Melbourne Hotels with Balcony

Perfect location and nice staff. But that’s all. The room was completely different from the photos. There’s nothing like curtains to block the water from shower and the water just splashing around the toilet and the whole floor. If we knew this, we wouldn’t have booked this hotel. Location is perfect so I would recommend this hotel to people who don’t really care about shower.. Other rooms could be different and better than our room…

I stay in hotels A LOT! But except for one other occasion, I've never bothered to leave reviews. But this place is one of the more questionable hotels I've stayed at for several reasons. The hotel: - they charged my credit card the full fee a day BEFORE I checked in. They have a 24 hr cancellation period with minimal one night charge yet they still took it upon themselves to charge me before I actually checked in - very unethical - they want a photo of government issued ID. Weird, with all the crazy data breaches occurring, it's recommended private entities DO NOT store this unnecessary data, yet they still expected a copy. I didn't provide it, just let them sight it upon check in - the pics used to promote the apartments are stretched out and misleading. The actual apartment is small, very small if you consider the costs incurred - photos online make it look like there is a bathtub, (and when I called the hotel to check, the person I spoke to told me there was a bathtub) but there actually isn't any which is VERY inconvenient when travelling with a companion who can only use a tub (for accessibility reasons) - they don't do housekeeping every day. You can ask for fresh towels but goodluck getting a vacuum or dirty bin emptied. The actual apartment - there is no ducted air conditioning. On a hot day (was 35° when I checked in) I needed to blast the AC at 18° (we froze in the living area) just so cool air can seep into the bedroom and cool it down so we can sleep - the actual apartment was very dirty. Tiles had previous occupants hair on the floor, carpet is stained in multiple locations, glass doors and outside balcony railing dirty with hand prints and smudges - minimal crockery and cutlery provided. Only one drinking glass provided - no tea towel provided - phone in room not set up. Had to call reception from my mobile to report issues - oddly there are very few electrical ports in the living area. Difficult to charge devices - there is no shelving in the wardrobe, and it's difficult to tidy anything up or pack things away. Only one storage shelf and you need a ladder to access it - the railing for the wardrobe is so high, one needs to be over 7 foot to use it - to access the bathroom, one needs to go through the bedroom so it's really hard to have one person stay up while another sleeps - the bathroom doesn't have a drain so any access water needs to be mopped with the towels to avoid a slip hazard (problematic as they only give you 2 towels and don't do daily room service) - there are NO clothes hooks in the bathroom The positives: Overall the staff were pleasant and friendly. Every staff member I spoke to in person was hospitable, helpful and very kind. The blockout blinds were good and the sound proofing was great. They also accommodated late check out. I felt very disappointed as I travel to Melbourne monthly and was very disappointed to pay premium costs for accommodation but get what I consider inadequate facilities. I'd only recommend s

This apartment was ideal - it had all you would need for a week long stay - washer, dryer, dishwasher. It was larger than my sons apartment in Canada Water in London. I could stream my own things on the TV - separate bedroom and lounge area. Safe in room. Plus a super unexpected bonus the room had a balcony. I would certainly recommend this to any traveller for short or longer stays. Plus there a lovely little friendly bar just a few minutes walk and Flinders station 10 min walk. If i come back to Melbourne i would stay here for sure.

The hotel was welcoming and beautifully presented. It was so quiet and the beds are cozy. The reception service at the front desk is very good. Friendly staff..

Space is the first hostel of my trip and it’s set the bar pretty high! Staff are lovely, everywhere was always super clean, beds are comfy, towels are provided and you can even grab a fresh one every day if you wish. Location is great, would recommend the Queen Victoria Market for something to do and “pizza pizza pizza” was lush. There’s nothing “on” as such at the hostel but this didn’t bother us. The only thing that would be good is some extra fridges as they were packed full every day and it was hard to put your own food in anywhere. Would definitely come back.

