At City East Motel, travelers consistently praise the convenient location near public transport and the CBD, plus free on‑site parking and budget rates, but many note dated rooms, weekend and neighbor noise, and cleanliness issues including odors and stains.
Service feedback is mixed, with several reports of friendly, accommodating staff alongside instances of indifference at reception. Breakfast promises are inconsistent, ranging from very basic to not provided. Overall, expect a no-frills, well-located budget stay with trade-offs in upkeep and quiet.

Location and parking is great. The spa room doesnt have a spa just a typical household bath. There is no breakfast as stated in the add. The bed was uncomfortable and needs replacing as do the pillows. Minimal bedding and towels provided along with very minimal bathroom products. Including the handsoap that was nearly empty. Location was worth the stay.

Had a very large size family room with a king bed, deep spa, free basic breakfast and free on-site parking, all for $140. Good location and friendly service. If you don’t expect a 5-star experience, this is a great value place to stay, especially if you require parking.

Reception was friendly and offered to store my luggage as I had arrived early. The room was clean and all facilities worked. I had an excellent night's rest. This hotel represents fantastic value for money and I would certainly stay there again. Just one minor suggestion: Perhaps put a couple of long-life milk tubs in the refrigerator for making tea?

Older style motel, but priced down accordingly, so no issues there. Free parking and a very comfortable bed made up for that too. The only issue was that there was no milk provided for the coffee/tea. So i recommend this place, also owing to the handy location, but caution you to bring your own milk.

- Liked for it's convenience... - Disliked because I ordered the Spa Room with intensions of using the spa... but found the bath plug was completely the wrong size to keep the water in, therefore could not fill the tub to use the spa... I paid extra for this luxury, but could not use it... I did go to reception to let them know & was told sorry that's the only plug! Pretty poor response, with no offer to rectify or even partially refund, considering I didn't get what I paid for... Also I suggested a hand rail be installed on the wall next to the spa as getting in & out is an accident waiting to happen, as well as a shower curtain to stop the water from going all over the bathroom floor (which in turn makes getting out of the tub, even more slippery & dangerous)... then to top it off there was absolutely no hot water on the Sunday morning before check out!

Good clean accomodation and handy to the area attractions. Also secure parking. The lack of pleasing facilities in the room meant that it was only suitable for sleeping and not conducive to kicking back and relaxing prior to going out.

The property is conveniently located just off Hoddle St. I was provided early check in which was great. The bed was comfort and made well. Good stuff stops there for this 3 Star accomodation. The room had a terrible smell which made me ill. The bathroom was in poor condition and the shower appeared particularly dirty. The paint job in the room made it seem much worse than it perhaps truly is. The live band played till midnight Saturday - pack your ear plugs if you’re not joining the fun!

I looked for a cheap motel in a decent location but it could have been cheaper. The room was awful. Burn hole in the duvet, old, worn out, quite dirty bathroom. Unfriendly staff. Blue paint on the ceiling, a domestic incident on stairwell in middle of night. Didn’t feel safe. No cleaning during the stay- shouldn’t it be an expectation that towels are changed and basic cleaning done daily? Maybe not for the price. I wouldn’t advise anyone to stay here.

Well. Where to start. I have stayed at this location for a number of years and watched it decline with each visit. What started as a good value for money convenient location has turned into a grotty venue that you want to clean first before using. Air con hasn’t worked the last two times I stayed. I went and bought an air freshener for the room as it smelt of cigarettes and dirty bathroom. It now looks like they have half way house residents and on this my final stay here had a domestic violence incident with someone ramming the front door with a shopping trolley to get in. This place needs to be closed for a good clean and refurb. In a great location but vile condition.

I had 4 nights at the motel and it was perfect for my needs and exactly what I expected. It is a great location in terms of being able to walk to Abbotsford, Richmond, Collingwood or Fitzroy pubs. The bed was good and the bathroom was fine. Not a place I'd bring my wife but perfect for a bloke having a few nights in town.

Location and parking is great. The spa room doesnt have a spa just a typical household bath. There is no breakfast as stated in the add. The bed was uncomfortable and needs replacing as do the pillows. Minimal bedding and towels provided along with very minimal bathroom products. Including the handsoap that was nearly empty. Location was worth the stay.

Had a very large size family room with a king bed, deep spa, free basic breakfast and free on-site parking, all for $140. Good location and friendly service. If you don’t expect a 5-star experience, this is a great value place to stay, especially if you require parking.

Reception was friendly and offered to store my luggage as I had arrived early. The room was clean and all facilities worked. I had an excellent night's rest. This hotel represents fantastic value for money and I would certainly stay there again. Just one minor suggestion: Perhaps put a couple of long-life milk tubs in the refrigerator for making tea?

Older style motel, but priced down accordingly, so no issues there. Free parking and a very comfortable bed made up for that too. The only issue was that there was no milk provided for the coffee/tea. So i recommend this place, also owing to the handy location, but caution you to bring your own milk.

Stated that you have breakfast included , but when asked they offered dry bread slices and milk. Pillows is so hard to sleep on and the overall cleanliness is bad. Although not that expensive not going back again.

The motel is what it is. It is an affordable option in a good location on the edge of the city. The room showed wear and tear, it isn't pretty, it is basic, there is road and train noise at night BUT if you're wanting an affordable stay very close to the city and don't intend to spend much time in your room during the day and the above issues don't matter to you then this place is fine for a couple of nights. The man at the front desk was friendly and I appreciated him staying behind to allow me to check-in after I called him to tell him my train from Canberra into Melbourne was running late but I was still on my way to check-in.

Very old and worn looking. The bed and bathroom were clean. The couch had a towel over it as the cushions were old and worn. Inexpensive and clean, but overall disappointed and would not stay there again if I returned to Melbourne.
