Rowville International Hotel

First the good stuff. Parking was easy and right outside my room- good during the rainy season. The desk clerks were nice and pleasant. The bed was clean and the room itself was clean. I used the fridge, kettle and the hair dryer, and these were fine. The not so good stuff: the carpet was torn, the shower plumbing leaked and sprayed from a connection point down low, the locks on the door were non-functional (door chain with both parts screwed into the door frame instead of one part on the actual door, and a turn lock that did nothing). The worst was my room was apparently double booked so strangers were trying to get in late at night. I told them through the door that it was occupied but they came back with a clerk that proceeded to open the door until I spoke up again. The clerk quickly apologized and left but I ended up moving a chair to block the door just for some mental comfort while I slept. It was expensive for how outdated and rundown the interior was but maybe I'm just not used to Aussie prices yet. The walls are thin enough I could hear neighbors watching tv and chatting. I brought my white noise machine just in case, so I could sleep undisturbed and was glad I did. It looks much nicer in the picture.

Clean, Quiet, comfortable and well located to access two major transport portals. Dated from the 80's, the RIO is looked a bit dated, but the bed provided a good nighrs sleep and the cost compared to other nearby hotels was nearly half.. if yiu just want somewhere convenient to the outer easten suburbs of Melbourne, then consider the Rowville International Hotel.

Aging facilities

The room was ok. The Mattress on the beds was shocking and needs to be thrown out . You could feel the springs and it was uneven affecting the sleep quality. Soft sagging some places and firmer in the middle . They also had notice there that rooms are only cleaned every 3 days so this may affect people staying more than a day. You cannot also get towels etc after 6.30pm

This is not a hotel. Just room rental. Reception limited opening times. Contact phone adverted outside on reception no working, probably not even existing .No breakfast. No restaurant, no nothing
