Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful fully equipped modern apartment in great location. Room spacious and great views from our corner room on 23rd floor. All modern amenities and very comfortable bed with great bathroom. Designer toiletries and the staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. I think this is a great option in Melbourne and will now be our go to stay when we next visit. Thanks for an exceptionally comfortable stay Meriton. Perfect"

Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall excellent. Great location and had a quiet-corner 1 bedroom apartment which was clean & spacious with kitchenette. Two things to watch out for here: 1. Check-in (approx 2.30pm) took forever with a massive line of people and only 2 staff on the front counter which was annoying after many, many hours of travel. On a busy afternoon, you won't get much change out of 45 mins for check-in. 2. You cannot phone reception from your room and have to visit the front desk in person for any issues, questions or requests that arise during your stay. This is incredibly annoying, especially as there consistently seemed to be a solid lineup at reception for both check-ins and general queries. You can try just phoning the hotel number from your phone, but even when I tried that there was no answer. Apart from those 2 shortcomings the room itself was most excellent and reasonably priced, and I will definitely stay again."
