Guest Reviews

• Tallira (6/5): -
• Celia (8/5): - Good location for my work. Easy stay. Nothing.
• Glen (10/5): Floorless - Great location for me , nice and quiet and hotel next door There was nothing I didn’t like the property is very dated though
• Yvonne (5/5): Overall comfortable and great food. - We like staying at Dorset Gardens as handy to family. The beds are always great and clean. The Bistro food is unbelievable The room we stayed in this time unfortunately the furniture was fairly shabby and scratched. Our rooms have normally been better. I am aware the Motel is getting rather old. We had trouble opening the door and had to go to reception twice and then they changed the batteries and ok then. We still like staying there and will return.
• Gregory (7/5): Staff and room a solid 8/10 - Clean
• susan (6/5): -
• Alanna (7/5): - Great bistro next door. Very spacious and lots of bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Great kitchen. Great place for a large group. Easy to get to on public transport. Very comfortable beds. Can’t open windows (they are screwed shut) so a bit stuffy/musty. Both nights there was a night club next door at pub. Couldn’t hear it but heard people leaving in car park late at night.

• Jason (10/5): -
• John (7/5): Ok - Location The Motel section looked and feels old and tired
• Benjamin (4/5): Good for one night stay - Quiet, room was clean, Bed sheets didn’t feel fresh
• Ian (5/5): If your just looking for a bed for the night then it would suffice. - Although small, the bed was comfortable The accommodation is very old and tired and badly needs updating. The plumbing vibrated horrendously (sounding like a tractor) when using the shower and just have woken a fair few of the other guests in nearby rooms.

• Hansberry (3/5): - Hot water took 10 minutes to come through. Bathroom tiles loose. The room smelt like someone had been smoking in it.
• Jodi (8/5): -
• Mary (8/5): Great budget motel in Melbourne's outer east - I've stayed here a few times before and it's consistently good. Good value, helpful considerate staff, good facilities, clean and fresh, comfortable bed, quality towels and linen. Slightly bigger fridge would be helpful, particularly for longer stays.
• Martin (6/5): Ok - Location Rooms need an update
• Jason (10/5): -
• Jacqueline (8/5): -
• Jason (7/5): Good, cheap accom - The location was perfect for my sons wedding which was in a winery 15 minutes away. The room was basic but you get what you pay for. Everyone parks wherever so i couldn't park out the front of our room and the car that was parked out the front of our room was loud and woke us up when they turned it on early the next morning. It is what it is. For the price you pay you cant be too pickey
• Susan (7/5): We enjoyed our stay and meals and the bed was extremely comfortable - It was handy to where I was the food was great and the beds very comfortable Tv was very basic and rooms were dated

• Kim (7/5): Room very clean with convenient parking right outside room - Very clean with comfortable beds. Nothing. Property was as expected.
• Collett (8/5): Great location, well appointed, clean and comfortable room with only a couple of minor negatives. - Large, well appointed and well equipped room. Very clean. Bed excellent. Was nice to walk into a cool room on a very hot day. Large bathroom area. Large parking space at the door. Bistro was great, great food and service (could have had a doggy bag but it couldn't be accommodated in the tiny, shelfless fridge. Fridge was very small with missing shelves, door retainers and lid on the miniscule freezer (which hadn't been defrosted for a long time and was almost unusable because of frost build-up. TV could only receive one channel (staff came to reset the tv and it improved significantly). Basin taps were missing their hot/cold signs (not a problem for an adult but a potential issue for kids.

• Beverly (8/5): -
• Scott (3/5): -
• Jodi (1/5): - Nothing. I payed for a day and the manager, Anthony, told me to leave. I was asleep. He woke me up and gave me no explanation nor a refund. I'm not aggressive so I just agreed. As above.
• Dale (9/5): -
• Simon (7/5): Comfortable and convenient. - The location suits me for the purpose of the visits. I have stayed here quite a few times. The rooms are getting quite tired not worth the money you pay for them.
• Lynette (8/5): -
• Richard (5/5): -
• Karen (9/5): -

• LORNA FAIVA (6/5): Room 25 - Home away front o The room wasn't clean been here so many times this time it was very disappointment room smelt strong with bad body odour floor carpet was wet from not sure the dishes was not washed properly had to wash them b4 use.
• Graham (5/5): Average motel accommodation - room average size, was clean. Bed was comfortable although had a dip in the middle. Bathroom ok although the step in shower caused difficulty due to my mobility issues. Step in shower as above, the height of the step into the room and the lack of sloped access from the car park to the pathway to the rooms. The hotel section is modernised but motel rooms need to be brought into the 21st Century.

• Andrea (10/5): -
• Ella (6/5): -
• Butler (8/5): -

• Faye (8/5): - Everything Couldn't stay longer!!!
• Kath (5/5): - The location Very run down
• Mick (7/5): -
• fiona (8/5): -
• Lynda (7/5): The staff were very friendly, the room could use some updating, the location was convenient - The room was clean and tidy The room was very dated, the hot water vanity tap screamed, the bathroom door didn't close, and the toilet door was hard to close and open
• Arcadius (10/5): -
• Auspeeps (5/5): Familiar but no longer fabulous. - Check in was friendly and efficient. Access to parking right outside our room. We chose to remain on site and had dinner in the hotel restaurant. Service was average, food was similar to pub food and perhaps a little overpriced. We were excited to return to DG after many years but found that the room appears not to have been refurbished since the 70s. Although comfortable and equipped with a toaster & kettle, the room was small and dated. These rooms were considered quite plush back in the day, disappointing that they haven't been updated. You definitely need your own transport as DG is not centrally located.
• Heather (7/5): -
• Belinda (5/5): - Needs a refurb very old
• Belinda (8/5): -
• Vince (8/5): -
• Claire (7/5): -
• Hannah (1/5): - My key card wouldn’t work tried to fix the issue many times during the night but still wouldn’t work
• JO (8/5): Quiet comfortable & affordable. Would stay here again. - Bar fridge stayed on all of the time and froze all drinks and food.
• Kevin (7/5): Clean and comfortable motel room in close proximity to an event I was attending. Good restaurant - Convenient to location of an event I was attending and low cost. Restaurant was good. No cafe within walking distance
