Oaks South Yarra

We found the hotel very easily from the South Yarra train station (the main reason we chose this hotel was the location for transport around the Melbourne area). The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was a studio room but surprisingly big bedroom and bathroom even so. The lounge suite was very uncomfy and rather short on depth so becomes hard to sit on after a short time. The table and chairs were good for purpose. The air con is quick to heat up the room - but it doesn't extend to heating the bedroom (just saying). The bed was very comfortable but the pillows need replacing - they are flat and uncomfy. The duvet needs to be larger for the king size bed - it seems to be a queen - we constantly fought to keep ourselves tucked in and it also wasn't long enough for the bed. The bathroom was a great size and loved the shower cubicle - always good to have this roomy. Good free toiletries which were replaced every day if we used them up. Nice large toilet roll. One service was not satisfactory - cleaner did not clean the basin (had beard hair in it). The taps in the bathroom and kitchen are very stiff to turn on - thus when you do get them on, they spurt a hard and fast amount of water (we always got wet). The kitchenette served the purpose - everything we needed to do simple cooking. The trains being so close was not an issue - never woke once during the night. Highly recommend this place and would happily come back again. Thank you!

Excellent place to stay - helpful friendly staff, very clean and comfortable in the perfect location within easy walking distance to train station, buses and trams. Highly recommend whether staying for short or longer term. Will definitely stay here whenever visiting Melbourne.

Always stay at the Oaks, Sth Yarra, when we visit. Convenient to everywhere we want to go to. Staff friendly. Unit has all we need.

We were very grateful that we could check in early.... 2 hrs early. Just a simple phone call was all that was needed, to give them advance notice of our early arrival. However, at reception they weren't clear on "which car park" we could use....3 car parks down the road. Caused a bit of confusion in the small street as we didnt know which one to enter. So it meant one of us had to run back to hotel to clarify exactly which one it was (on a busy Fri in Melb!) All ended well when we entered tbe correct one. Maybe i didnt listen to Adam properly at the beginning....maybe he just didnt tell me, i cannot remember. Anyway, it should be on a printed map for guests to see exactly where to go if they have a car to park. Other than that issue, all was very good & we enjoyed our stay.
