Nice room with all the bare minimum necessities, quite clean, well maintained and overall very good for the price. Lovely location and spacious property.

The reception was not staffed at all times, and there were no intercoms in the room, so it was a bit difficult to ask for help when needed. We stayed in the back of the building on the 1st floor and the entrance doors needed some maintenance as it was easy to get locked out because of the faulty lock system. Definitely recommend saving the motel's reception number on your phone for instances like that!

Price point was great and staff were really friendly. Property was very dated but facilities mostly in good order (i.e. the shower screen had been replaced as well as the sealant). The hot water was excellent and the shower pressure was great. Parking was also great and the place was easy to get to.

There weren't as many things provided as I thought there would be, for example no tissues or shower cap. It was also quite cold and there were no additional blankets. The toilet top was broken and the buttons were covered in dirt. The lock on the bathroom door didn't work, and as the door to the room opened straight into the room without an entryway, I felt a little exposed. Also, while being on Bell Street was great for location, the room being on that side of the block meant it was so noisy, even with the windows closed, so I didn't get very good sleep the nights that I stayed due to the traffic.

The motel was great. I loved that they didn't have housekeeping visit during my stay so I didn't have to worry about people coming in or wasting water washing sheets and towels after one use. I really liked the use of the zero co products in the bathroom as they're good quality and sustainable. The staff were lovely and I appreciated being able to keep my luggage there until my late flight home. It was a pretty short walk from shops, the tram and bell train station, however I wouldn't recommend staying here on a first visit to Melbourne just because it's away from the city centre and doesn't have a full concierge like you would get in a full hotel or backpackers.

It was a bit further out of town than I would've liked. I wanted to explore the inner north but probably should've stayed a bit closer to Clifton hill or Fitzroy. I wouldn't have minded some dishwashing liquid so I could wash my own dishes, another type of tea on offer (English Breakfast!) and maybe another blanket in the cupboard would've been good.

Very clean hotel and close to everything we wanted to see and do in the area. Close stroll to High st for a yummy dinner. Easy drive to Preston market. The rooms were really spacious and very clean. The spa bath was a bonus. Very secure hotel. Friendly managers to boot!

If I am being honest the bed wasn't great but everything else made up for it and I would still stay again. I have had worse!

We were only there for the three days to visit my brother who has/still been very ill. The location to him in Preston was a minimal drive so we hit the jackpot by securing a room in the Bell Motel. The room was ample and all we needed for our stay. We would stay there again if need be. Cheers to Pamela and the team.

As part of that minority that are smokers, due to the inclement weather there are no covered areas to sneak a cigarette.

Comfortable bed, nice nightstand with lamps, table for eating. Plated and flatware provided in microwave. Pamela was helpful and friendly!

It would have been nice to know there were plates and flatware as we had takeaway food which we ate before looking in microwave!

I was upgraded to a ground floor, very large room. We were then able to extend our stay for two more nights. This saved walking up steps during our 5 days in Preston. Instant hot water meant the shower was easy to control. Large, absorbent towels. Nice to have a microwave.

This is an old-style, 3-star motel, with an old air conditioner that took a fair time and generated lots of noise, to heat the room. There was only one small table to work at. I used my own extension cords and power boards in order to have sufficient electrical points. None of this was a problem, as we knew this was an older-style, 3-star motel.

the staff at the desk were very helpful with everything i needed help with a big smile.bed comfortable and not too far from a shopping centre that had everything we need and eaterys and transport close by highly recommend

couldnt really fault anything to be honest stayed there a few times and will into the future aa well

Room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and the internet access was acceptable. I have stayed here before and will stay here again next time I have something on in that part of Melbourne

A little bit of noise from passing traffic seeing the room faces a main road. I couldn't fully close the window in the bathroom so that let a bit of noise in.

Simple and comfortable facilities at a great price in a great location. The staff were very welcoming and it was perfect for what we needed.

Some dishwashing liquid and a teatowel would be helpful as the mugs, cutlery and plates didn't get cleaned during our 3 night stay. Not sure what the rule was with that but washing them in the bathroom sink was tricky.
