Arden Motel

The Showerhead was Broken Spewed Water All Over the Floor. The Staircase Floor was Filthy. Plstic Plants had a Inch of Dust on them. They need to Mention parking conditions I had a van and hhad to find a Alleyway without grrting fined. No lifts for Diabled?

Great location to queen Victoria markets & loved that free on site parking is offered

Great old-school motel in North Melbourne. Great to have a place for the car so close to the venue of town. Good public transport and restaurant options nearby. Nice clean rooms with good showers!

Staff are lovely. Lots of free parking. Tram close by.

Small rooms compared to other motels. Parking not really suitable for large vehicles. Location is good though. Only a half hour walk to CBD.

I would stay at Arden Motel again, it is close to the CBD and I was able to walk to shopping and the theatre. The parking is a little bit tight but it is free which is rare in the city. I appreciated the free breakfast in the room, it was very cute with corn flakes and bread, along with a full bottle of milk and orange juices. This was very nice to start my morning. The room is a good size and I liked the balcony. It is a little bit noisy with people outside, and could do with some easy upkeeps like replacing the kettle with the broken lid, rusty toilet paper holder and duck taped hair dryer.

Properly is dated…1970s …but clean ,quiet, a daily continental breakfast which was replenished daily. Very generous supply of breakfast condiments and bathroom amenities generous also. Friendly and helpful staff. Free parking included. Hot water in shower fabulous. Would definitely stay again. Very close to trams and pleasant walk to Victoria Market and surrounded by numerous eateries.

Parking was easy.The motel was convenient for our needs.It was quiet and clean.

A bit old and shabby, could do with a paint, but very convenient to walk to RMH. Friendly Staff allowed our vehicle to stay 4 hours after checkout which we really appreciated.

Room was clean and quiet. Light breakfast & under undercover parking - complimentary - much appreciated. Exterior of building is "tired". Open stairway access to first floor room.

When we got to our room we found as well as having cracks in numerous walls the room was filthy and it smelled as if someone had been smoking either in the room or on the balcony with the door open - after an hour of sitting in the room, even with the balcony door open, we felt we weren't breathing normally. We are both non-smokers and so this was very noticeable to us. It was stated on our booking confirmation that our room was non-smoking Along with a spiderweb beside the air conditioner there was black dust around the sides and bottom of it (I didn't look on top). There was noticeable dust above the doorframes and in the bathroom. One of the pillowcases on the bed was stained and very thin - we didn't investigate the bed any further. As far as I could see the continental breakfast was two packets of cornflakes that were sitting on top of the microwave and they didn't look that appetising, and the thought of eating in that room - that wasn't going to happen. We were offered another room but we just wanted to leave, it was not a pleasant experience. The young lady at reception was very apologetic and said she would talk to the manager about a refund, although wouldn't be able to get that night refunded. We got 50% of what we paid, which we agreed at the time because we were in the heat of the moment, whereas was that enough as that room was not fit for purpose

Nice and clean rooms with breakfast provisions provided in room.

Clean rooms great staff quiet and convenient Reasonably priced Not a palace but with everything considered it’s a good motel

We read the reviews which stated the property was still living in the 70's. We were fine with that. What the reviews didn't say was the wall paper was peeling all across the wall. The built in bedside tables were extremely discoloured and needed a good clean. It felt unhygenic getting into the bed. The balcony had 10cm dirt and leaves on it. This was not something that had just blown in. It was packed tight in the corners of the balcony. The bathroom had broken tiles. There was a huge black spot the size of the bottom of a soft drink can on the bath. The exhaust fan was so noisy it sounded like a helicopter taking off. There was an old ladies hand made toilet roll holder hanging in the bathroom that was so dirty and dusty I think it had been hanging there since 1970. No lifts. They sent us up the back staircase to enter. It was filthy. There was a much cleaner staircase at the front of building. I don't understand why they would want their clients to see this and have a poor first impression before entering their room. Internal walkways are lined with dirty dusty artificial flowers in plant pots. Not a nice hotel but a good location. Spend a little more and get a bed you feel safe to sleep in and a shower you want to use.

Clean room lovely staff reasonably priced for the area

Liked Cleanliness Comfortable Bed & Continental Breakfast Undercover Parking

Room was clean and comfortable. Amazing shower pressure and temperature. Great and easy access to the major hospital precinct. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely chose to stay here again if the need arises.

Was spotless. Great staff

Spotlessly clean and lots of thoughtful touches. Highly recommend for the price.

This motel decor is a time capsule back to the 80s and maybe 70s! Lovely reception staff excellent location close to hospitals Melbourne University Victoria Market and Errol St restaurants and hotels as well as very handy onsite parking. Rooms are dated as mentioned but clean and practical. Beds are small - anyone over 6 ft would be challenged! Pillows could be updated.

