Lily Sands Inn

We spent 10 days there mainly because of AO 2024. It was good enough to lay down your head for the night. It is really close to CBD. Beds were comfy enough. We had been provided with towels. There was only one staff during our stay but he made our room if we requested to. Absolutely loved the bathroom. It is equipped with every basic needs. Room had small fridge. Also a water heater with cups, tea and coffee. All in all we loved our stay there, although we left 22nd Jan we still haven't got back our 100 AUD deposit for the room. We even left some gift for the lovely stuff but there are no refunds just yet.

Room is not really spacious but we did not really care. We were only there to sleep. Maybe one thing that was getting annoying during our 10 days stay was the hallway door. They need to install some "anti-collision" system on the doors because once it closes it shakes the walls. At the end of stay there were some strange people went we left the building it was kinda crazy. Not sure how they got into the building they seemed homeless but they have claimed to left their keys inside their rooms.

Our room was on the top floor, had beautiful trees right outside the windows and a view of the city in the background. It's only a short walk to the tram which will take you into the city or connect you wherever you need to go. Plenty of food locations and things to see within walking distance. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and I really loved the aesthetics of the room. The aircon and mini fridge were big bonuses for us. I also appreciated that we were able to enter and exit without having to walk through big lobbies like you would at a hotel, it was very comfortable and I would definitely choose to stay here over a hotel again.

You can hear a little bit of noise through the walls but the other guests were very respectful during our stay so it wasn't an issue for us and we didn't receive any complaints the one night we played some music before going out. I'd just suggest to be aware of your noise level so you aren't disturbing your neighbours.

Stay was wanderful. I went there for my exam and stayed at Lily sands Inn. I had my check-in at 1400 hrs but my flight was early in the morning so the management was generous enough to allow us to check in at 1200 noon which was very kind of them. They even upgraded us to penthouse suit. Hotel was quiet n comfortable that allowed me a space to prepare for my exam. I appreciate their effort 🙏🏻

Really friendly staff. Walking distance (5min) to F1GP, also easy stroll to CBD (about 40min). Lots of eateries and cafes close by, again in easy walking distance

Price was high, but given F1GP weekend then only to be expected.

Room was a little smaller than expected, but bed was comfortable and we were not able to hear people in other rooms or outside noise so that was nice. Great location.

furnishings could do with an update.

Clean and comfortable. Good location for our event in South Melbourne. Easy free parking in street outside.

A little expensive compared to other accommodation but it was Caulfield Cuo weekend so premium time in Melbourne.

2 single beds- great as it was my daughter and I staying there. Super quiet

I would have liked a spare pillow in the room- it was too late for staff to get me one when I needed one.

Great location close to tram stops for CBD. Clean and tidy.

The advert says it has smart tv but there is nothing smart about it. Cannot watch YouTube/ Netflix etc.

Great room, with plenty of space. Perfect location, close to where I wanted to be and quiet. Beds were comfortable and made for a good night's sleep.

Check-in process

Lovely service and continental breakfast

Cutlery and plates, bowls, for use with microwave would have been handy
