    Not much near it in the way of restaurants compared to other areas closer to town.

    Everything worked, there were no little bits tgat annoyed you. Staff were great, food was better than I expected. Tram connections were often and literally stopped outside.

    The Staff member that checked me in was friendly and patient. Nothing was too much bother for her. Location was great. CLose by the the MCG, not far from the city and having Coles close by for those forgotten items was great. Rooms were extremely clean. View from the 8th floor was fantastic. Having Mrs Parkers and the Thread Bar onsite was so convenient. Would Highly recommend.

    Bathroom layout was pokey. Door opens into toilet so have manouvre around a bit to close door.

    Perfect location for exploring the city. Super comfortable bed, very spacious room, great view, and loved having opening door onto balcony to get some fresh air.

    Breakfast was a big let down …sadly… Parking also a little difficult. There are 4 hour spaces out the back of the hotel, but for the quality of the hotel you almost expect some mode of hotel parking.

    Rooms were beautiful and met all expectations. Loved the rooms…super sophisticated for a great price. Amazing modern tech for room entrance and doors etc… Lovely and amazingly quiet. The family room is two rooms connected and not all in one, but has small entrance way with one main lockable door for both rooms, which wasn’t a problem with teenagers, but might be with younger children. Would definitely stay again.

    We could not get anything to eat when we arrived on the Sunday evening after a long journey. The restaurant was not open on Monday evening which was also inconvenient.

    Breakfast was excellent. We thought the location was a bit too far from the centre of town but this was not a problem as the tram stopped right outside the hotel. The room was a little cramped but otherwise excellent quality.

    We stayed at The Motley while in town for The Formula 1. After staying in city centre the past few times we decided on The Motley in Richmond due to it's location. Outlet shopping stores nearby, Coles down the road and a tram stop right outside the door. The hotel itself was gorgeous upon entering. Staff super friendly upon check-in and we enjoyed the free drink cards upon arrival. We made great use out of the Red Bull "Pit Stop" and goodie bags supplied each day over the weekend - it was a nice touch! We also made a reservation at Miss Parker's one night and thoroughly enjoyed the food, decor and atmosphere. Although portion sizes were smaller than expected, we could not fault the food itself. Delicious. Table service was fantastic! Sharp and attentive and made us feel warm welcomed. The room had modern facilities, was spacious for 2, clean and vibrant. After walking about all day in Melbourne we come back to unwind using the large shower.. soft bathrobe.. The bed was comfortable, a tad too soft for my liking but that is just a personal preference :) Since returning from our trip I highly recommend The Motley to everyone I know. Thank you Motley team. You were fantastic! We were surely impressed with how much thought and care you have put into this for all your guests. We are certain we will come stay again.

    The twin room I booked was made up as a king bed instead of as a twin but the staff acted quickly and corrected the error. Would have loved a biscuit in the room.

    Lovely decoration, great beds, lovely bathroom. Loved the coffee machine in the room. Very clean. Friendly staff.
