"We were attending a wedding in the area so this Motel was in a convenient location. Ensuite very tiny and if we were large built people, we would have had trouble using the toilet as there was a wall 12 inches away from the toilet seat. Otherwise the place was great. "

"I had a very cheap room without a window, I knew that when I booked so it was no surprise but it was somewhat claustraphobic and I would probably go for a room with a window next time. That said it was very quiet and dark so good for sleeping. The AC kept the room at a comfortable temperature and the shower was excelent, constant temperature and flow. Bed was firm. Overall the room was very clean. 950 metre walk to the National Theatre which puts this hotel in close proximity to that venue...

"My stay at Oakwood exceeded expectations. The hotel’s location near the Melbourne Convention Centre was ideal, and the team were consistently friendly and helpful. The condition of both the hotel and my room was very modern, clean, and very comfortable. It was also a bonus to have a superette conveniently located within the hotel. At times the Wi-Fi connection was patchy and I wasn’t made aware of their pickup airport transfer service at the time of booking (which would have been handy)."

"Quiet, clean and close to where we needed to be. Room is spacious. Shower just needs to be redesigned, as water was going everywhere, floor mat soaking. The mini fridge needs to be colder, it’s not even making my drink cold at all. Other than that, the place is good."

Right in the CBD with excellent customer service

"Second time within 6 months to stay at the Victoria Hotel as love the closeness to the CBD, trams and train stations. Always find the staff provide excellent customer service (frontline & Service staff)."

5/5 Excellent

"The room was spacious, clean and had nearly everything I thought it needed. My only suggested addition would be a couple of towel rails in the bathroom so towels could be hung up after use and reused the next day, rather than having to be replaced each day. The breakfast was quite good (and good value for $15), but I would have liked to see some fresh fruit and a greater variety of hot food. (Scrambled eggs and baked beans were the only hot items.) I would be happy to pay $20 for a breakfast with a greater variety of foods. The location is good for travellers who take the Skybus from Tullamarine to the city--it less than ten minutes on foot from the Skybus depot to the Atlantis. The view of the city from our room was very attractive, and access to trams to the city and beyond was good. For a comfortable and inexpensive hotel room, I strongly recommend the Atlantis. This will be our hotel of choice in future. "
