Checking in was a nightmare and took nearly 1 hour cause we had no check in number. The rooms wasn’t very clean and they never put extra teabags etc and no extra shampoo and conditioners. When book the money should have come out the day before so that we new everything was right. It has changed so much when we used to stay there before. We will never stay there again

There was no reception when I arrived at 5pm, it was all virtual. Their automated check-in system so I had to call their hotline number and email my license ID to their staff. No advice over my ID retention within their system and nor the fact it was sent in an insecure email form. It took me well over an hour to check-in. Payment was via a link for funds that was emailed to me while I was sitting in their empty reception.

The room itself was dated and smelt like a hospital when I walked in. At least it was clean which was nice.

It was a little cheaper than other places nearly, however the check-in experience absolutely turned me off. Not staying here again sorry!

Hotel has no proper signage so easy to walk past. Arrive after 10 pm off a flight and reception not staffed. Call after hours number and guy answers phone in another language. To get into place he needs my credit card for security deposit of $100 which is pathetic for what the place is. I object to having to give credit number out from street citing security concerns and that I was not told there would be such a requirement.

After giving over of details they give me a PIN number to get into the building. It takes a few attempts as it does not work properly. Then inside given instructions to open a box to get access card. This takes 10 attempts and the female phone operator who had no idea did not give me proper instructions and the man gave me better instructions to clear previous entries. After the longest and most pathetic check in to a hotel I ever had I finally get into building.

Room is very spacious and more like a small apartment although dated. TV very small for size of. White tiles in bathroom and in passageway need to be careful with as could slip causing injury or permanent damage to oneself.

In morning I was planning to leave suitcase with reception before having a walk around city. Reception just after 9am was not staffed so not possible. This place is not staffed properly and I feel it is more for people who want to stay longer in Melbourne like overseas students and it should not be on Expedia or Hotels.com for visitors and tourists.

Arrow on SPENCER Melbourne CBD.
I don't like giving bad reviews but I feel I have no choice. We choose this hotel due to it's location as we had to catch and early morning train. We arrived at the hotel at 440pm on a Sunday. Sign stating check in until 5pm so we were on time.
The building was locked and we could not access reception. I called the after hours number on a piece of paper the wall and the gentleman from somewhere answered and stated that reception closed at 3pm. I would have to send him an email with a copy of my licence before they would give me the access. I told him I did not feel comfortable sending him my licence due to this age of fraud and he told me he could not check me in.
I wanted to check in face to face so I was given the address of the Arrow on Swanston which was a 25 minute walk. We walked there and spoke to the gentleman who I showed my ID and then he gave us the codes to check in. Asked for our credit card and I went to scan it and he told me i couldn't do that as I was staying at another hotel and had to enter the bond into the computer. I was so tired from travelling that I just handed it over. I wanted this to be over.
We walked back to the hotel entered and it was putrid. The elevators, the halls and the stains on the door made me feel sick. We entered and there were stains on the tiles, toilet unflushed, shower stains. Sheets were clean though. NEVER AGAIN will I stay here.

We are 4 brothers in town for the Lions rugby tour.
This place suited our needs, although is quite basic.
One bedroom has an en-suite so the rest of us had to share one bathroom - and the upstairs room is served by a spiral staircase.
Very basic comforts, couch and a full kitchen.
There is a desk at the lobby that is attended during the day.
We used the parking garage.
Location is convenient to the Docklands area, Victoria Market and the trolley but we would have preferred to be closer to the CBD
Overall, we were satisfied and the price was right.

I needed to stay somewhere with short notice and whilst I was appreciative of obtaining a booking, I would never stay at Arrow Spencer Street again.
Firstly, the confirmation email via booking agent I rcvd said the reception was open till late at night. Upon arrival there was a sign stating reception closed at 5pm. I contacted the listed number and ultimately (after much to-ing and fro-ing) check in was completed. When I expressed my dissatisfaction the person I spoke with said the website stated they closed at 5pm. I checked Arrow Spencer Street and it did not state this, so far as I could see.
The room itself was appalling. Marks and grime all over the place. The window was utterly filthy. The wardrobe door was askew. The only seating was a cheap and nasty plastic setting and one of the chairs was wobbly. The bathroom was an utter disaster. The toilet cistern made a hideous noise for most of the night. The bathroom vanity was in an appalling state. The shower door was very difficult to maneuver and given that it was glass this was quite unsafe. The shower did not drain and within several minutes of the shower being on it turned into a foot bath and leaked on the floor. The only positive was the bed and which was quite comfortable.
Overall I would rate the property at between a 1 and 2. Arrow really should have paid me to stay at the property rather than me paying a fee. It was quite simply one of the worst properties I had ever stayed in. I will never return.

