Leaanne
Gardens aren’t maintained loads of graffiti boarded up room on first floor hot water runs out food was excellent staff were amazing
Elaine
Room was very clean. The bed was super comfortable and the water pressure of the shower was to die for.
Femi
We were surprised and quite disappointed especially since the facility was advertised on expedia as a hotel, on getting there, we got a motel. We paid for hotel services on expedia but got a motel. The rooms we stayed in were not as displayed in the pictures.
victoria
Great stay. Super convenient for the basketball tournament we attended
Jessica
The staff are always super friendly and helpful
ray

Denis
Room was clean but smelled musty. Bathroom was very outdated and poorly appointed. TV did not function. Bed was double but not very big
JOHN
Comfy room plenty of tea/ coffee & good aircon. Although showing age but still good. Bistro meals v/good Highly recommend Friendly Staff to go with it.

Peisha
This is a very family friendly venue. The restaurant features an extensive menu with lots of dietary options and a great kids menu. As no breakfast is available on site it would have been great to have a toaster or microwave wave in the room.
John
Clean room and very comfortable bed.

TERESA
Unfortunately the place is showing it's age, externally timber is rotting and downpipes rusting. Carpet had dirty spot and the timber bed base creaked all night. An upstairs occupant took my park out front of my room. Notes I put on my booking were either not past on by Expedia or ignored by business. Dining and meals were lovely
Adrienne
Property was clean,comfortable and conveniently locsted within walking distance to shops and train station. Room was spacious with adequate facilities and amenities. Rooms are looking tired and need refurbishing.
Dining area is spacious, meals are generous and delivered promptly. Great cooking and serving team.

Great value for money and perfect for somewhere to stay while working in the area. Bistro meals were a little pricey but the food was good and the serving was generous. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable however the motel in general could do with renovation.

This property was good. It was clean. It was close to where I was staying for Work. The only thing was it doesn’t have enough PowerPoint to be able to charge your phone and a watch without unplugging the TV and it took 10 minutes for the hot water to get through to the room that I was staying in which then made me late for work.

It was reasonable for our needs as an overnight stay as I had to put mycar in for a service on new years eve and we did not have to worry bout traffic in the morning to get the car there by 8sm
Vivienne
Overall was very clean couldnt fault it. Staff are very friendly.
Only thing i would criticise due to my disability, i couldnt have a shower due to the bath being too high.

Rooms are older but very clean, spacious & had everything you need for a short stay.

Overall it would be ok IF my husband didn’t hurt himself when had the shower.
To get out from the bath( it is too high especially for the oldies !)was hard and he
Slipped…. Cut the elbow,foot and hit his head.
Have reported to receptionist and she had some pictures

Peter
Good
Marion
It was a very pleasant over night experience and we would certainly recommend it again. Even though it was not a modern motel it was very clean and we enjoyed our stay.
Dianne
I understand it is an old motel. The room itself was quite large with lovely crisp clean sheets on the beds however the bathroom was nothing like any of the pictures on the web site and in fact appeared quite grubby. It was actually clean but because the fittings are all worn and possibly corroded they looked dirty. The shower recess is quite dark and the sealant around the tiles at the bottom of the wall looks as though it is impregnated with mould and should be replaced as soon as possible before it becomes a health issue.
Damo
Noise of patrons returning to their rooms after hours.
Colin
Beds only small Doubles (2 off fortunately).
Bathroom was 50 years old. Doors did not close properly.

Good basic service,, not too expensive,, but clean and all facilities in working order.
Lynette
The room smelt like stale cigarette smell. Needs airing. I couldn't get the air conditioner to heat, blew cold air. I set it right, but no heat.
Jesse
Thanks for a good stay
Sharn
The room was quiet even though it was on a busy road and with other people staying around us. The room was clean and staff fantastic.
It will be our “to go” when visiting family.

Great
Lorraine
In a convenient quiet area, however the bathrooms desperately need updating - we are in out 70s and having to step up into a half bath to shower is risky!
Also would prefer a queen size bed rather than a double.

