Located on the lane, doesn't seems like a hotel from outside. Museum, Exhibition, Cafe and free Tourist Tram are nearby, you can hop-on the tram for free and hop-off in many interesting places in town. Walking distance to Lygon Street and Victoria Market. Poor service from a lady in the receptionist with her 'Don't care style ', Deposit Box are... More

We are very happy with the service, location near Lygon Street and the city and the excellent breakfasts at reasonable prices. Our room had a table and two chairs and a great kitchen area. The bed was comfortable and we liked the free wifi and access to lanes and coffee shops. The free tram so close is also attractive. It... More

This would have been hard to find without a GPS, being down a little lane near China Town. However, this meant that we didn't have trams and buses going past, and we enjoyed quiet nights in our studio room. Fraser Place is within walking distance to Federation Square, Southbank, and the main streets in Melbourne. We managed to park our... More

Thank-you for taking the time to review our property; I am glad to hear that you felt you received value for money and that, despite being tucked down a laneway (which we feel is quintessentially Melbourne), our location was of convenience for exploring the city. We certainly agree with your comments regarding the need for additional seating in our studios,... More

My wife and I stayed two nights. It started badly, with having to navigate a narrow back alley to find the place - not a nice street. The 'reception' looks like an after-thought. I paid by credit card on arrival but was then asked to pay an additional AUD150 for bond - how rude! We had a Delux King Studio... More

Iwas surprised at the value this apartment hotel offered. From the time I arrived early on a Sunday till I checked out the following Wednesday nothing was really a problem. The hotel is two towers and one tower was closed for repairs so perhaps the staff were more attentive than normal but nothing was a problem. Excellent free wifi as... More

Booked for 5 nights but only ended up staying 1 1/2 nights due to hotel flooding. The whole tower was evacuated and floors between ground and 8th were flooded due to an irresponsile guest that decided to turn on the fire hydrant in the fire stair well on the 8th floor. This all happened just after midnight. It was a... More

Each year, my husband and myself, and two other couples stay at Fraser Place for the Melbourne F1. We always enjoy our stay and never have any complaints. Booking is easy, and our request of all being on the same floor is always met. This year, we arrived at 10am on a very hot day (38c). The lady at reception... More

Great location but, rooms are overpriced and disappointing. The room we stayed in was old and in need of refurbishment. Bathroom clothesline was missing. We had a balcony but all natural light was blocked by a wall so it was dark all the time. The bathroom on check in was not properly cleaned and there were still hairs on the... More

Not a great hotel – the room was ok but overpriced considering the lack of internet for hours on end (sometimes up to a day – with the excuse that there are too many people online!), the phonelines being out for half a day on two separate occasions, and the lack of interest/empathy from the staff. Only one lift in... More
