10/10 Exceptional

We stayed while we were visiting Melbourne for football games at MCG. Its a convenient lication with good facilities both within the unit/hotel and surrounding location. Especially having 3 active boys with the park so close by for them to burn off energy.
Natalie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked how close this place is to the tram stop and it's closeness to Essendon airport. Nice a quiet as well.
Tim, 2-night trip

Very spacious and clean apartment!
Aimee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was a little mould in bathroom and the TVs in the bedrooms where extreamly small. Beside that great experience
Diana, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall this is a great property, the suite is spacious and very well appointed. The bed is huge and comfortable. It was very clean. The negatives that downgraded the final score from 5 star to 4 are... The shower over the bath is a worry, can I say especially for older people. This one got very slippery under foot without any rubber mat to get some transaction. The water temperature also had a mind of its own. The only other issue we had was that we paid for the undercover parking and when we returned from our show at about 11:00pm there was no designated parking spot available so we just had to park on the access area which blocked half of the way in which would have been very inconvenient to anyone arriving or leaving early the next morning. We also found that it was cheaper to book the parking direct with the hotel than it was to bundle it in with the room on the Expedia app.

No house keeping on Grand Final and also on the weekend, 3 days is too long. Not advertised on website.
Michael, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The Expedia site lists the reception hours with closing at 8pm 7 days per week. This is not correct, apparently they close the reception at 7pm weekdays and 5pm weekends. This was inconvenient and the Expedia site should be corrected
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Troublesome stay

No front desk staff made it troublesome to get in after hours. No after hours support on site was also troublesome especially since we are traveling internationally. Hotels.com website mentioned availability of kitchen which was non existent.

4/10 Fair

Won't be staying again

Let's start with cleanliness. The neglect and poor standard of cleaning really needs to be addressed. The build up of hair in the bathroom didn't just happen, the room clearly hasn't been cleaned properly for a long time. Surfaces need a thorough wipe down, every cup and utensil needed checking. Broken lights in every room. The fragrance on the lobby of overwhelming. I'm not sure how the staff can bare it. The beds are comfortable and clean.

We selected pay at property. Punthill called us and made us pay before we got there to check in. They said if we didnt we would lose our booking! Then they added a card surcharge for paying with a card, but paying with a card was the omly option they provided!

Reasonable value for money, clean. Were stingy with the coffee capsules & internet was glitchy for 4 days. Staff were very friendly.
Ingram, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

While central to the airport, it is a nightmare for parking. Staff friendly and place is good for price although dusty and dirty marks on sheets, the noise and chaos traffic puts me off staying available.

Puntill Melb Visit

Family visit to Melb. Room was noisy as above the busy street level and had a pugnant smell generated from the downstairs restaurant. If I stayed there again I would seek a room further away from the street and restaurant. Great central location however.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Accommodated early check in. Comfortable, clean and accessible. Walk to shops easy
Penny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Massive rooms, very clean, convenient area near airport, about 25 dollars in an Uber, thirty five minutes by tram from city centre. Late arrival after reception closed worked well but instructions could have been clearer. Otherwise all very good.
William, 2-night trip

Forgot to mention the microwave wasn't working
Danielle, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I would recommend cleaning more thoroughly between guest. There was tissues under the side table on the floor that where not ours so im going to assume the floors were not vacuum from the last guest. We also needed to lift the couch when something dropped through it. This needs to be cleaned asap, there was old squeeze yogurts and other rubbish under it. I think overall a better clean needs to be done on surfaces and especially in the bathroom in-between guest staying.

8/10 Very good

Good location. Good space in one bedroom apartment. Great bed.
Gail, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in a 1bedroom interconnected studio for a family of 4. This gave us a full-size kitchen, 2 bathrooms, in room laundry. Fantastic. Only fault was old tv’s that didn’t have Apps installed/capability so couldn’t watch a movie on demand.
Julianne, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Quite noisy especially at night. Limited parking so be sure to plan ahead.
Chawalit, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Easy drive to airport in the morning, was at airport carpark within 10 mins. Bit noisy with other guests in courtyard area at night. But had all the amentities that you need. Easy after hours check in.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super friendly and accommodating. Easy to get transport and has everything you need close by. Would definitely stay again.
Bradley, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

We arrived to check in, the man working on the desk had no idea how to operate the eftpos. It took 40 minutes to check in. Then to be told our room was not ready. It was 3pm. Checkin was at 2pm. We were unable to check in to our room until 4pm and were late for our event.
