Punthill Manhattan

Upon arrival, we were upgraded from a two bedroom apt to three bedrooms. This gave our family plenty of space to enjoy our time in Melbourne i.e. we didn't feel the need to leave the apt so our energetic young boys (ages 5 & 3) could run around. Ample space for us all! The spacious bathroom was also an advantage for families.

Being near street level, we were open to a certain amount of noise. Luckily, our boys stayed in the back bedroom (now that we could choose from 2 bedrooms for them). People in the upstairs apt were up late and there was plenty of noise on the balcony, partially due to the constant scraping of chairs. This would have woken my children had they slept in the front bedroom (Room 101). I was up late doing work so instead I had to deal with this disruption. My husband stated that he didn't hear anything once he went to bed in the middle room so I was pleased to hear that.

Fabulous central location amongst galleries, cafes, restaurants and the boutique precinct. Easy distance walking from all transport including the free inner city tram loop.

Noisy if other guests were loud

nothing - should have stayed at the Medina again

Yes, The hotel did not have my reservation, made to fell like I was an inconvenience. I was put in a ground floor room that when anyone came in at night I was woken by what sounds like the people were in my room. Now I'm chasing $180.98 that was charged to my credit card after I left. I'm in the hospitality industry in Cairns & this has left a bitter taste.

It's in the CBD area

The room was disgusting, felt like I was staying in a basement, the view was of a concrete parking lot. Cords and pipes hanging from the roof. The room had nothing going for it. Total disappointment
