The hotel was lovely, new and clean and the staff were very friendly. Excellent location and surroundings. Unfortunate though some services were not available and on the website stated otherwise. No door bell hoppers, no 24 hour front desk, bar was not open until late, and a fire evacuation at 2am with no fire brigade called or staff assisting and in attendance was very concerning!

Overall great as usual
We had another great stay at the Dorsett with one exception. We had to evacuate the building at 2.30am on the second night. We still don’t know the reason for it but it was not nice to be wakened like that. I know it is not entirely under the control of the hotel but it wasn’t a pleasant experience nonetheless.

Very Nice Hotel but Poor Communication
The hotel is located in the central business district with access to the city tram close. The hotel is high tech and they do not tell you about any of it. We purchased breakfast then had a flight time change that made the second day unusable. We missed out on the full breakfast options the first morning because we did not notice the QR code sticker on the table top which allowed you to order eggs/omelettes the way you want them. The QR code is easy to miss and no one points it out. The coffee machines are also poor since they very slowly produce only a half cup of regular coffee. The hotel offered nothing such as a credit for the unused breakfast. As a Hotels.com VIP, a free bottle of wine was also to be provided, but was not until sometime in the morning of the second day after answering a Hotels.com checkin evaluation that we had not received it. The delivery happened when we were gone from 11am to 12:30am the following day on a tour, so we could no longer take advantage of the wine and simply returned the bottle. They also delivered the wine to the room when we had "do not disturb" turned on so they shoukdvnot have entered. So there were quite a few issues that were minor overall, but taken together detracted from our stay. Hotel staff were polite but offered nothing other than applogies to make things "right."

1 night stay
We checked in late and the checkin was slow and clumsy. In fairness I think he was new.
We were meant to have a bottle of wing on the room which was not there.
In the morning we were disturbed by housekeeping twice was before 9am and the second time just before 10. Check out time was 11am.
Overall is comfy but service was lacking.

Overnight stay
We had the pleasure of choosing the Dorset beautiful hotel very contemporary staff lovely really helpful the only thing we didn’t like was we we had information saying the him bar was open until 22.30 at 9.30 I asked for a cocktail and was refused as he said he was closing but didn’t close until 10pm very disappointing also for the price we paid I would have expected at least a few biscuits in the room for morning coffee

We had a great time stayed at Dorsett Melb. The room is big and bathroom shower is clean with strong hot water, I care these very much. If front desk staff could provide smile or friendly customer service while attending to the guests, that would be great.