Oak Melbourne on William is across the street from Flagstaff park. I have booked a double bed apartment facing the park, great view, can see sunset from the balcony. Worth the extra money, stay there 4 nights, there is no room cleaning service, but no big deal. Apartment is about 12-15 minutes walk from Skybus Express bus terminal in South Cross train station. Short walk to Victoria Market. #35 free tram stop at the corner of street, very convenient to the freeway for sightseeing. Room is clean, bed is comfortable. Have small kitchen area, can make simple meal only. It has minimum kitchen utensils, and only 1 small pot and 1 frying pen. I have problem making pasta.

First time in Melbourne and decided to stay at the Hotel Indigo as it was advertised as being newly remodeled from old Holiday Inn and my prior experience with the brand in the USA. The hotel was very clean and modern. The staff and the desk were very friendly and helpful. My room looked upon the old Victoria Railway Administration building. My room was spacious enough for me. The window was very large as you can tell from the photo, but wished the automated shade also goes bottom to top as well, so I could keep the top part open and bottom window closed for privacy at night. The breakfast at the hotel was very satisfying and provided a good start to the day. Hotel is within walking distance to Southern Cross station, where I went to the Woolworth grocery store for some items as I had stayed 5 nights at the hotel. Hotel is also walking distance to the CBD with locations like Town Hall, Chinatown, Yarra River, Art Museum not too far. All in all, had a good stay here.

Even I just spent one night in the hotel, my experience was really good, the service was amazing as the guy from reception is very friendly. The room was smaller than expected but clean that is the most important for me, 7 mins walking distance from the southern station, very convenient location.

Stayed here as a Diamond Ambassador in an iconic suite - Check in experience was great, warm welcome, benefits acknowledged and welcome drink provided. Amazing room, ridiculous amount of space, comfortable bed, great little office/working area. Unfortunately, the general level of service/care factor is lacking especially when staying in a room costing over 1k a night! One of my complimentary water bottles was open/used and about half empty, yuck. Later that day I wanted to use my $25 credit on the minibar 200ml bottle of gin (which is listed as inclusive of 4 mixers). Gin was missing from the mini bar I couldn't find it. Called down to reception to ask if it was by request, they assured me it should be there and would send someone up. Waited 2 hours and no one came which frustrated me as I was waiting so called down again and was assured someone was on the way. Someone did arrive with a huge bag full of everything except the gin. When questioned didn't seem to know what I was talking about, I had to point to it on the minibar menu and was met with a very confused expression, he left. Then about 30 minutes later a different person arrives with the gin bottle, success. However upon checkout there were a bunch of mini bar items charged which I hadn't consumed, and in fact were not even missing. I hate having to have that conversation but after only 3 words they were ”happy to remove them” which makes me think this isn't an uncommon occurrence. I later noticed that the mixers were charged as well where as they should have been included with the gin purchase cost, but I couldn't be bothered wasting my time to try and sort it out. Club lounge service was attentive but did fill up and get quite busy in the evenings however my drink was always topped up and the staff there were friendly and engaging. Temperature control seems non-existent in the room and I'm convinced it makes no difference what you set it to. I had my do not disturb on until mid morning, so as I was leaving for the day dropped by reception and said I may have missed housekeeping and could they have someone make up the room. Arrived back a few hours later and it hadn't been done. All up a real mixed bag here, but can't help feel my simple requests were a bother and inconvenience.

We had a rocky start to the apartment - booked the 2 bedroom for 4 adults for 2 nights. One of the bedrooms was locked when we checked in, had to call reception to get them to unlock it. Once it was unlocked, there was an issue with the aircon where it would switched off after turning on. Reception came upstairs and changed the battery but then told me to “use my fingernails and press hard on the on/off button”. Then the 2nd day, one of our card readers stopped working so we had to go down to reception again and get them to recode the card.. all of sudden the fire alarm went off so we had to evacuate and walk down 10 levels of stairs only to find out the alarm went off because some guests microwaved popcorn which set off the alarm. Reception staff didn’t even inform us on when to go back inside - had to rely on the fire brigade people. There are advantages to this place though - this is a carpark that you can park your car overnight for $38 per night, has basic amenities, wifi, balcony and tv. Easy walk to Chinatown, Melb central and QV. Hotel is situated on the quieter side of CBD. Would stay again however don’t expect top notch service as there is no daily housekeeping and reception staff service is average.
