Melbourne Hostels

I stayed in Box Hill motel between 3rd of Nov'23 - 5th of Nov'23. My husband and I arrived at Box Hill motel around 12-1pm. We were so exhausted as we took turn driving from Sydney - Melbourne. We drove from Sydney past midnight. Upon calling if we would be let in early, surprisingly it is allowed. Otherwise we would have slept in the car until check-in time if the room isn't ready yet. We got room no.1 and it was very clean. I didn't use the towel as I prefer to use my own towel, my husband also use his own towel. One of the hanging towel though had a snot on it and I put that towel aside despite we didn't use it. There were 3x plates in total and one of the plate was dirty and I assumed previous guest must have used this 1 plate and didn't wash it but instead just slipped it in between the clean plate. We used 2x plates for ourselves but I washed the 3x plates myself. Great Wifi speed too as I was able to complete a little bit of work from Room no.1. My parents always taught me to appreciate and respect people's places. Upon checking out, I saw Carol and OMG, she is so kind, friendly, down to earth and helpful. She was busy rolling people's luggage to their room. I remember my father always taught me the great businessman is not the one who always wanted to be served but the one who knew how to serve others first. There's a saying about ”servant leadership”. A great leader know how it feels to be at the bottom to observe, learn and serving others as well as better appreciate the top and experience various roles to understand the duties and responsibilities of each roles. THANK YOU Box hill motel team and Carol too for allowing us to stay at your beautiful clean and tidy place. We were able to sleep very soundly, hope nobody can hear us snoring :) I highly recommend Box Hill motel, Melbourne to anyone on a trip to Melbourne.

Great service, and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Everything matched the description. They provided us with a microwave and toaster, which solved our breakfast needs. There's a shopping center nearby where you can eat and buy essentials. The hotel has a restaurant, but we didn't try it. We only had coffee, and it was good.

Nice and clean, convenient pitt stop for late evening travelling to/from philip island to catch the penguin parade. Comfy bed with spacious room, and good quality toiletries.

1. **Cleanliness:** The room was quite clean, basically spotless, making for a very comfortable stay. 2. **Environment:** The overall environment is excellent. There's a laundry room, and a separate restroom on the first floor that guests can use even after checking out. The location is also fantastic – just a short walk from Southern Cross Station, with a tram stop nearby. It's only a three or four stop ride to Flinders Street Station. 3. **Service:** The service was decent. I didn't encounter any Chinese-speaking staff, but basic English was sufficient. 4. **Facilities:** Everything else was great, except for the showerhead. The water pressure was very low, and it was a rainfall-style shower with a wide spray angle. For women under 180cm, it's hard to reach the water when it's initially strong, and by the time it reaches you, it's barely a drizzle. It made showering quite uncomfortable.

This hotel was a fantastic experience! They offer free airport pick-up and drop-off, and the front desk even has Chinese-speaking staff. The room was clean, tidy, and very comfortable. The bathroom has a heat lamp, which was great for showering – so warm and cozy! The restaurant's food was delicious. I didn't get to try breakfast because of my flight, but I had dinner on the day I checked in, and it was really good. The surrounding area is also very nice. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this hotel! Also, Trip.com's service is truly excellent; they helped me contact the hotel for airport pick-up. It's so convenient to book hotels through Trip.com.

I like the environment of the hotel, the room is nice , the toilet is like brand new only thing that the air ventilation( fresh air) is a bit unsatisfactory.

Staff were lovely and helpful in planning more of our trip. Great hostel for socialising and had plenty of events, Bingo being the favourite.

I am a regular customer at this hotel and stay here every month for 2 to 3 days. I genuinely enjoy the location and overall experience, which is why I keep coming back. However, my experience with room cleanliness has been inconsistent. Sometimes the rooms are perfectly clean, but other times they require more attention and improvement in housekeeping standards. The biggest issue for me is the WiFi. It is by far the worst aspect of the entire building. The connection is extremely poor and unreliable—honestly, I can get much better internet speed at nearby shopping malls. Improving the WiFi would make a huge difference to the overall guest experience.

There are special kitchens, various pots and pans, electric ovens, induction cookers and so on. bbq

Hostel has all the things you need for a comfy night. No worries here. Friendly staff and easy to meet friends. Great location.
