Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in, have stayed many times and will go back again and again. Easy walk to everything that Melbourne has to offer from casino, restaurants, shopping, museums, public transport etc . The rooms are always clean and beds are comfortable. They are always more than happy to hold our baggage when we check out which is convenient to come back after a morning breakfast and a shop. Thanks you for another great stay"

"The ammenties are nice here, facilities, easy parking always available, and you leave feeling like yob ehad a value for money experience every time. But what sets Nesuto apart.from others, for me .is the staff and how accommodating, professional, available , any issues get solved so quickly that you hardly notice them and just move on. Always go above and beyond standard expectations. And if like to take this opportunity to say thskyiuysmd that it's nice to know one place still remembers what true hospitality really is"
