Hotels Near Harris Scarfe Preston (Homewares & Manchester) in Melbourne

Tiny room, toilet in the shower, loud super heavy room doors. Loud hectic music in the lounge. There were two fire alarms during my stay, one in the afternoon and one at night. People were confused. I had to ask someone from the staff what was going on and whether it would be safe to go back to the room, the hotel staff didn’t actively communicate with its guests about it. The front door of the hotel was locked at all times from the outside. Overall, a strange vibe. I was glad to leave.

In the suburb of Preston. The rooms are large, apartment-style hotels with open kitchens where you can cook for yourself.

Was a lovely place to stay. Will definitely stay there again when visiting Melbourne. Clean , staff were lovely , security parking . Easy access to local coffee shops. Highly Recommended

The staff is very nice, I called to confirm it early on the day of check-in. When we checked in, because we had two children, we also upgraded the large suite for free. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The location of the hotel is a small commercial center in several suburbs nearby. There is a small commercial street, but there are also shops that should be available, which is very convenient in Australia. There is a railway station in front of Mercy Hospital not far away, and the traffic is pretty good. To say that the fly in the ointment may be that the Wi-Fi network speed is not good and the number of connected devices is limited. This may be a common problem in Australia, and the hotel may be powerless.

In general, it is not bad, that is, the hotel does not provide slippers. It is not available in some hotels in Australia. The supermarket is quite convenient. The supermarket does not sell slippers. I ran a few places before I bought it. Summer's summer drag and drop

OK it has not good reviews and looks pretty shabby outside. But this place was very pleasant to stay at. $90 for a night and the bed was comfy, very quiet, big spacy room (no 5), very clean, great modern look with appliances, situated in good location. Service on check in was very friendly. Plenty of secure parking. Definitely stay again. Only negative was the water pressure was so slow. That's all

Our second time at this very good Motor Inn. It’s not in the CBD of Melbourne but with the excellent transport system it might as well be. Large room with all the amenities we stayed a week and was there mostly to just sleep. If you’re looking for something a bit out of the CBD and like to use public transport, give this place a go. Reasonably priced and recommended.

Myself and my partner had an appt and decided to stay here as the photos online looked okay and it was close to where we needed to go. The first problem started when we couldn’t even see the hotel from the road, the grass was overgrown, bushes covering the signage and no lights whatsoever. We were told to check the room before we paid which was fine, we checked and it definitely wasn’t too bad nor the best but we decided for one night it should be okay. After going out of dinner and coming back we properly inspected the room and we noticed all the hair on the floor in the bathroom and in the shower, mould on the bathroom roof, the room smelt, really outdated, furniture was falling apart, the whole room was just disgraceful really. $150 was a rip off for what they were offering. After noticing the hair in the bathroom, I thought to check the bed and to my surprise there was HAIR again under the sheets and that was enough for us to speak to the guy at reception, get a full REFUND and get the hell out of there. He wasn’t going to give us a refund and when we told him to have a look at what we found he said “it doesn’t matter, I’ll just put the doona back on” implying that he didn’t care and wouldn’t clean the bed free of hair and would just put the sheets back on to cover it. Absolutely disgusting. How they are still in business is beyond me. Will NEVER recommend here and will make sure everyone knows not to waste their money.

This place is so beautiful it’s difficult to comprehend the history of what was once one of Australia’s most notorious prisons as it’s now been fully renovated into this amazing hotel. Everything about it so aesthetically pleasing. The converted cells that are now suites with all the mod cons. The basement now an incredible pool along with common areas becoming a fabulous wine bars with old cells now booths to have an intimate dining experience. The staff are wonderfull. Big shout of to the lovely Maddi who was our designated host, and also hosted an additional add on called Place of Time, were you sit outside in the old exercise yard and sip red wine, eat yummy cheeses whilst she goes through the history of the prison and the surrounding areas. Food was delicious in the wine bar and cocktails yummy. We had a bit of an accidental overcharge but Natasha on the front desk sorted everything out admirably and promptly. The staff are all so friendly and appear to genuinely love their jobs. We’d definitely love the chance to come back soon. Thank you.

Our stay here was amazing, the apartment was big and spacious even equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Overall the hotel is very new and clean, and right next to a small shopping mall with a grocery store, eateries and a cinema. It is rather far from melbourne city area but easy to get to with a cab.
