The lighting was difficult for applying make-up--too many shadows. The shower was not good for us--too much water on the floor and too slippery. Were we in a handicap room? The location was peaceful with parks and easy access to public transportation.

"next to the airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 19, 2013
perfect for when flying out and they have a bus to the airport which is within walking distance if required.Food in restaurant was good but a bit overpriced. The service in the restaurant was just average.
very good I thought staff were very friendly and helpfulGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay"
A good location, just a 10 minute walk from the CBD. We had a one bedroom apartment which was spacious and well equipped. There was a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs. Reception was excellent, friendly and efficient staff. No problem to store bags after checking out. Would not hesitate to recommend this as a good place to stay in Melbourne, with […] the proviso that it is not a full service hotel, ie no restaurant etc, but as a self catering option, excellent. There is a very good Italian restaurant just a couple of minutes walk away called Lucattini's. (in Punch Lane) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good place to stay in Melbourne"
Our rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The heating was great and the kitchen really good, except some of the crockery was dirty when I got it out of the cupboard. Not enough tea bags were provided There was only one couch to sit on and with four people there wasn't enough seating to watch TV or just relax. We ordered our dinner in […] with the service provided by the hotel. Our meals were delivered promptly and were delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Great location for the Princess Theartre to see Moonshadow. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great Hotel in the heart of the city!"
Great hotel. Handy location, so easy to walk into the mail, jump on a train or walk to the MCG. The hotel staff were so friendly. They offered us directions to get to places and even offered to book sporting tickets for us. And the room got cleaned daily and all linen replaced which was lovely!! And the room was very spacious. I strongly recomend this […] hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"great hotel! except for one incident..."
hotel was excellect! stayed in a 1 bed apartment, looked like something from a magazine & was quite cumfy. bathroom was good size. staff were really good except for one. i had checked out in the morning and paid for internet (which was a little expensive, but not a big deal) with my bank card and the gentleman at reception forgot to give me my card […] back and i was too focused on putting bags in the luggage room and signing out to notice. i didnt realise my card was missing until later that night when i went to take money out. i went straight back to the hotel & they couldnt find it anywhere. the girl at reception (who was really kind and helpful, could not fault her at all!) said that she hadnt been told anything and when they find a card they usually keep it in a certain spot and phone the person. well as the card couldn't be found i phoned to cancel the card. just after i had cancelled it, they found the card, but unfortunatelly the cancellation had already gone through. thankfully the person i was staying with still had some cash on them & i had put a little bit of money aside otherwise i dont know what i would have done because we would not have been able to get home (bank was closed & we were from interstate). i think it's disgraceful that he did not call to tell me my card was there! i dont know if its was because he was just lazy or cause im younger he thought it wasnt a big deal, but it is & either way its still bad customer service. apart from that it was quite good.

"Excellent"
We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was spacious and Clean. Also we had the advantage of a balcony looking onto other highrise buildings this was a bonus as their were no traffic noises throughout the night. If we had a balcony onto the road towards the park it would have been noisy. If you like a quiet sleep ask for balcony room overlooking […] buildings not the road or park. If you prefer a view remember the traffic noise at night. We would return to this property again. Only disadvantage is that it doesn't have a pool or gym or restaurant. However there is room service available (not breakfast), and the property is close to many restaurants. Very convenient to the Exhibition Building and Museum and Musical Theatres. Very Close to Parliament Station. Reasonably priced too. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good location"
The stay was great, hotel fine, however the people who booked next door partied most of Saturday night & played loud music then again early in the morning i.e. 4am when they arrived home from their night clubbing. There was also several people in the room at the one time making a lot of noise. We wondered who was on the front desk at the time.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Well appointed apartment in the heart of Melbourne"
This hotel had everything we were looking for; closeness to the shops, restaurants & public transport, large well appointed apartment and helpful, friendly staff on reception. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend to others visiting Melbourne.Genuine Expedia guest review

"A must place to stay in Melbourne"
Overall service was fantastic. Beautiful 1 bed room apartment with laundry and kitchen facility. Both Room and Living room has got TV. Very near to all amenities. Next to hotel theres a convenient store, which is very convenient if you need to get milk and they also sell liquor. The only sad side about this apartment is that, no wifi in all rooms, you […] need to go to reception counter for Wifi service. Hopefully they could improve that soon. Will surely go back to Oaks on Lonsdale when Im back to Melbourne. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Stayed in a one bedroom apt, very much worth the extra few $ as the room size was great! Very spacious. Overall I really enjoyed the hotel, there was just a few minor complaints that take the hotel down a few notches.. One being the shower, dreadful shower, has one of those glass screens that is about as long as half your arm, so water covers the floor. […] Secondly one of the female staff members continually had a rod up her bum and was rude and unpleasent to talk to. And lastly, two single beds pushed together is not a king bed... Luckily the bed was still pretty compfy :) Would recommend to all, great location, couple of blocks to the main street and around the corner was the free tram, half a block on from that was another main tram stop. But you dont need trams, everything is close enough to walk to. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"good value"
I always enjoy staying at Oaks on Lonsdael.. but this time noticed that the walls either need a really good clean or paint, and the lounge suite was also stained and needed a clean. This aside... the room was clean, very comfortable, and the service excellent. I will definately use this hotel again, but hope they put some time into cleaning as mentioned […] above.