Good place to stay
Henry
The unit needed some maintenance E.G, the internal doors not easy to operate, & the aircon could do with either servicing or replacing. Otherwise good for a basic unit.
Reuben
Liked it
Arthur
The rooms were very old but otherwise good value.
Gemma
Basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed. Near to shops and very friendly staff.
Margie
The property is good, big and clean.
Vivien
Renovation needed
The room was a disgrace, paint and plaster coming off the walls. Front door falling apart at the bottom and daylight could be seen underneath. The linen was clean but the room and bathroom had an overall feeling of being dirty. In desperate need of renovation. Having left a day early and told why the receptionist did not seem that interested in my concerns
Anthony
Room decor was dated. Couch springs were gone so no support and made it very difficult to get up from it. Bathroom taps had to be turned and turned to turn the water on or off. Hot water was so hot that it would be easy to scald yourself. Jets in the tub did not work. Fan cover in the bathroom needs to be cleaned. TV in the main room did not work. Very large bedroom but the bed was positioned so the bathroom door hit the foot of the bed and could not be opened all the way - made it difficult for the person sleeping on that side of the bed to get into the bathroom at night. Security chain on the door had nothing to connect to - had been ripped off. On the positive side, the room was very spaciou, the a/c works well and the king size bed was very comfortable.
Caitlyn
I stayed here for a work trip for two nights. Upon checking in, I was greeted by a lovely staff member at the front desk. She was very helpful and friendly!
When I then walked across to my room, I saw really old and worn rooms that look like they haven’t been updated in many years. Parts are broken and falling apart, the whole place looks derelict. Inside my room, it smelled musty and unclean. The furniture is from the 70s and the bathroom also has not been updated since then too. There were hairs in the shower, the edges around the shower were dirty and there were stains on the tiles. There was a patched up hole with writing on it on the toilet door and dirty marks everywhere. I got bitten by some kind of bug while sleeping the first night, could have been bedbugs or mozzies (I did check the mattress but couldn’t see anything). Legs are covered in bites. There is a massive gap under the front door so I rolled up a towel on the second night to place there in case mozzies were coming in.
Please update your motel facilities… the place is screaming out for some attention. I won’t be coming back or recommending anyone to stay here unfortunately.

TV was '1996' model with built in DVD player, Standard Definition (No High Definition Channels) and no USB ports. The Generic remote also wasn't programmed properly. Luckily I am ex Technician and I did it myself. (The code for the Daewoo TVs and the OneForAll Remote Rev03 is 2775) The TV was also faulty, but it was a Sunday afternoon and it couldn't be replaced. They did offer to switch us to another room, but we had already unpacked and didn't want to move. Bed was good & clean, and so was bathroom. Windows were riveted closed and could not be opened.
Dickon
The look outside the rooms and the building itself is not appealing. May it needs some bit of painting
Parameswaran
The receptionist Amanda was nice and helpful. The room was sold as a hotel and ended up being an old motel. While everything was clean, old building was not inviting. The Tv was the size of a computer monitor.
Victoria
Room was spacious, neat and clean. Good value for money.
Verified traveler
Worth a visit
This is my second stay at Dorset Gardens and would book here again when in the eastern part of Melbourne
Carly
The room was quite dated, but it has character! So didn’t mind the antique look. The bed is amazingly comfortable, it was very quiet and the shower pressure was amazing. WiFi didn’t reach our room which was a shame. But I has happy they could bring me a hairdryer as the one attached to the wall couldn’t tame my thick hair.

Will book again
My family will stay again next time we need accomodation in the area.

Best sheets pillows and beds I have experienced in any hotel in a while. Housekeeping is outstanding- beds are made up clean and beautiful daily. Drawback is the other intoxicated noisy guests that woke us up after midnight every night of our stay.

My stay was for 10 days and i have booked again next week. Quiet, peaceful, away from traffic noise. Room and bed was so comfortable I have asked for the same room nect week. Staff are all fantastic

Overnight stopover
Firm bed and soft pillow- perfect!
Dinner in the bistro was filling and the drinks were refreshing after a long day.
Only downer was the broken but still usable shower head, reported it to reception and they were getting maintenance on to it.

Very clean and the shower was good. Extremely thin walls with neighboring apartments we were woken up throughout the night. TV showed a black screen for nearly all channels. Toilet takes 8 flushes to clear a number two. Key card frequently deactivates requiring us to go back to reception multiple times to get it reactivated.

The staff were great, food was excellent, the rooms are small but functional and clean. More like a resort than a Hotel
Cherie
As a family the apartment was perfect for us. The bistro was right there and a bottle shop too!
