“Fantastic, once again!”

We have stayed at the seasons botanic many times before. That many i cant remember how many times. We recently stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment for a boys footy trip for 2 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again. The service was fantastic at check in and our room was ready when we arrived at midday. The hotel lobby hasnt been updated since our first stay in 2009 but it is very clean and comfortable. This probably adds to the nostalgia of our Melbourne trips and why we love staying here. The room is very clean and spacious with a large comfortable couch. The kitchen area is full of everything we needed including a dish washer. The bathroom is very clean albeit dated and out of everything in the hotel, probably requires updating the most. That said everything works fine and certainly didnt impact our stay. The hotel is in a great location with the shrine of remembrance literally across the road and is a breathtaking sight no matter how many times you see it. Walking distance to the MCG, art gallery and southbank/fed square. Only negatives are we required a trundle bed and was abit pricey but was very comfortable. Also sad to see the restaurant is no longer down stairs as was very convienient but once again, didnt deter us all. We had a very enjoyable stay once again and certainly stay again.

“Two nights in Melbourne”

We booked this place for 2 nights. Was offered an upgrade to 1 bedroom suite for $20 per night extra. It was huge and very nice. Very quiet room off the main road. Very comfy lounge. and bed. Full kitchen and large table & chairs. On arrival the staff were very helpful, as we had a lot of items. Problem is their parking area, does not have a lift, only stairs and we had too much to manage that way. So we used a trolley to empty the car, then took the car down to the parking, which is by the side road. had to do the reverse when we left. Loved the suite, except for the shower was in the bath, not ideal for an older person. Also the shower head was not able to move. Kitchen could do with more lighting. We would return, as it was overall good, and a good location for us. The light rail is just down the road, and a nice long walk to the South Melbourne Markets. Staff were lovely, and offered so much help with the trolley especially.

“Needs some TLC”

This is the fifth time we’ve stayed here for the tennis. It’s well priced and very conveniently situated but it’s getting very sad looking and in need of updating. Rooms are big but our kitchen area is dark and the counter top damaged. Kitchen equipment is cheap and minimal and we had to ask for… more

This is the fifth time we’ve stayed here for the tennis. It’s well priced and very conveniently situated but it’s getting very sad looking and in need of updating. Rooms are big but our kitchen area is dark and the counter top damaged. Kitchen equipment is cheap and minimal and we had to ask for a toaster. The bathroom is the most in need of an update, cracked tiles, a shower that is almost impossible to keep going as it keep switching back to the bath tap, and thin small towels. The internet is so slow that we reverted to hot spotting from our phones. Reception staff are charming and helpful but there is obviously a limit to what they can do. Unfortunately next time we come to Melbourne we will look for somewhere else.
