While central to the airport, it is a nightmare for parking. Staff friendly and place is good for price although dusty and dirty marks on sheets, the noise and chaos traffic puts me off staying available.

We selected pay at property. Punthill called us and made us pay before we got there to check in. They said if we didnt we would lose our booking! Then they added a card surcharge for paying with a card, but paying with a card was the omly option they provided!

Puntill Melb Visit

Family visit to Melb. Room was noisy as above the busy street level and had a pugnant smell generated from the downstairs restaurant. If I stayed there again I would seek a room further away from the street and restaurant. Great central location however.

Overall this is a great property, the suite is spacious and very well appointed. The bed is huge and comfortable. It was very clean. The negatives that downgraded the final score from 5 star to 4 are... The shower over the bath is a worry, can I say especially for older people. This one got very slippery under foot without any rubber mat to get some transaction. The water temperature also had a mind of its own. The only other issue we had was that we paid for the undercover parking and when we returned from our show at about 11:00pm there was no designated parking spot available so we just had to park on the access area which blocked half of the way in which would have been very inconvenient to anyone arriving or leaving early the next morning. We also found that it was cheaper to book the parking direct with the hotel than it was to bundle it in with the room on the Expedia app.

Massive rooms, very clean, convenient area near airport, about 25 dollars in an Uber, thirty five minutes by tram from city centre. Late arrival after reception closed worked well but instructions could have been clearer. Otherwise all very good.

Stayed in a 1bedroom interconnected studio for a family of 4. This gave us a full-size kitchen, 2 bathrooms, in room laundry. Fantastic. Only fault was old tv’s that didn’t have Apps installed/capability so couldn’t watch a movie on demand.
