Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

The location is perfect. Very close to Flinders Street Station, Elizabeth / Swanston / Collins square where the happenings are in Melbourne - especially the restaurants, South Gate by the Yarra River. All these places are within 5-10 minutes walk. Love the fact that this property is a condotel, where it has a fully furnished kitchen, a separate living room, and working area. Very convenient considering I travelled for work. The gym is well-equipped with decent gym facilities. The pool is rather small, but it is heated and good enough for doing laps. We were given the opportunity for a late check-out, which is very helpful, so that we could take the time to go around the city first in the morning before we checked-out. There are 7-Elevens close by, within 2 blocks away. Woolworths / Metro / Coles are also only around 5 blocks away, in between Flinders and Elizabeth.

Return stay here. Good location, quiet, clean and comfortable. The hotel gave us a complimentary upgrade to a city-view room. Kitchenette was great, even 2 hotplates. Good value. Toilet was running when we arrived, maintenance came within the hour and fixed the issue (although it still made a dripping noise as it refilled, but was only about 30 seconds). Iron was leaking and not heating, this was replaced promptly. Good customer service, staff were helpful and smiling.

The room included a taxi from the airport which was waiting , quick check in to a nice size comfortable room in central Melbourne close to free public transport & short walk to many restaurants .

Although this 21 floor Oaks - Market Lane property is located quite a distance from the Yarra River, its Upper level southward facing rooms have good views to the Yarra River, Sky Deck and Crown Casino;-at Christmas exceptional views of the decorations along the riverside promenade. The Studio was spacious, well maintained and the kitchenette/self-catering facilities ideal for a short stay. Not the latest in decor; however modern, with a large comfortable couch, floor to ceiling windows providing natural light. (Windows were surprisingly clean for a Melbourne property). Bathroom large, rain shower style head over the bath with glass screen. Large bed was extremely comfortable, as were the linens and pillows. Property well maintained, and clean.

Superbly appointed room, well equipped kitchen facilities and definitely soundproof! We checked in Christmas evening and we received some beautiful Christmas chocolates, a small but lovely touch that made us feel special (the nice warm and fuzzy kind). We will certainly return again, and again, and then some more!
