More than a dozen refugees have reportedly been released from Australian immigration detention facilities, including from Melbourne's Park Hotel.

The refugees were reportedly released on Friday night from centres in Victoria, NSW, and Queensland.

Advocates say 10 people staying at Melbourne's Park Hotel were among those released.

The Department of Home Affairs has declined to confirm the reports, with a spokesperson saying it would not comment on individual cases.

It comes three weeks after 13 refugees were released from detention centres in Melbourne and Brisbane.

At the time, advocates said nine men were released from the Park Hotel, along with one other in Broadmeadows and three men in Brisbane.

Park Hotel detainee, Iranian refugee Mehdi Ali, was also resettled in the United States last month, after nine years in detention.

The Park Hotel gained national attention in January when tennis champion Novak Djokovic was briefly detained there.

Djokovic was ultimately deported on the eve of the Australian Open after the Federal Court upheld the immigration minister's decision to cancel his visa.
