A perfect stay in the heart of Melbourne - Sofitel Melbourne on Collins - Room 4506 We stayed in room 4506 and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The hotel is wonderful: modern but at the same time comfortable and classic. You can see the Sofitel brand's attention to detail everywhere. The room is spacious, bright, with a stunning city view. What impressed us most was how quiet it was: perfect soundproofing despite the central location. Individually adjustable temperature, very comfortable bed. Complete amenities with coffee machine, kettle, bathrobes. Marble bathroom, not newly renovated but of high quality and very well maintained, with a bathtub with a glass shower screen and Byredo bath products - a lovely touch. The service is truly 5-star plus. Cordial, helpful and highly professional staff, from reception to the restaurant. A small but appreciated detail: umbrellas available for guests at reception. Breakfast deserves a special mention: it is the highlight of the hotel. Products of the highest quality. The croissant and brioche counter perfectly reflects the French style of the brand, plus fresh fruit, fresh juices and a wide à la carte menu with different egg preparations and other hot options. A special thank you to Alfie, our waiter at breakfast: attentive, kind and highly professional. Finally, as we had a night flight, we greatly appreciated the kind possibility of using the gym's changing rooms and showers for a refresh and change of clothes before departure - an invaluable service. Highly recommended for CENTRALITY and QUALITY. A guarantee. We will definitely be back.

Following our memorable visit in 2025, Sofitel Melbourne on Collins was an easy choice for our family trip back to Melbourne this year. As an ALL Platinum member, coordinating my booking through the app and via email with my previous hotel contact was seamless; the team went above and beyond to maximize our benefits. We greatly appreciated the complimentary room upgrade with breathtaking high-floor views. The Club Millésime experience was fantastic, featuring delightful evening cocktails, refined canapés, and exceptional service. With its prime central location close to all shopping and dining, along with superb culinary selections in the restaurant, our stay was nothing short of perfection. Highly recommended!

It's fine. Which isn't what you want for a 5 star hotel. Breakfast is ok (but get fresh cooked eggs if you want them hot), amenities are ok but not amazing, rooms are nice and the location is great. Staff can be amazing and can be lazy depending on what day it is. Overall its a 4 start hotel with a 5 star price tag

We stayed at the Sofitel on Collins for six nights. We were upgraded to a Riverview room on a high floor. The room was clean andwell appointed bathroom was okay. Would’ve preferred a walk-in shower bed was comfy. We had access to the executive lounge which we visited most nights, which very appealing. Staff were very friendly and food was flavoursome. We didn’t eat in the main dining room but we eat in the executive room for which we thoroughly enjoyed and the food was exceptional. All the staff were curious and the hotel is well located.

I stayed for three nights while in Melbourne for a conference and really enjoyed my stay. I was fortunate enough to receive an upgrade to a much larger suite, and it was fantastic. The room was incredibly spacious, with separate dining and living areas, a good-sized bathroom and a very comfortable bed. I also had great views over the park and towards the MCG. The hotel delivered exactly the kind of experience I expect from Sofitel. It felt luxurious throughout and made for a very comfortable place to come back to after a day at the conference. One of the highlights was breakfast in the Club Lounge. It was a real treat, particularly having a great menu with dishes available to order. I didn't get the opportunity to try the evening canapés, unfortunately, so I'll have to save that for another stay. The location was another big plus. There are plenty of coffee shops nearby, along with lots of convenient options for a quick meal around the ground floor. Overall, a fantastic stay. Spacious room, extremely comfortable bed, great views, excellent breakfast and a very convenient location. I'd definitely stay again.
