Guest Reviews

• Jess (8/5): - Was easy check in and out, bed was comfy and everything was clean. Will definitely stay there again.
• Grant (8/5): - Enjoyed my few hours here with a escort from Belmont
• Nagabhushan (2/5): - Worst experience from this Motel, Never recommend to any one as if they offer free also we can't sleep over the night, still not able to understand why they are running this Motel.
• Youssef (2/5): - Won’t recommend it to anyone
• Paul (8/5): - Look the place has seen better years but it was clean and had everything I needed and my opinion it was perfect for my needs and would use again
• Daryl (2/5): - If I had to tell the truth, this place needs to be pulled down. Old, dirty and felt unsafe. I was advised by the local hotel not to Leave anything in the room. Pack them and keep them in the car.
• David (6/5): - Good location for those wanting to get on highway to Melbourne
• Lorrae (2/5): - Unsafe light switch,broken window, very sub standard accomodation, no hand soap!
• Shane (4/5): - Facility was not very clean
• Jason (10/5): - Clean rooms n hot shower, the road noise with trucks on the hiway maybe be a problem for light sleepers
• Mana (2/5): - There was no shower curtain so the bathroom floor got very wet while showering, walls in dining area needed a wash, no complimentary shampoo/conditioner, no dish cloth /tea towel for dishes, no Wi-Fi, no hairdryer
• Rebecca (2/5): - It’s never a good look when you pull back the covers of the bed to reveal someone else’s hair. Sitting on the toilet was a rocky event as it wasn’t securely attached to the floor. A very roughly done bathroom upgrade has it looking grimy and icky. No tv remote and the first room I asked to get moved from was mouldy and stinky. Convenient to spirit of Tasmania terminal but if you want some sleep stay somewhere else as it’s super noisy here too.
• James (4/5): - The price was in USD only when you pay it goes to AUD
• JENNI (8/5): - The property was a little dated but clean and comfortable and close to Spirit of Tasmania. A great place to eat down the road at Gateway Hotel, Buffet to die for
• Chris (4/5): - Very basic accommodation. Bedding and towels clean but the rest appears to have received little attention for many years.
• Philip (2/5): - Room 3,The room was Claustrophobic had to get on the bed from the end, Shower had no screen, Hot water took a long time to get to the tap, Room had not been properly cleaned, Road noise was horrible, you will need ear plugs.
• Trevor (10/5): Ideal jump off point for Tassie - Clean +++ comfy and surprisingly quiet. V handy to Tassie ferry
• Jennifer (2/5): - it was convenient for us to go to spirit of tasmania. they need to update the room. bathroom didn't close/lock someone close to our had tv on very loud and kept us awake.
• Andrew (6/5): - Convenient
• Roy (2/5): - it was a pig sty and unsuitable too stay asked managment for a refund and said no
• Mal (4/5): - Bath room needs a lot of work . It was clean but is was falling apart
• Terry (4/5): Very substandard - I found the room to be in pretty poor condition, Paint peeling, there was boards missing so exposed underfloor near the toilet, Aircon struggled to work efficiently and noisy. Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I stay at a lot of hotels for work, and this has been the worst one in a long time.
• Bobbi (4/5): - This is an old property and I was aware of this before booking. i was comfortable with old however the dirty was unexpected. The sheets and towels were clean however I was unable to shower and the floor was dirty and grimey and the the bathroom was filthy. I have photos if you require tham
• Blake (10/5): - 👍
• Jon (8/5): - Nice place to stay on a budget.
• Tara (8/5): - A bit dodgy on the outside. Fine but basic inside.
• Jai (2/5): - Power point hanging out wall un safe
• Dinesh (2/5): - Not clean. Not worth for the money that we are paying.
• Bethany (6/5): - The door took ages to lock, room needs some work
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Property is basic and a great option for an overnight stay prior to a morning Spirit of Tasmania sailing
• Deborah (8/5): - The property was clean
• Dieter (4/5): - I was given a room which had black mould on the ceiling and wall. Above the hand basin tiles were missing exposing more mould. The light in the bathroom had the cover missing exposing wires. All in all it was dangerous. I complained to staff who thankfully gave me another room which was still filthy but the facilities were at least in working order. IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN
• Erik (4/5): - I will say that the linnen was clean but everything else was not. In general a Very run down place
• Elizabeth (2/5): - Badly needs a make over. Bathroom was dirty, no shower curtain. Bedroom very small. TV out of order.
• Ernst (6/5): - Very little concern on safety, no chain on front door, complete open walkway along all top rooms, anyone could force access. NOT recommended for Female travelers
• Dennis (8/5): - Ok
• Rodney (2/5): - Bed was terrible
• Kathy (2/5): - The only thing unique about this property is that i have never seen such a run down facility. I walked out. I could not shut the door. It was swinging when I got there. Holes in the carpet, chipped wood cupboard. Rubbish piled high by the big bin. Stairs unsafe/rotten. It was the worst place I have ever seen. I truly felt sick and left
• Barbara (6/5): - Good for just an overnight stop. Needs an update.
