Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Oakwood Premier Melbourne is highly rated, and guests often praise the spacious studios and executive suites, particularly those on higher floors like level 36, for their magnificent city views. Many appreciate the well-equipped kitchens and the convenience of having amenities like a washing machine. The location is convenient for accessing South Melbourne Market and South Wharf shopping centre, though some guests have noted its proximity to the highway. The games room with a pool and ping pong table seems to be a popular amenity, and the buffet breakfast is often described as delicious with many options.

Really good Stay with Amazing Views

super clean room amazing view excellent service

The housekeeping team maintained my room spotlessly throughout my stay. i appreciated the amazing view from my room. Every morning and evening felt special. the service was excellent. The staff were warm, professional, and always helpful. i felt welcome there.

i found no pool, sauna, steam room, or spa facilities, disappointing. there was only a game room equipped with a snooker table and a ping pong table..

fantastic stay!

spacious studio early check-in

the beautiful studio was very spacious. the in-room facilities were great. the bed (i think it was a king-size) was the best i've slept in for a long time. it wasn't too hard. early check-in was much appreciated as i arrived early (around 10am).

i noticed no water in the fridge. i would have expected more for what i paid.