Maybe I didn’t see the information about how to find the hotel. I had to ask a hotel close by where to find it. Outside facade says Harbourview. Location is great. Trams really close by, not to mention Marvel stadium is walking distance.

Arrived at property and was told my booking had been moved to another property (Arrows on Swanston). When I got to the other property I had to wait 2 hours for a room which although looked clean the carpets were filthy and had an odour.

Initially difficulty getting key. I arrived at 4.45pm to find office closed. Trying the three numbers given , no response. Eventually got someone.
Someone had to let me into building so I could get mobile number. All sorted but not a good introduction. Room was okay. Plenty of hot water. Windows looked onto brick wall and pigeons kept cooing. Place needs an update. I will not stay again

The property was old and outdated. It smelt and was grotty. There was a distinict stale cigarette smell in the room and not very clean. The layout wasnt liveable thank god we only had one night. I dont mind staying in budget places but not when i paid a premium price. I could have had 2 nights at crown for what we paid for one night in this place. We will never stay there again.

One night stay

Got upgraded to a penthouse suite, which was nice, Hotel is a little dated but was clean and comfortable for a one night stay, the price was good value for money, compared to other Hotels in Melbourne, but if you are looking for something a bit more modern, this would may not be for you,

You get what you pay for...

Basic, run down and cockroaches in the kitchen, carpet needed a serious deep clean as full of dirt, bathroom grates needed a good scrub, balcony covered in bird droppings. Fire alarm went off on second night, barely heard it in the room, luckily one person heard and woke the rest, however an alarm was left continuously going for 2 days straight after. You get what you pay for, definitely won't be staying again, barely what I'd class as a 2 star hotel, these 5 star reviews are totally paid for.

One of the worst hotels i stayed at. The TV was located in a seperate area away from the bed, which meant that there was no option to watch the television while in bed.

We had the suit and it Was perfect for a large number of guests. However when we arrived there was no one at the reception desk, apparently they called in sick. We had arrived early but I had emailed them previously to let them know that we will won’t need the room until later that evening and We needed to park our cars. Due to no one being there we were unable to check in.
The only person to assist was the cleaner. She did a fantastic job and went and called the manager to sort out our cars and how we could collect our room key.
After about half an hour it was all sorted.
When we arrived back later that evening our collected the key from the overnight box.
Had no problems. The room was ok for the 2 nights. Furniture a bit old but we didn’t stay there much.
Great location . Would stay there again .

Clean facilities and consumables, and easy and convenient access close to transport. Police station across the road made it very safe. However, property itself was in quite poor condition with many scratched, stained or poorly repaired aspects. Also, the traffic noise throughout the night was fairly substantial - although this is fairly unavoidable.
Fine for the one night that we stayed just to sleep in, but wouldn’t have wanted to stay there for a longer time frame.

I called before I checked in to see if there was car park available. The nice lady said yes. I parked my car in the garage and went to check in and asked the receptionist about parking but he said they have “limited parking” and that I had park across the road. I waited at the exit for 10-15 minutes for someone to open the door but no one did so I just parked in the building for free. Terrible stay. Very underwhelming.
Our level had a bad rubbish smell lingering. Would not recommend. There’s plenty out there with better value for money.

Terrible reception & bond refund issue

Check in advertised as after 2pm. Got a call asking me to check in before 3pm & was told normally reception was open until 9pm but for some special reason was closing early. I hadn't planned to get there until 6pm. They offered to stay open until 5pm (the earliest I could possibly get there was between 4 & 5pm) so I had to change my travel plans. When I arrived the reception was open and receptionist told me reception normally closed at 4pm but he would be there until 7pm! I was also unable to arrange to leave a room key for my partner who was arriving on a later train - so had to change my plans again which meant I was late for the event I was visiting Melbourne for!! I wouldn't have stayed here but had pre-paid online for the room. Then on checking out in the morning was told that the $100 room bond (another check-in surprise) would not be returned to me for 3 to 5 days! I do not recommend staying here.

I have stayed in over 50 apartments in Melbourne itself, and over hundreds in the world. This is by far the worst apartment that anyone can live in. Expedia should get this apartment off its list. I stayed in 301,
a. Very Dirty: The room and the building was smelly, the corridors were stinking. The balcony was full of dust flying into the room. The carpet was dirty and mouldy.
b. The mattress was broken
c. The room was tiny den and way smaller than other comparative accomodations in the same budgets.
d. The basic kitchen amenities of utensils, wine or drink glasses were missing.

Floors were not clean, rubbish and food scraps under the fold out bed/couch, food was left in the cupboard, shower was tiny triangular shape, tv remote not working and living space was extremely tight to move around in.
Location in relation to public transport is good.
