The room was clean but previous occupants had left their mark, cigarette burns, broken mirror, broken ironing board etc- didn’t cause me any issues but I felt awful for the staff as I have stayed at this hotel previously and it had been excellent

Both TVs not watchable due to Issues with the remotes. Shower head sprsying water on to the ceiling which then dripped back cold onto your body. Very uncomfortable.

Overall a bit dated but didn’t mind as it was very roomy and very clean. No noise complaints at all. Heaps of dining options in the area, bus stop out the front. Nice walk to Rod laver. Parking was a bit tight with a hilux but seen worse and that’s to be expected. Would highly recommend
The room was clean. I dont think it was worth the money. We would not have stayed there if we were told straight up that there was no way we could possibly check in a little bit earlier than 2pm
They closed the door to the bedroom so the AC couldn't cool it - it was a very hot day. I cancelled and booked with another hotel. I'm hoping they keep their promise to refund me.
The property was in a great position for China Town, the Greek quarter and for Melbourne Museum.There is a bus stop in front, or the free tram about a 5minute walk from property allowing for easy access to the city and Docklands.
Compared to other Oaks properties we have stayed in, this one felt more tired.
The kitchen area had lots of cupboard space and there were many appliances, but crockery and cutlery were basic and limited in number.
The bathroom looked the most tired. The shower was good and the bath had rails to assist access.
The beds were comfy and good wardrobe space.
The whole staff group were very welcoming and willing to assist with queries.
It was a lovely stay and we would recommend for a short stay.
I have stayed at many Oaks properties and this was one of the worst experiences. Upon arrival, I was advised the room wasn’t ready so I stored my bags. I returned later in the afternoon to check in and was given a room with the wrong bedding arrangement. When I advised staff they told me “Oh we’ll push the beds together, give us 1-2hrs to get it ready”. I said no as it was already 2hrs after check in time and the room we booked should have been ready. We were tired from the flight and did not want to wait another 1-2hrs. We were given a different room, however the wifi access did not work as the room had not been changed to our names. The room itself was outdated, there were holes in the couch and very dirty furniture. The most alarming part was the hairdryer which had a sticker over the switch showing “Danger, do not use!” Which was dated early September 2024. There should not be appliances that are a danger kept in rooms for 6 months. This also meant that the appliances advertised for the room were not actually available. Simple maintenance activities should be kept up to scratch. Upon check out, the staff member was rude and dismissive. I had my luggage stored for approx 1hr and when I returned to retrieve it as I was heading to the airport, she asked me to wait at the door of the storage room and then proceeded to initiate a phone call so I had to wait until she was done. Other than being a convenient location, I would not recommend staying here.
The oaks on Lonsdale was situated in a very good location, close to the tram stop, station, theatre district, dining areas and shopping area.
Our one bedroom was spacious and comfortable. We had a very enjoyable stay.
Close to Parliament station for trains and teams; within free tram city circle; IGA supermarket next door; lots of restaurants within walking distance.
