Oaks Melbourne on William Suites

Convenient location near transport, shopping, and dining. Helpful staff and efficient check-in/out. New gym facilities, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedding with impressive views.

We stayed here for four nights. 1. The staff is courteous. 2. Perhaps it's due to the Oaks brand, but the hotel has a strong scent of aromatherapy throughout. 3. The room is spacious, but overall it shows some wear and feels a bit old. 4. The location is convenient, right next to Flagstaff Station. There’s a convenience store (very expensive) and Chemist Warehouse nearby. 5. If you want to use the parking facility, you must make a reservation in advance. 6. Laundry costs AUD4, drying costs AUD4, and laundry powder costs AUD2. The washing takes about 30 minutes, and drying takes about 40 minutes. 7. Aside from toothpaste and a toothbrush, all other amenities are provided including body lotion. If you need more, you can ask the front desk. However, there is no daily room cleaning service, so you need to take out the trash yourself if necessary. 8. Interestingly, the room we booked was already with a garden view, but they said they upgraded me to garden view (with the same room type). They must have made a mistake of upgrade 😆 9. TV is without youtube nor Netflix.

Got a room that faces Flagstaff garden - beautiful sunset view. Tram and train station is right at the doorstep, and Queen Victoria market couple of mins walk. Perfect location!