"Home away from home"
We stayed in the one bedroom apartment on the 16th floor for 3 nights. The apartment was very spacious, much more than we expected. We were told it's the largest apartment in term of floor space on the whole complex. The view of the city is fabulous from our apartment. The location is perfect for our purpose. It was quiet & extremely comfortable. The […] security is excellent. A home away from home. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Fantastic location and great apartment"
I had a 1br apartment on 25th floor - nice and quiet but could hear/see the city from the balcony. Fantastic knowledgeable staff and the quality of the room was above average, and to my surprise included a fully equipped kitchen. Walking distance to a bunch of major sights, but also just a couple of steps to the metro train station and the free tourist […] bus. Easily the best hotel I have stayed in and would stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location, Great apartment, Helpful service."
We loved the Oaks on Lonsdale, our apartment was lovely, the staff were helpful and the appliances were great (smeg oven was awesome). the location was also wonderful. Our only complaint would be the unexpected delivery fee of $6.80 for room service, not sure how you get room service, if its not delivered? but other than that it was a lovely hotel and […] our stay was great.

"A Maybe"
We would have liked to have had a small dining table in the room, even a folding one to eat meals instead of eating them on our knees on the bed. We had a fire evacuation and it was disappointing to see No staff advising or assisting anyone, once we got down the 20 flights of stairs still no advise from staff. A little disappointing thereGenuine Expedia guest review
"Oaks on Lonsdale not too bad"
We stayed in the 1 bedroom apartment. It was quite spacious, fairly modern but nothing that flash. We asked for a king size bed but ended up with 2 singles; the join between the 2 beds was annoying. We had a problem with the room key cards not working properly. Always took a few attempts; very annoying! didn't need to use the room key card to use the […] lifts (wasn't working) and the after hour door was kept open for anyone to use as it was out of order too. I was a little concerned about the security. Room was nicely cleaned and service was average. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Oaks on Lonsdale"
Our two bedroom apartment was clean, neat and was serviced daily. It was not obvious from any signage where we were to put dirty towels that needed replacing. The airconditioning was only in the family/living area making the bedrooms very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in (even in only 30 degree weather). Overall, an enjoyable stay that provided good […] value for money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to say"
overall a great place to stay, clean, good service. was not that impressed when the cleaners took away the sachet of laundry powder, reception could sell me another one for $1 - the sort of thing I'd expect from a backpackers not a serviced apartment of this level. I don't think one sachet of complementary laundry detergent per stay is too much to ask […] for. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Everything was great but don't get the studio..."
The hotel was great and the staff was very accomodating. In hindsight however I woudl not get the studio but upgrade to the 1 bed apartment. The incremental cost is well worth it for the space and the view.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Oaks On Lonsdale"
The only thing we werent happy with was that the parking was $20 a night... its a bit much considering we were staying in the hotel. we traveled from perth to sydney and stopped along the way and this hotel was the only one where we had to pay for parking our car. otherwise- no complaints at all... excellent for city life and sites!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Oaks on Lonsdale"
Location good, no pool was a let down, the studio rooms were a let down! However the apartment rooms were awsome. The rooms on the 29 floor were fantastic. Overall very good. Not the hotel to choose if your looking for nice lobby, bar restaurant etc but the room was awsome and location very Central. Staff were great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Have stayed at this place a number of times now, its comfy, and staff were efficient. The one bedroom units are spacious and I like the fact you can open the windows and balcony doors and get some fresh Melbourne air. My only issue on this visit was that I accidentally locked my room key in room and could not gain access after a late night out - there […] was no emergency security number to call, so I spent the night walking the streets - a bit of a trap, I'm sure I'm not the first to do it. look fwd to staying here again.

"The big room makes it ......."
It's kind of best off in regard of location. I've had a very large appartment with a nice view, that makes it worthwile a stay. Otherwise, the service is bad, the receptionist wasn't there upon my arrival (I had to call via my home country, no tel provided there. They don't know how to clean. Internet services, which you have to pay for, is absolutely […] "monkey business". After you downloaded 200MB (allthough you've paid for 24 hours), they reduce the speed. Also, to tell you this, the connection is cut off, until you agree on the new and lower speed, or put up with paying more. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Great position and fabulous views on the 18th floor. Very close to trams, buses and trains. Handy grocery store next door as well. So many places to eat and things to see in a couple of block radius.

The hotel itself was lovely, great location, pricing etc. We were on a higher level and the wind created quite a loud noise which was a negative, but overall the room was quite nice.

"Hotel Oaks on Lonsdale in Melbourne"
Loved the view from the room - city lights at night (high floor). This is the reason why we picked the room, to see the lights from the bedroom - studio room worked well for this. Comfortable bed. Close to a free tourist bus and tram stop, which gives access to the rest of the CBD. Close to explore the east Fitzroy and Lygon St, even on foot. Not too […] far to walk to China town and Bourke St mall. Great kitchenette. Could really do with a small table and 2 chairs, to sit and eat. Very courteous and helpful staff.

"Great Location and Idea However Wost Bed EVER!!!!"
I had a studio apartment for 2 nights and the location looks a little intimidating when you arrive however it was within walking distance of most things...Upon arrival to hotel staff was friendly and room was small but clean for 1 person it was perfect for 2 would be a little cramped. I was on the 27th floor and views were amazing. I can't imagine if […] someone was staying in the studio next to me how it would have been as I tried napping upon my arrival and housekeeping was extremly noisy so I made a point of calling to ensure noone was staying in the room while i was there. Management should make a point of turning on air conditioning before arrival as the room was extremely cold and took me for ever to warm up later that day. If anything the Management really needs to invest in new linens and beds i would not stay here again just for that reason probably the worst bed I have slept in since university (which was a long time ago) I think the floor would have been more comfortable and the linens were old and cheap. Overall if you are only in town for a night or two it is a great location but don't bank on a great sleep. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
