What guests think

Across reviews, City Park Hotel is praised for a convenient location near trams, Albert Park and the convention centre, and some guests find it affordable and adequate for an overnight stay, but many note dated spaces and inconsistent standards.

Service feedback is mixed: several praise helpful, welcoming staff, while others report limited front desk hours, brusque or unresponsive management, surprise bond requests and difficulty checking in. Cleanliness and maintenance draw recurring complaints, including mould, stains, pests and plumbing or hot‑water problems, though a few note clean, quiet rooms. On facilities, on-site parking is convenient but some report break-ins, in-room TVs feel outdated and information about amenities can be inaccurate. Expect a budget, location-led stay with variable quality.

Information on the wotif confirmation email was incorrect: it said the front desk was open until 11pm. When I phoned at 8:30pm I was told it was about to close and I needed to get there quickly! We had to leave our concert early to check in. Also, when I phoned the previous day I was told parking for an extra car was $10 and when we arrived I was about to be charged $20 until I showed the phone record. The room was adequate, bed comfortable, linen clean. The shower taps were very difficult to turn, but the water pressure was great.

We booked here so we could walk to the Sydney Myer Music Bowl for a concert. Advertised 'premium cable tv' (outdated info) it was an old Chanchong analog TV with about 6 channels - no HD channels. Asked about replacement the guy at the reception said angrily he is 'sick of people complaining about the TV' - I'm sorry who doesn't have HD TV's these days. The fridge was broken and there was no replacement, they offered to put our food in their fridge though we wouldn't have any access to it until morning, so we wrapped in a wet towel on the bench for the night. Enquired about getting another room, and was told that the motel was booked out, there's 44 rooms and only 6 cars in the car park at 11.30pm. The female receptionist was very rude saying 'what do you expect when you only pay $147.00 after Expedia take their commision, the parking is worth $25 a night.' Yes it is cheap for Melb, and we didn't expect perfect for this price, though they advertise one thing and deliver another, I am entitled to question it. The bed was ok, only good thing. Dining chairs were stained and very saggy, something lumpy stuck on side of the dining table, the bedside table had wax? on it, rubbish bin hadn't been emptied, no exhaust fan in the bathroom, everything was damp after a shower. We were offered a refund of their cost $147 and then we go and find another motel, this was at 6pm, so finding another motel wasn't an option. Their attitude was 'thats what's there, take it or leave it.

This place in need a a massive upgrade. For the price we paid for the night, it really wasn't that nice. There were cobwebs in the bathroom, mould in the grout, stains in the bath (spa bath- i imagine the jets would be filthy too), blood or other on the top of the doona (under the sheet/cover). The beds and pillows were also average. On a positive note the location to the tram and soon to be new station at ANZAC Station was handy. Reception staff were also friendly.

The room was okay, the reception on the tele was poor and the bathroom could do with a deep clean, mouldy grout and a stained bath, the bed moved a bit due to being on rollers! The lift was good and the check in process was okay, bit of a battle trying to get into the place due to cranes and trucks, but for the money it served a purpose

位於城市邊緣，價錢比市中心的酒店便宜很多，附近有電車可以前往市中心，性價比很高。不過要留心前台服務時間，只有早上9時開始才會有職員服務，晚上8時左右會不在前台櫃位，check-in 必須打電話叫他下來。官方服務時間9am-9pm，要check-in 就必須留意！對於想要節省旅費的人士，這間酒店是不錯的選擇。
