful night’s sleep. The hotel’s location is ideal, right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of shopping, dining, and major attractions. The facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was elegant yet relaxed. Every interaction with the team reflected true hospitality and outstanding attention to detail. I highly recommend the Melbourne Marriott Hotel to anyone seeking comfort, quality service, and a premium city stay. I will absolutely be returning. A heartfelt thank you to everyone—from concierge, the buffet wait staff, and housekeeping, to the team who even assisted us with cleanup bags for the balloons after the celebration. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you, Melbourne Marriott Hotel, for making my 50th birthday one filled with exceptional, heartfelt service from start to finish. With much gratitude, Vasfie Besim”
