Seaview Hotels in Melbourne

"The night receptionists were great, with excellent service. The location is in Zone 2, and you can catch a ride right outside the corner, though for a group, taking an Uber to the city center might be more cost-effective. The hotel's design meant that none of the bathroom doors had locks. In our first room, the bathroom door was semi-transparent with a large gap on the side, making it uncomfortable and awkward since there were four of us sharing the room. After speaking with the staff, we were moved to another room with a solid wooden bathroom door, which was much better. However, the new room's lighting was very dim, and some power outlets were loose; even their own lamp would fall out. The small cooking light in the kitchen was also broken. The towel rack in the bathroom was attached to the ceiling, but the ceiling around it was cracked and looked like it was about to fall, which felt quite dangerous. One day, I requested room cleaning and left a note asking them not to make the bed, but the staff didn't even empty the bathroom trash; instead, they left a trash bag for me to change myself.... There were only two tissues left, and they weren't refilled. When I went down to the reception, the staff said they could only make a note to refill them tomorrow, as they didn't have any immediately available. There was no phone in the room, so I had to go to the front desk myself to find staff. Each shift only had one receptionist, so usually, I'd have to wait 10-15 minutes while they dealt with other guests, which was ridiculous. It's not that the staff are bad, but they are severely understaffed! Also, because there was a kitchen but no cooking utensils, when I asked the front desk, the receptionist had to personally bring a set up... they're clearly too busy!"

"This hotel seriously lacks everything. They don't provide water; you have to buy it yourself. They only give you one pair of slippers, and if you ask for more, they flat-out refuse. The bathroom only has bath towels—no hand towels or large towels at all. The kitchen floor was incredibly sticky when we walked in, like it hadn't been mopped. Forget about any welcome fruit. The TV only has YouTube, and the Bluetooth speaker wouldn't connect. The location is a bit out of the way. The only positives are that it's quiet and the bedding is decent. Honestly, for this price, you're better off staying in the city center. The Park Hyatt isn't much more expensive and is superior in every way. I really regret switching to this place just for a suite."

"The hotel is clean and very busy during the morning time. Dont say about the reception area because it just too crowded. The fact that they provide luggage storage before check in also very helpful for us. The only cons is the hotel is too busy and full with people, there were people open/close the door non stop for 10minutes with loud voices in front of our room around 5pm."

"We hired a 1 Bed Premier suite - and it was a fantastic stay, Make sure you have internet access to check your email, as you need to pay the security deposit before you get access to check in (fully refunded if no damage) Had a large outside deck area with couches and table setting, not to mention the fantastic views. Inside is well equipped, with full kitchen, washing machine/ dryer available. TV in lounge and bedroom area. There is no onsite parking, however we found no problem in finding street parking just outside the building. Just be mindful if you're visiting from another country, what the parking signs mean (we had to get locals to translate for us, haha). My only suggestions would be; A spare blanket and extra pillows in the bedroom cupboard Time to upgrade the sofa as the support in the middle has gone Would book again with no hesitation."

"It was a lovely stay, I was here for the F1 weekend, and it was my first time travelling solo. The homeowner Melissa was an absolute sweetheart, and the room was very spacious, very beautiful architecture, beautiful place with an outdoor garden. Would definitely recommend! And also wouldn't mind coming here again to explore this cute little suburb of Williamstown."
