Very friendly staff, spacious room and windows could be opened for fresh air, free orange juice/cereal and bread with jam/honey. Good location, out of busy CBD but still very close. Rooms are old fashion but everything was clean.

It was basic but adequate.

There was nothing to note which would have made our stay any more comfortable. The Arden is not a five star establishment nor was it made out to be, it was however very clean, comfortable and quiet.

Breakfast was 'continental' but better than most with bread provided, orange juice and a litre of fresh milk, much better than most places that just leave you little UHT pods and no bread. The location is perfect if you want a city retreat with trams about 50 metres away in Flemington Road, or 150 metres in Elizabeth Street. Further, if you require parking there are enough spaces (unallocated) for every room and sensibly priced with a refundable $10 deposit.

Updating the website check in time. Open and closing time was 8-8 and you couldn't check out before 8. And you had to pay 10$ for your card to the room you've already payed for. Parking lot was a little tight to drive in especially with 2 cars

Location was good. Parking lot was watched over night. Breakfast was provided as well as tea and coffee. Shower was really good. Service was easy going.

I would have preferred a ground floor but didn’t realise the building was 2 levels. Not the staff fault, mine for not checking.

The breakfast provided was adequate. Although we only used the milk. We had a fasting appointment at the hospital. The staff allowed us to check out but leave our car secure while we were at our doctors appointment. Thank you thank you.

Not enough tea bags

Available car parks, in a good location, it's spacious, the rooms are nice and big and comfortable

The noise at night was annoying, but we are from the country so anything above a cricket is annoying.

Location is central, a couple of tram stops from everything. Free parking. And it was clean. A veritable time capsule of the 80’s decor - very cute!

Furnishings are a bit dated, but you can’t have everything.

The property was clean & comfortable, in a busy part of town, close to the hospital and the city. Staff were efficient and friendly. The added bonus was free parking.

Stayed in January 2024

The stairs not real good for older people a few more lists of local places with eats

Great location for the purpose we were there and that was the Peter Mac Hospital it was very comfortable and lovely and quite.

We would have preferred wholemeal or multigrain bread for breakfast, butter rather than margarine and muesli rather than cornflakes.

The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We particularly like the glassed-in balcony with the view of a treetop. A lovely place to sit and read. We’ve never seen that in a motel before.

No lift, but no complaints!

It was basic but perfect for the location and cost. It was a wonderful flashback to the 70’s motels I stayed in as a child on family vacations! 👍

It needs updating.

It was close to the medical service we needed and parking was included in the price of the room and was close and easy to access.

Stayed in October 2023

Close to the city and public transport and are able to park the car and go anywhere without having to pay for parking

Bed was hard but that is my personal choice.

Close to the hospital. Easy to find. Good parking. Hot clean shower with good pressure. Easy to walk for a meal and walk to visit. It was quiet. Ample breakfast. Would stay again.

Too expensive

Comfortable

I prefer lactose free milk but it doesn’t matter. I think I should ring up first so milk doesn’t get wasted. I don’t eat bread and biscuits or coffee, but tea is nice. I took my own rice cakes. The bed was cold, I needed an extra blanket instead of using the heater. Save money.

I like cornflakes because I don’t like wheat.
