If the front desk in unoccupied, the phone number stand on the desk is useless because there is no one to answer. Gave the perception of being ignored if someone was going to magically come answer it instead of the staff member truely being busy.

Checked into the hotel, and reception couldn’t be more helpful, I found the room excellent and reception recommended a fantastic place to eat in Chinatown, met the general manager who couldn’t do enough to make you feel welcome. Ended up booking more rooms for my return trip in September. Well done punthill little Bourke 👍

Simple but clean and comfortable accommodation, had everything we needed for a one night stay while attending a conference in Melbourne.
Staff were warm and welcoming, great communication from the initial booking through to check-out. Excellent proximity to Her Majesty's Theatre if seeing a show there, which we did.
Would stay again, great value for money.

The reception was great.
However the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows terrible.
The apartment was dirty and run down. There was no carpet in the hallway as it looked as if they were renovating and stopped halfway through.
Great location but very polluted area.

The room and bathroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable. Convenient location in the middle of Chinatown if you're ok with walking around. The kitchen and bathroom were clean. Staff were helpful and communicative regarding check-in and storing my bags when I didn't have the room. On public holidays the reception hours are limited to 0900-1700, but after hours check in works.

Quite a few downsides though. The studios face a laneway used by garbage trucks around sunrise and the noise seeps though the doors and windows. The decor, sofa, carpet, bathroom fittings, and walls were definitely showing their age in terms of design, dirt, wear and tear. It looked they were in the process of renovating their common areas, a process which I hope would extend to the rooms. The crockery was mismatching and chipped. The fridge also wasn't cold enough while the freezer compartment was just a little below freezing. I would suggest not leaving unfinished food out in the open and checking if the fridge is sufficiently cold before storing perishables, just in case.

I had a lovely spacious room, but it lacked some basic amenities like a box of tissues, a face washer, the shower was over the bath and I couldn't change the water over from the bath taps to the shower head. On Tuesday morning I was a awoken by a lot of noise, and later when I went to check out discovered that since last night all the carpet had been removed in the corridor outside my room. My shoes practically stuck to the exposed sticky floor beneath it. I really wondered why they put me in that room if work was going to be done immediately adjacent to my door. The staff apologised when I mentioned it on checking out, but it was too late by then. Best feature of the property is the location, in the heart of Chinatown and close to theatres. Can be a bit noisy if you're put in a room on the first couple of floors (I was just one floor up from the street).

The room was in quite poor condition and in need of renovation, peeling paint, stained walls in bathroom, chipped tile flooring, view from the window was not good as rubbish was piled up around the waste bins. There might be plans to renovation, once this has happened and if it is the same standard as other Punthills it could be good.

I have mixed feelings on this stay. The floor was having the hall way renovated so 24/7 loud drier fans ran, so loud. The room did not look anything like the lovely light bright one pictured when booking on this site. It was dark and dingey. Deck was filthy and smokers had well used the room, it stunk. Has a kitchen but microwave has lost all its internal peel so metal exposed, no dishwasher, grease all around sink, no oven just a hob. Your survey says pool, never found that, and your site says room service, that doesn't exist. Staff are lovely, place is clean, bed is comfortable, location is great. It just is badly represented on this site. I do not feel I got what I paid for.

Best water pressure ever, however water sprays the bathroom, so don’t leave anything out whilst showering (including toilet roll). Unfortunately the bathroom drain was blocked and the bathroom had a very unpleasant smell. Didn’t report it as we cleared it ourselves.

Overall, great location, comfortable and soft bed.

Small room with an even smaller cooktop and a balcony with room for two feet only. Poor ventilation when cooking and only one small pan to use. The bed was so soft you bend in the middle giving you a sore back after 10 mins. After pointing out fire system non compliance, they ensured urgent rectification. Staff very helpful with information and direction, and is in the heart of the Asian precinct. Recommended if you’re going to the theatre.

I had a studio suite and it was very adequate for one person, though the kitchen was a bit cramped but there are too many amazing restaurants steps away to spend time in the kitchen. The apt was a little dated but i noticed in a note in the elevator that apartments will be getting upgrades so that is good to know as some updates are . But overall it was an enjoyable experience and good value for the money

Go at your own risk. The room overflow drain was blocked and flooded the bathroom. Call to the Punthill emergency line and they didn’t even offer a follow-up call to let me know if a plumber was coming or not until i prompted that it was 9pm and wanted to sleep! Wrote to manager about the problem and have had no reply since.

