What guests think

At Nightcap at Matthew Flinders Hotel, travellers highlight friendly, helpful staff, generally very clean rooms, and a convenient location near trains, shopping and dining, with many also noting good value and straightforward onsite parking.

Rooms are comfortable and basic, with some spacious layouts, but several reviews note weak air conditioning, dated or faulty TVs, and minor maintenance issues. Noise is a recurring concern, from thin walls, upstairs footsteps and road traffic to occasional late events at the adjoining venue that disrupted sleep. Guests appreciate the attached bistro, room service pub meals, and discounts or welcome drinks, though a few reported inconsistent food quality. Overall, this is a practical base for value seekers who can tolerate some noise and small maintenance niggles.

The room is nice for a couple nights stay, not the fanciest, but very generous with the housekeeping (rooms cleaned daily) and free bites (we got two free drink vouchers and some free toasties on our way out). The addition of free onsite parking is a big help as overnight parking in the city can easily add up in cost. the hotel is located 5 min walk from the train station which can get you into the heart of the cbd in ~45mins (on train, no changes). Chadstone shopping centre is a 6 min drive away so there is always plenty of variety of restaurants close by. Overall this hotel is VERY high on the value for money scale.

Honestly, the standard of cleanliness & service matched that of a 5* hotel. The staff were really welcoming & friendly so check in/out was seamless. My room was absolutely spotless & I had the best nights sleep on that super comfy mattress! It was also surprisingly quiet for the location. The attention to detail was impressive. There’s even a folder with the menu, general info & a list of local attractions & eateries which would be perfect for travellers unfamiliar with the area. I highly recommend this hotel & I’ll definitely stay again!

The rooms are quite good but need minor maintenance items attended to - toilet roll holder, light globe blown, damaged iron that I was too scared to use on my clothes.. The kettle was very dirty - inside and out. There is a bit of noise from Warragul Rd. No toaster or microwave. It was convenient to Chadstone and freeways.

It can be loud at night but by 11pm it was pretty quiet. People in the room next to us were unusually loud. Their kid screamed all day and evening and they just acted like he wasnt. Not the hotels fault but the walls are a little thin.

However the only disappointment was the staff who checked me in, she clearly hated her job and didn’t want to be there, seriously unfriendly and unpleasant. Overall will be back again in future!
