Hotel has no proper signage so easy to walk past. Arrive after 10 pm off a flight and reception not staffed. Call after hours number and guy answers phone in another language. To get into place he needs my credit card for security deposit of $100 which is pathetic for what the place is. I object to having to give credit number out from street citing security concerns and that I was not told there would be such a requirement. After giving over of details they give me a PIN number to get into the building. It takes a few attempts as it does not work properly. Then inside given instructions to open a box to get access card. This takes 10 attempts and the female phone operator who had no idea did not give me proper instructions and the man gave me better instructions to clear previous entries. After the longest and most pathetic check in to a hotel I ever had I finally get into building. Room is very spacious and more like a small apartment although dated. TV very small for size of. White tiles in bathroom and in passageway need to be careful with as could slip causing injury or permanent damage to oneself. In morning I was planning to leave suitcase with reception before having a walk around city. Reception just after 9am was not staffed so not possible. This place is not staffed properly and I feel it is more for people who want to stay longer in Melbourne like overseas students and it should not be on Expedia or Hotels.com for visitors and tourists.

Decent

The location was perfect as needed to access the train. The cleanliness of the apartment could be improved :(

Arrow on SPENCER Melbourne CBD. I don't like giving bad reviews but I feel I have no choice. We choose this hotel due to it's location as we had to catch and early morning train. We arrived at the hotel at 440pm on a Sunday. Sign stating check in until 5pm so we were on time. The building was locked and we could not access reception. I called the after hours number on a piece of paper the wall and the gentleman from somewhere answered and stated that reception closed at 3pm. I would have to send him an email with a copy of my licence before they would give me the access. I told him I did not feel comfortable sending him my licence due to this age of fraud and he told me he could not check me in. I wanted to check in face to face so I was given the address of the Arrow on Swanston which was a 25 minute walk. We walked there and spoke to the gentleman who I showed my ID and then he gave us the codes to check in. Asked for our credit card and I went to scan it and he told me i couldn't do that as I was staying at another hotel and had to enter the bond into the computer. I was so tired from travelling that I just handed it over. I wanted this to be over. We walked back to the hotel entered and it was putrid. The elevators, the halls and the stains on the door made me feel sick. We entered and there were stains on the tiles, toilet unflushed, shower stains. Sheets were clean though. NEVER AGAIN will I stay here.

Staff are terrific. Joaquim is alway very helpful & remembers who I am as I have stayed there many times. My room was excellent & the location is very suitable.

Proximity

Serviced my needs perfectly

We are 4 brothers in town for the Lions rugby tour. This place suited our needs, although is quite basic. One bedroom has an en-suite so the rest of us had to share one bathroom - and the upstairs room is served by a spiral staircase. Very basic comforts, couch and a full kitchen. There is a desk at the lobby that is attended during the day. We used the parking garage. Location is convenient to the Docklands area, Victoria Market and the trolley but we would have preferred to be closer to the CBD Overall, we were satisfied and the price was right.

Great service, convenient location with clean and tidy rooms. Bed was uncomfortable this visit and some furniture has exceeded its use by date. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

I needed to stay somewhere with short notice and whilst I was appreciative of obtaining a booking, I would never stay at Arrow Spencer Street again. Firstly, the confirmation email via booking agent I rcvd said the reception was open till late at night. Upon arrival there was a sign stating reception closed at 5pm. I contacted the listed number and ultimately (after much to-ing and fro-ing) check in was completed. When I expressed my dissatisfaction the person I spoke with said the website stated they closed at 5pm. I checked Arrow Spencer Street and it did not state this, so far as I could see. The room itself was appalling. Marks and grime all over the place. The window was utterly filthy. The wardrobe door was askew. The only seating was a cheap and nasty plastic setting and one of the chairs was wobbly. The bathroom was an utter disaster. The toilet cistern made a hideous noise for most of the night. The bathroom vanity was in an appalling state. The shower door was very difficult to maneuver and given that it was glass this was quite unsafe. The shower did not drain and within several minutes of the shower being on it turned into a foot bath and leaked on the floor. The only positive was the bed and which was quite comfortable. Overall I would rate the property at between a 1 and 2. Arrow really should have paid me to stay at the property rather than me paying a fee. It was quite simply one of the worst properties I had ever stayed in. I will never return.