• Clayton (4/5): - Was cheap only good part about it
• Tracey (2/5): - Like a Brothel
• JOBY CYRIAC (4/5): - Conjusted, very old power switches, no complimentary drinking water, damaged kettle,
• Lauren (4/5): - Very basic. If you just want a room to sleep in as you're out most of the day, this will do. Otherwise, steer clear. Beds were comfortable and the air con was new. Everything else was pretty shabby. There were cracks in the ceiling, power points were hanging from the wall, the smoke alarm was hanging from the roof with visible masking tape where it had been taped to the ceiling, the TV remote battery cover was absent and the remote was held together with copious amounts of sticky tape and only worked intermittently. The wooden wall in the shower was rotted and cracked. The only window in the room looked out to a fence and concrete. Never again.
• Anthony (10/5): - I have stayed at this motel several times. I would recommend this hotel..
• Ray (2/5): - Sewerage spewing from manhole in car park Atrocious smell
• JENNIFER (2/5): - I telephoned Wotif on Sat to requested refund. I was unable to stay at Corio Motel due to the mould & ondition of the motel. I was told ai will be regunded once you spoke to the motel owner Sandeep Veer.
• William (6/5): - Room for the night
• Kelvin (8/5): - Was great only problem was shower head as to big and toilet dripped after flushing. Will definitely stay there again as we always do when attending concerts at gateway hotel
• Kristina (2/5): - Dirty.... tiles broken. Tap almost off. We didn't shower there... first time I haven't used a shower. Perhaps the worst place I have ever stayed. One flat pillow each. Stairs on landing... wood was rotting.
• kerriwynne (2/5): - This hotel is filthy. Where do l begin? I think Wotif should have a look at the photos l have taken. Absolutely disgusting. Unsafe and unhygienic. I slept on the floor with my own pillow, wouldn’t even touch the shower or bed. An absolute nightmare.
• ed (6/5): - Well placed but adjacent to industrial complex with trucks in and out. Beds comfortable and good shower but noisy plumbing. Overall, Ok for the money
• Kellie (8/5): - Close to ferry terminal, good price. Very handy
• Robert (2/5): - Simply awful. Pay a little more, drive a little further
• Garry (6/5): - Need new pillows the two we had were flat old and worn out
• Kerry (8/5): - Room very old and smells of cigarette smoke. Mattress needs renewing. Needs updating!
• Geoff (8/5): - Handy to ferry terminal
• Ian (6/5): - We had clean sheets and room was as clean as it could be. Rooms need a good renovation
• David (6/5): - Was ok for somewhere to stay while working, pretty basic.
• Hilda (6/5): - Average for the price , is what it is old bit rundown but most importantly the bed was very very comfortable and crisp clean sheets and towels although we didn’t use the shower . Just a basic room good for price nothing bad .
• Rod (4/5): - Very dated, not very clean, badly in need of paint, noisy.
• Frank (4/5): - Bed & Linen very clean and comfortable. However rest of room & shower area needs a good clean
• Nat (2/5): - Horrible location, dirty and unkept, don’t go there!!
• Csaba (2/5): - We didn't get the room. We had to go somewhere else,which was good and clean.
• Mrs J (2/5): - Do not stay at this hotel. Many issues needing fixing. No key to the room and would not change to another room, bathroom had broken floor tiles in shower, tap was hard to use and faulty, shower rail was loose, poor lighting, smoke detector had no batteries and was hanging open, fridge leaking and knob broken, scrim curtain was shredded and blind slashed. It looks like it has been this way for a long time.
• Jasmine (8/5): - Lovely housekeeping staff.
• bom (6/5): - The room was basic, but that is to be expected for the price. Very old & in need of an update. Bed was terrible.
• Laura (6/5): - Convenient location but the property is very dated and needs a lot of maintenance. you get what you pay for.
• Kelum (8/5): - Clean place
• Jarrod (2/5): - Place was very run down and outdated not cleaned properly won’t stay again
• Angela (2/5): - it was easy to find. was thankful that the office closed at 9pm due to late arrival of spirit of tasmania the entry vynil had tears and was in need of replacement, there were dirty marks on the carpet and the bed covering also had dirty marks. The enrty door had to be pushed really hard to latch closed, along with the bathroom door. the room smelt very musty like spilt water not cleaned up. The kettle for coffee could not be filled at the tap, as the kettle was too bibg to get in the bathroom sink. the grassed area out side the window was disgusting. I like to let natural light into a room. but the unmown rubbish filled are was unsatisfactory. The furnishings required attention, as there was paint chipped and the back of the door was just dirty. May i suggest that each room be inspected by maintenance and each week and upgrade items as required.
• CHRISTINA (6/5): - It was a very tired and old motel. Room was clean, but remote for the TV didn’t work. Cost for the unit left a lot to be desired. We've since stayed in other areas that were more cost effective and nicer.
• thomas (10/5): - Easy access. Easy check in. Clean property. It is a dates venue in a low socio economic area. The place is priced correctly
• Judy (2/5): - Too noisy, the traffic is bad.
• Ray (6/5): - Clean and basic, building requires maintenance and repairs urgently.
