What guests think

Across numerous reviews, The Sebel Melbourne Moonee Ponds stands out for very clean, spacious apartment-style rooms with full kitchens and laundry, exceptionally friendly staff, and a highly convenient location steps from shops, supermarkets, cafes, and public transport connections.

Saros bar and restaurant receives strong feedback for quality food and drinks. Parking is available but often inconvenient or costly, with limited set-down space, tight clearance for larger vehicles, and repeated reports of needing staff to open the garage. Some guests noted street or train noise, light bleed in lower floors, uncomfortable sofa beds, and strict 3 pm check-in/10 am checkout, alongside occasional admin or housekeeping lapses. Overall, expect modern, self-contained comfort in a lively, central location.

Centre of Moonee Ponds is very convenient if you need to be in the area. Room is comfortable and spacious. A coffee machine would have been appreciated. I paid extra for parking but later found I could have had the Accor discount. Could have been mentioned at check-in. The staff were helpful with questions but didn't bother to greet anyone as they walked through reception.

I've stayed here a few times, it's always clean and the staff are friendly. The only complaint I have is the parking, it's not suitable for larger vehicles, it's 2.1m height clearance but there are storage lockers over the parking spaces so if you have a people mover, van or 4WD you can only use half of the space.

Great location and walking distance to restaurants and supermarket. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Only annoying issue is access to the car park. You have to call reception to ask to open the garage door for you everytime you enter.

I don’t think we should pay for parking and having to call before entering car park Also leaving car park was slow exit especially waiting on steep Incline for many minutes before door went up Otherwise I’d return next year as it was a good experience and recommend it too others .

Very nice spacious rooms , excellent service and staff. Good underground parking however it did add $30 per day for parking but was certainly needed as this area is very congested with very little places to park. I mentioned to staff at front desk regarding no set down parking out front entrance as there was no park zone and large pot plants on the street. They said it was a council issue and council has been difficult to reason with. Otherwise excellent stay

On my second day I was contacted around midday to ask if I checked out as the key card was in the drop box. I checked and said that I had the key my bag… which is a worry if there was a key that was still valid floating around after I checked in. Then that night I received a note on my car indicating I was not registered with the hotel and was parking in their spot so need to move my car or I could be fined. I registered and paid for two nights of parking on check in. So it was annoying that they thought I checked out from a previous guests key card and they didn’t have a system to look up I’ve paid for and registered my car. The pillows and doona smelled like they haven’t been washed in months… smelled like BO. Pretty gross! Will reconsider any future stays here and will not recommend to anyone.

Sebel Moonee Ponds is very well situated two streets over from the main Moonee Ponds thoroughfare which makes it within easy walking distance of a multitude of shops and eateries. It is directly opposite a Coles Shopping Mall with a well stocked Coles supermarket as well as a variety of other shops. Transport wise it is conveniently located a 3 minute walk from a tram and bus interchange and a 5 minute walk from a train station. The hotel itself is very comfortable and clean with spacious, well appointed rooms.

This was perfect but the lights from the carpark across the road are quite bright and some better blinds/curtains in street facing rooms at the lower levels would make the room darker making this a 10/10 property.

Unfortunately, no block out/privacy blinds available in lounge room. We required the use of the fold out bed in the lounge, and felt a little uncomfortable knowing people from other apartments could see in (particularly when lights on). Also, quite a lot of noise from outside. We didn't have pillows supplied for the fold out bed. Full kitchen was great. Apartment was exceptionally clean. Beds in room were very comfortable, sofa bed not as comfy.

This is a lovely set of apartments but with the proximity to the shopping centre across the road, delivery vans and construction works can start very early in the morning (e.g. 4:30am) disturbing the night's sleep

This was not my first time to stay in this apartment hotel and it always make me feel good. Apart from the reason of staying closer to my daughter's apartment nearby, the hotel location is right in the center of Moonee Ponds. There are many nice cafes, restaurants, shops and large supermarket around the hotel. Only 3 minutes walk to the train station and easily takes about 20 minutes train to get to the Melbourne Central. The staffs are very nice and always helpful. The beds are firm and the room is clean. I will definitely book it again next time when I come to visit my daughter.
