Nightcap at Matthew Flinders Hotel

Booked the Nightcap at Matthew Flinders for the great price on offer and also the reasonably positive reviews. This was perfect for our two night stay in Melbourne for a wedding and relo crawl on that few days. Checking in late around 10:45pm was though the Gaming Room at the rear of the complex The staff there were very friendly and chatted with me while waiting for the manager to check us in. All went smoothly considering it was very late and my wife was feeling weary after flying in from Brisbane. The room was a good size, clean with a comfortable double bed and a single that was handy for laying out clothes etc. The shower was nicely refurbished and the water flow was hot and strong. Cant really fault the stay as it met all of our needs and the value for money was excellent. The location was only half hour from most places we needed to visit so overall a well positioned hotel for a short stay in Melbourne. Nestled in beside Bunnings it was nice and quiet for a busy road location. Would definitely stay again if we need to be that side of town.

The staff is friendly, the hotel has a parking slot so it suits there visitors coming with a car

Very highly disappointed because the is no basic needs in the room. I have 2 year old toddler with us, I wanted a microwave in the room to heat his food and milk. Upon check in it self I even ask the reception guy if there is any stove in the room and he said 'maybe there would be one', no knowledge about basic things about rooms. I also ask if I can upgrade the room and he said someone is occupied in room 1 but through out the stay its look like no one in the room. Through out my travelling journey anywhere we stayed there is always basic like microwave, toaster and etc but this one is very disappointing. Nevertheless, cleanliness and the location is very good. Thanks

Convenient location - great value - staff are very courteous.

Comfortable beds and pillows. Lovely rain shower with updated bathroom. Only negative was the wheels on beds that didn't lock and when you sat on the bed it moved quite a bit.

We arrived at midnight and the reception was closed. I called the hotel and they told me to check-in at the gaming centre. The room is generally very clean and the bed and sheets are comfortable. But the kettle is terribly dirty with something stuck at the bottom. The reception opens at 10 and I headed for an early checkout by leaving the key to the staff. The service hour of the reception is really short.
