Grand Hyatt Melbourne

We are two girls travelling together during school break. The hotel did not provide a safe environment for us. We specifically request to not have our room near the fire exit. But the hotel arranged our room right next to fire exit. We complaint about it but we are still assigned with room next to fire exit. Staff attitude was not good either. They showed that they were annoyed and laughed at my broken English. We also found that the bedsheet was not clean, still had hair and dark spots on the sheet. We requested for change and went outside to explore the city. When we came back, nothing changed. They didn’t do anything to make change. We told trip.com about the problem. The hotel called us and their response is quite passive aggressive. Late at night, we also have a problem with noise. We informed both trip and the hotel. We shorten our stay from 3 nights to 1 night. The hotel response to noise problem is weird as they sent security team to neighboring rooms. Eventually, around 12.30 am, we couldn’t take it anymore so we asked if we can at least change room. The hotel took such long time and it took us many effort to make them show us the new room. However, the new room wasn’t much different and as we check the bedsheet is also stained and has hair on it- it’s not clean. The Indian staff accused us of putting our hair on the bedsheet to fake the evidence. This is outrageous and not respectful to customers. We did nothing at all but were wrongfully accused. He also intimidated two girls like us. He also warned us that the hotel will not give us refund of 2 nights stay. This is outrageous as trip.com already approve our refund. It seems like he want us to have fear and anxiety about this issue. The staffs have not been respectful to us at all and we cried during the night. Overall, facilities here are outdated as the hotel has been around over 60 years. It is more like 2-3 stars hotel/ guesthouse in China rather than matching the standard of 5 star hotel. There is persistent noise problem during the night and early morning. The Aircon is loud and has burning smell. There’s a nude photo of a woman in the toilet which is very weird and disturbing. We didn’t go for the breakfast that we bought as we read the review and many people have said they got food poisoning after eating it. We can also hear the noise from the room next to us and there’s really a person vomiting in the next room at 10 am. The hotel leaves a traumatic experience for us at the start of our Melbourne trip.

Reception is seriously undermanned. Long waits at ALL time.

We initially booked just two nights at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, but the outstanding service we received made us extend our stay—and I’m so glad we did. The level of attentiveness and genuine care shown by the staff truly elevated our experience. One moment that stood out was during breakfast. My husband asked a staff member at the pastry section whether the items were halal. She explained it to him politely, and to our surprise, about 15 minutes later, the Assistant Director of the restaurant, Mr. Albert, personally came to our table. He took the time to explain the halal options available and even assured us that eggs could be prepared using separate utensils. While I was getting bread, Mr. Albert noticed and came over again, kindly asking if I would like my eggs prepared then. He immediately instructed the chef to prepare eggs and nuggets for me and told me to sit comfortably while he arranged everything to be brought over. His thoughtfulness and proactive service left a lasting impression. It’s rare to see such initiative and care, and it made me feel confident that I had chosen the right hotel. I will definitely recommend Grand Hyatt Melbourne to my family and friends. The hotel is fortunate to have a staff member like Mr. Albert—he truly deserves recognition for his outstanding hospitality.

My brief one-night stay at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne left a positive impression. The hotel exudes a classic, luxurious feel, evident from the grand lobby to the well-appointed rooms. The location is undeniably excellent, placing you right in the heart of Melbourne's CBD with easy access to shopping and dining. While a short stay limited my ability to fully explore all amenities, the service was professional and efficient. The room was comfortable and considered quiet, ensuring a restful night. Overall, the Grand Hyatt Melbourne offers a reliable and upscale experience for those seeking a central and comfortable stay.

Location is really good. Hotel room has aged and need a good upgrade to stay as 5 stars!