• Vanessa (4/5): - This property is very old and very shabby. Peeling paint, marks and dings in the walls greet you upon opening the door to your room. While it is clean, you can't overlook this. The atmosphere of the property feels unsafe.
• Philip (4/5): - The hotel was convenient after a sailing on the Spirit of Tas but needs a major upgrade! Furniture and fittings poor and outdated! Cheap and nasty !
• Ashah (2/5): - No Laundry on the site someone was spitting out the front of our room
• David (10/5): - Excellent older style motel, spotlessly clean. Comfortable king sized bed. Tea/coffee provided, microwave, fridge, toaster & breakfast crockery/cutlery. Rooms 23-25 are the quietest as they are off the main road. Curry on Corio serves excellent Indian food and is located in the football of nearby Corio Village shopping centre. Motel is 6 minutes away from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal.
• Jodie (6/5): - Lovely staff. Was able to wash and dry laundry overnight using machines at reasonable price. Just didn’t appreciate being woken up by inconsiderate cabin users making breakfast and playing music at 5am. Glad another camper sorted this so was able to go back to sleep. Very convenient and quiet area otherwise not far from Spirit of Tasmania drop off. Thanks ***
• Bronwyn (4/5): - No flyscreens on door or windows. Unable to open windows and therefore no fresh air. Dust was an inch thick on window sills and skirting boards Some furniture was 50 years old and not antique. Very noisey. Primitive. All linen was clean
• Andras (8/5): - Good bed and a reasonable level of noise
• Stephen (2/5): - Photo not the same as website, no hot water, shower head broken, toilet seat not attached, light hanging from ceiling, smoke alarm not in working order, website said light breakfast nothing on offer. We had booked for 4 nights left after 2 nights never going back.
• Monica (4/5): Budget basic! - Good for a basic overnight stay on a budget!
• Monsi (8/5): - No place to store used clothes but good place to stay
• Peter (8/5): - Older property, but well maintained
• ella (6/5): - less than average
• Gilbert (2/5): - The was nothing unique about this property. The location is great but the venue is disgusting. The room was filthy, the vinyl floor covering was worn through and very dirty, the carpet was disgustingly filthy covered in grease and dirt, the table and chairs were dirty and sticky the toilet seat was not attached to the Pan. the smoke alarm was hanging from the ceiling, people outside at 4.00am smoking at my room door and filling the room with smoke. Not a memorable visit after a long drive.
• Steve (6/5): - If you want budget accommodation, this is fine, i was okay with it. My room was in dire need for a major reno, but the sheets were clean, so was the bathroom. Best feature is proximity to Spirit of Tasmania ferry. Would happily stay there again to be in easy reach of relevant facilities.
• Elsa (4/5): - Bathroom antiquated and needs to be gutted. No sink in bathroom. Linen clean
• Paul (6/5): - Only good thing about our stay was the bed was clean & comfortable! Place is old & out dated. Needs a good clean & a coat of paint at the very least! Badly leaking shower, torn floor vinyl & broken smoke detector. You need ear plugs to sleep as motel is on a busy road (not their fault)!
• Hutch (2/5): - Toilet seat loose. No battery in smoke detector which is open and hanging down. Shower head wouldn’t stay up. Extra blanket which we had to use because only a doona on the bed, was smelly unappealing room
• Lyn (4/5): - Could not get wifi in room
• Douglas (4/5): - Both doors were damaged and door handle on one was hanging loose with one screw holding it on. Main door had no fixing point for security chain. No bedside light. Smoke detector hanging from ceiling inoperable. Bed linen seemed clean and bed was comfortable. Towels etc clean but shower and basin not. Location convenient for access to Tasmanian ferry terminal.
• Kevin (4/5): - Definitely not value for money. Coffee & tea supplies were only enough for 1 drink per person & milk was frozen. Only two face washers for four people, no tea towel. Only sink in kitchen (had to shave in the kitchen). The room had a build-up of dirt behind the beds.
• Thea (4/5): - We had been to the motel before, quite a long time ago, and we were happy with the motel at that time. This time, while a few things in the room appeared new, the walls and chairs were very shabby, and there was no hot water in the shower. There was only one pillow per person on the bed, and my husband normally has 2 pillows. The person who checked us in was polite and helpful. The room was quieter than I expected being next to the highway. The accommodation was quite cheap - I guess you get what you pay for!
• Cindy (6/5): - Staff was very accommodating We had no hot water for shower but they opened another room for us so we could use one
• Warren (4/5): - This is, without a doubt, the worst Australian motel room I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was appalling. The tiles behind the basin had fallen off some time ago and the exposed wall was black with gunk. The whole room was tired, like no-one had used it for several years, but the bed was comfortable enough and I did sleep well. But I didn't want to use the shower - I wasn't that desperate for one. It is the kind of standard I might expect in a Third World country for $20 a night. It is also situated directly behind the oil refinery, so it wasn't exactly a nice area, either. I chose it for its proximity to the Spirit of Tasmania terminal but it was a big mistake.
• Helen (2/5): - Terrible
• Beverley (10/5): - Friendly staff clean room very quiet
• john (4/5): - Managers were nice. The facility is just ordinary. Spend a little more and get much better
