It's a fine line between Boutique and Butt Cheek when it comes to Hotels and this place definitely qualifies for the latter. From the time we arrived to a most indifferent and unfriendly welcome this joint went down hill from there. We'd booked two rooms for two nights via Wotif.com. To say the least, the rooms are very basic with... more

We stayed at the Hatton for our wedding night, and absolutely loved it. We chose to stay in their best (and most expensive) room which spans the width of the hotel on the first floor. The room is very large and boasts a massive private veranda as well. Its decorated in an antique asian style which is tastefully done. Breakfast... more

Unfortunately, we only had the chance to stay for one night. Really is a great find, and we will plan to use the Hatton on our next trip through Melbourne, later this year.. Staff were helpful from the moment we arrived till the time we left. The room / bathroom was spotless, with all amenities any traveller would want.(before anyone... more

One of these nice spots which you would like to find more often in big cities. Cosy and relaxed. Rooms spottless and practical. Nice breakfast place. Possiblity for your morning coffee on the terrace in the sun. Internet available for guests. Good location close to the Botanic gardens. No one will regret to stay here...! more

We stayed here for several nights in January 2008 and greatly enjoyed the place. This is not the hotel to go to if you are looking for around the clock room service or all mod cons. If you are an independent traveller and want something that is not staid and corporate, then this could be for you. It's more like... more

Recently returned from a trip to Oz having stayed in The Hatton whilst in Melbourne. Great hotel all-round really. The staff were friendly & helpful. The rooms were large with good facilities. Decor is simple & stylish with more character than those dull hotel chains. The breakfast room was fab, with a good selection of cereals, pastries & fresh fruit.... more

"a curate's egg" as they say...good in parts. The Hatton is not a boutique hotel. OK, so let's get that straight. It is a gorgeous property in the best part of Melbourne with a lovely homey feel and ambience. BUT, boutique it is not. If you think of the Ypma 'Hip' Hotel series...the Hatton would not make it in any... more

I stayed at the property for 3 nights. We came in from Hong Kong on a long flight via Sydney and arrived at around midnight. I rang the doorbell, and one of the staff came, and was friendly, but let me know that generally the doors are closed after 11pm, and to get in one needs one's own key. The... more

Rang hotel after encouraging reviews and their website information. Noted that the website did say something along the lines of "regular guests often request their favourite rooms" and this was repeated by one reviewer here. Rang hotel and asked if preference for room could be accommodated only to be told "the standard room is $195 the superior room is $220".... more
