normally stay at the pullman for an overnight footy function but as the price has gone up - thought Id try a different option. Wow how different - funky contrempory arty just fabulous. Every detail was clean modern and sooo stylish. Went back with a friend for a coffee in the bar area and we both thoroughly enjoyed. absolute 5 star and about half the price of the Pullman.

A great first time experience with The Motley from the moment we were greeted by the welcoming receptionist until our checkout. A delightfully designed boutique hotel with comfortable beds and pillows. Perfect location for our weekend of football at the MCG. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants - and we even walked to the Fitzroy gardens from here. Loved everything. We will be back 😊

I loved the check in and check out times 2pm and 11am. The 24hr checkin also was excellent for us as we were coming late from a wedding. The room was lovely, just a bit stuffy so I opened the window.

Very happy with our stay, but was disappointed no one answered my message regarding parking. If I knew it was offsite I would not have booked as I had my elderly mother with me.Although the parking itself was fine. It was the fact I had to drive in the back of the Motel Hotel drop my mother off with the luggage. On booking out there was really no where to park my car to be able to pick my mother and luggage up. So I had to make her walk with it all. I Just feel like no one responded to my message so we would have to stay. Wont be staying again with my mother but I would stay if I was on my own.

Nice hotel. Don’t be put off by immediate vicinity
This is a lovely hotel. I stayed for 8 nights in January and booked because it was walkable to the tennis and good value. I was a little thrown by the graffiti in the neighbourhood when I first arrived but once I explored the area I realised that there are some lovely streets/properties and some great cafes on Bridge and Swan. The tram stop is right outside and is close to a nice wine shop, supermarket and laundry if you need provisions. Do book the balcony room as it affords a great view over the Olympic Park and to the city - well mine did on the 7th floor!

Such a beautiful hotel! Thank you for a fantastic stay! We had our first ever trip to Australia for the Open and appreciated how convenient it was to get around. That stop right outside your entrance was great but we also enjoyed the walks to and from the grounds. I’m sorry we didn’t catch a time in your bar/restaurant. Next time!

The staff went above and beyond, even tracking us down when my son left his watch in the lounge.
And the signature aroma that they have is intoxicating…… can’t recommend enough