The Hotel was very clean but my room was looking a bit tired. Has one wall with wallpaper which was lifting off in places. They TV Remote was completely in Chinese characters. Otherwise it's close to RMH and has off-street parking and a continental breakfast with real milk and juice. Staff were welcoming. I'd stay again.

Old motel with appliances that did not function that well. Extremely high water pressure and dripping tap. High pressure hot water potentially dangerous. Generous free breakfast!

Room needs to be upgraded. Very old. Staff were very nice. Quite noisy

In its day, this would have been a four star hotel. It has aged since then and the expectations of some might fall short as its a bit shabby. But, when you analyse it, the room was quiet, the shower was powerful and so was the wifi. Parking was convenient and the QV market is nearby. The trade-off for its age is that the pricing was competitive, so the bottom line is that it was fine for our 2 night stay. I wouldn't honeymoon here, but if you need a bed in N Melbourne at a reasonable cost...... it's fine.

It was very convenient and clean. Had a bit of traffic noise at night but able to close doors and put air-conditioning on. The bed was a bit firm. Otherwise no complaints.

Room, whilst old, was clean and comfortable. Exterior environment could do with some work to both clean and refresh. Good value for the price.

The continental breakfast was good. Room, dated but clean. Staff friendly

Lovely friendly staff, we had an appointment at the royal childrens in the morning, we were able to leave our car there after check out for a couple of hours, very appreciative for that, room was clean, and the place was quiet, comfy bed

Good customer service! I checked in and out with no hassle, even when I arrived the hotel earlier, they still let me check-in the room due to it was raining at the time. The included breakfast was a bit disappointed as only a slice of bread and a pack of cornflake to be eaten inside the room. Anyway, the room was clean even if this hotel is a bit old. ompared to the cost, perday, I would recommend the Arden hotel to anyone who prefer to live in low budget accomodation.

Excellent value and lovely reception staff and lady who serviced our room. We didn’t drive but excellent car parking. Garden area could do with a clean up and the grumpy older gentleman who shouted at me because I couldn’t see the outside toilet he was trying to direct me to!

Staff were very helpful and very welcoming. We were there because family in royal Melbourne hospital. We didn’t know each day what we were doing. Staff were always very accommodating, each time when we phoned as asking to stay again they were very polite and always made it possible to stay on short notice. Thank you for making a very difficult time easier for us. Ww would certainly stay again.

Beware of this trash hotel! I’m not one to be writing poor reviews but this has to be one of the most horrible experiences ever. I got to the hotel, it looked like something you find out in the middle of nowhere, it looks dirty and homeless are in the area. When we walked in the area looked really old and it smelled dirty. I was trying to be optimistic and carried on with going to the room the front desk placed us in. There was a lady smoking right outside the room. As we entered it smelled like literal death, feces and urine. I couldn’t get past it, I looked around and the covers had a few hairs on them. I wanted to throw up and as I went to the restroom I noticed a roach. I had seen and smelled enough, I left the room and went to the front desk and said I didn’t want to stay there as the lady had been walking around smoking. The guy in the front desk didn’t seem to care and said he would place me in another room . I declined and he said he would refund but that I had to contact Expedia first. I didn’t have reception so I called when I got back home and then Expedia calls them and “William” says it’s not allowed since the reservation was cancelled same day. This is the worst experience with booking a hotel and Expedia said they wouldn’t refund me because it’s against Policy? The hotel failed to provide a clean room and environment for me to stay in. I am going to fight this til the end, and I will make sure everyone is able to see my review through all platforms.

I’ve stayed at the Arden Motel 3 times now and I’ll keep coming back. Off-street parking, close to the CBD, kind and cheerful staff and, affordable

Very convenient location, especially to Melbourne hospitals. Very clean, and staff were super friendly.

Check-in is always smooth and easy. Staffs are always welcoming and courteous.

We had a problem being we would arrive late. Hospital had us. It was after 8pm. There was no flexibility on there behalf. They didnt allow us in after 8 pm, kept our money, so had to drive 5 hours back home from 10 pm after a arriving in Melbourne the same day, same travel time. Really needed a bed. Wont recommend them to anyone.

A bit old and shabby, could do with a paint, but very convenient to walk to RMH. Friendly Staff allowed our vehicle to stay 4 hours after checkout which we really appreciated.

We enjoyed our stay at Arden Motel. The room had everything we needed—clean sheets, warm shower, daily housekeeping, microwave, refrigerator, coffee, tea, juice, toast, cereal, milk. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Free parking was a plus. Located in Central Business District in Melbourne.

Dated, though good continental breakfast provisions in room, friendly reception and value for money.

Very well located and excellent value for money liked especially the in-room provided breakfast with 1 ltr of real fresh milk, more than enough for the cornflakes and all cups of tea and coffee for our stay. Close to lots of attractions and within walking distance of most or just a short walk to the free inner city tram routes.Staff helpful and willing to please
