What guests think

At The Sebel Melbourne Malvern, travellers praise the convenient location near transport and local venues, modern apartment-style rooms with full kitchens and laundry, and frequently friendly, helpful staff supporting smooth stays for business, hospital visits, events, or short breaks.

Many roadside rooms experience traffic and rail noise, and several guests note bedroom air conditioning is limited or ineffective compared with living areas. Secure, paid parking is convenient; some mention access to a gym, spa and sauna, but on-site dining is limited and after-hours support or communication has been unreliable for some stays. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few stays reported lapses and limited or no daily housekeeping. Expect self-contained apartments in a busy, well-connected area with strengths in space and convenience, but consider potential noise and lean hotel-style services.

I was given the room on level 8 facing West, on the Dandenong road side with very high volume of road traffic, trains and trams making it very noisy at night. The aircon is in the living room and after full day of summer with direct sunlight in the room after 4pm, it becomes so warm that the aircon becomes ineffective in the bedroom. All in all it becomes a nightmare with warm bedroom and traffic noise. No wonder I couldn’t sleep for even 3 hours! 2) The ratio of lifts to people/visitors using the lifts can become very unfavourable at peak times. The wait times can be significantly high. 3) The housekeeping is not done daily. The management is still hiding behind the Covid excuse, which is really a shame. Overall, never ever staying here again.

If you need assistance afterhours do not stay here. It's very noisy, air conditioning does not work often and spa and amenities not functional when I stayed. Super annoying.

We stayed as a family of 3 during the 2025 F1 Grand Prix. The location was excellent; easy to navigate to via motorways & major arterial roads and trams/trains were very close offering plenty of options. The 2-bedroom apartment was clean & modern. There is a gym, spa and sauna in the complex which guests are able to use. Undercover & secure parking was available for $20/day. Sebel staff were courteous & efficient.

A hotel in a residential / student accommodation block. It does not feel like a hotel. There is no service - except when we were first greeted which was ok, and the room was not serviced at all. The building had a feel and smell ( mainly of inroom cooking) of a permanent living establishment. Our room was ok - a small two bedroom, but showed signs of living - the walls was scuffed, the door would not close unless pushed as the flooring had lifted and the furniture was bare minimum. There were no draws or cupboards for putting clothes in except the wardrobes that had 3 hangers. The living room couch was dreadful. The shower and toilet was clean but small. Beds were comfortable. The room was ok for a quick visit to hospital ( about 10 minute cab drive away) but i would not stay there for any other reason as a hotel. We cost of the room was poor value. I had a look at the terrace garden, jacuzzi, private rooms they looked quite pleasant. There were no meal options at the hotel. Overall it was a room - an expensive room, in a largely residential building and it was just ok for our purpose.

No housekeeping during our 3 day stay. The bedroom and bathroom are super small, no hangers in bedroom (3 in total, two had robes on them). Bedroom had two single mattresses pushed together wasn't comfortable with mattress seams and ill fitting sheets - mattress protector straps were broken and didn't stay in place. Air conditioning sensor was broken (pushed into the wall) in lounge room. Had to stand on a chair and poke the remote into the hole to make it work . We fixed their squeaking bedroom and bathroom doors for them. A sense that the room was a bit tired, and needed a good clean. A bit of road and train/tram noise through the night. Location is good though.

Although the location and convenience of having laundry facilities and a full kitchen are in its favour, the general disrepair of the property and appalling dirtiness of the room we stayed in mean we will never return to this location.

we had an apartment on level 4. i might as well have slept on the street. it was as if cars were driving through my room. Being situated on a main road, thick curtains might be better than the cheap blinds or even better thicker windows to reduce the noise. wont be staying there again.

Have stayed here several times the person at reception prior to this stay was fantastic.

Convenient for Monash University, Caulfield Racecourse, hospitals and public transport, with shops and a supermarket nearby. Its position on busy Dandenong Road brings traffic noise for rooms facing the street, and one reviewer felt the area was isolated.