6 out of 10

On arrival stepping out of lift to our floor , it smelt disgusting , like sewage. Got into the room and couldnt smell it. Oped the blinds to see an alley way with garbage so there was no view. The bed was super comfortable, like a 10 out of 10. Couch had a spring near popping out that you wouldnt want to sit on. Area was quiet noisy on weekend. Water preasure in shower was great. Close to theatre so was ok to walk to . Didnt relise it was in china town . Over all it was an ok stay.

Nice location, Filthy inside apartment.

Although cheap id expect the appartment to be clean. Dust on the stove, not being wiped clean down properly, alot of dust and crap under the bed and couch as if it is too hard to move to clean under. My key fell in to the couch and to my suprise it was filthy with previous peoples food waste rubbish chips and crumbs. I didnt expect a 5 star hotel but the cleanliness of it really needs to be addressed.

I was disappointed that when I went back to my room at 7.00pm both swipe keys did not work. A call had to be made to a central number and security came. It was an inconvenience. I'm so glad in didn't happen later in the night. Unfortunately though there was no one to reissue more room keys so we had to stay in the room for the rest of the night. Or go through the hassle of getting security again to let us into the room.

Great position tucked behind Chinatown

We enjoyed a 3 night stay in a one bedroom apartment at Punthill little bourke. The hotel is tucked in behind Melb Chinatown, so is very central to see theatre, comedy, restaurants and shopping. Reception staff were helpful at check in and luggage storage after check out. The shower worked well and the bed was comfortable.

Punthill Little Bourke offers a prime location in Chinatown, with a wide variety of food options nearby, and the front desk staff were polite. However, the apartment has some notable drawbacks. The room appeared old and was not clean, with noticeable dust. Several appliances were malfunctioning, including the kitchen stove, exhaust fan, and room air conditioning unit; the air conditioner was also very dusty. Additionally, the hotel lacks free parking, and the surrounding area experiences significant traffic congestion, especially on weekends.

Our stay was absolutely amazing this was our second time at Punthill Little Bourke, and it didn’t disappoint. The one-bedroom apartment was fantastic, with a well-equipped kitchenette, a comfortable living room, and a cozy bedroom. But the highlight was definitely the bathroom the spa bathtub was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city.

The staff were incredibly friendly and always easy to contact, which made everything even smoother.

We also loved the food scene around the area so many great options within walking distance, making it super convenient. The nightlife was vibrant, and overall, we had an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Quite a good room for the price. Spacious one bedroom with comfy bed.
Check in closed well before 9 on Sunday due to staffing issues (5.30) and led to some drama in check in as the hotel has no other staff. I think it some of the rooms in an apartment complex.

Now to check in out of hours you use a machine that drops your key into a box with a flap. When I opened it I found just a key rather than, had I checked further, a small envelope with a key in it.

I did think it was strange being just a key but it opened the door and operated the lift but not the room door....

One hour later and multiple phone support type calls a manager turned up and found or dispensensed the key from the box.

He took my key that I had been using, it operated all the lift floors so it was some sort of visitors key for the more permanent residents/small business operators that reside In the building I guess.

The flap in the machine is not locked, my advice would be check first and remove anything that is in there. Then enter your code and what drops is your key.

Anyway not the best start but otherwise a pretty good stay.

The location of the property is great being right in the centre of China Town but it is next door to a TAB and Pokies venue that attracts undesirables smoking around the entry to the hotel. The room was in serious need of painting and a deep clean. Luckily the bedding and towels were clean, otherwise we would have vacated. Admittedly it was a very cheap rate but feel our room didn't meet my expectations and live up to the recent good reviews.

Average at best

We recently stayed in an interconnecting apartment and the stay was ok. The room was what we needed but one of the bathrooms had a terrible smell coming from the drain and we had to ask for toilet paper and towels as these weren’t supplied daily. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows terrible.
Overall, the hotel is located in the heart of Chinatown so a good location. I probably wouldn’t stay again as for the price we could have got something nicer. The rooms were tired and had worn carpets and furnishings.

The check in staff didn’t know what they were doing, the room had a dirty ashtray on the balcony, the curtains in the room were old and dirty. The fringe rattled all night. The tv was an old TCL and had hardly any channels no chance of any streaming. On arrival after dinner there were drug affected people trying to get in the front door it felt very unsafe. Not the usual punthill standard needs a total refurbishment and trained staff. We wouldn’t stay here again it only has location going for it that is all

Whilst a handy location and staff were excellent, the room was very tired and poor upkeep (although seemed cleaned as well as it could be) - not what I expected for the brand or price. Both sofa and bed terribly uncomfortable which impacted my stay.

So a big thanks you to Punthill
