The Dorsett Hotel was perfect for our weekend away to celebrate our son's 18th birthday. The staff (in particular Jake) was so kind to check us in early and also suprised my son with wine, chocolates and a hand written birthday card. A lovely gesture. The hotel itself is in a great location, the room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the pool and sauna. I would recommend and definitely stay again.

Lovely clean and spacious room. Attractive bathroom with large shower. There was no filtered water in the fridge as listed on what was included, and ice bucket with ice never arrived. The staff were welcoming and caring. The free bottle of wine was greatly appreciated.

We booked an Executive King with Balcony and Breakfast included for three nights, the room was located on Level 7 close to pool, steam and spa amenities. The room was comfortable and the bed was great, I like low pillows which they tried to assist with, the hotel is centrally located and a close walk to Spencer Street Station and Marvel Oval. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for 2 to 3 nights. The staff were lovely and accommodating.

The location is great and convenient. Decor is fancy and staff are friendly. Just the bathroom smell a bit and I believe the smell is from the drain. The breakfast is lack of choices. I would say save your money from the breakfast in the hotel and go to lune croissanterie at the corner.
