Medina Executive Northbank  

We stayed here for 8 nights, then travelled for a few days and returned to the hotel for an additional 2 nights. It was great both times. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and very roomy. The bedroom was a good size, not cramped, and there was a good-sized sitting area with a couch, dining table, and several chairs. The kitchen was well supplied with the basics for cooking and eating. We were in town for a conference and several friends stayed in other hotels nearby - their rooms were all tiny and uncomfortable, and they paid about the same as we did at the Medina. One night we had 7 additional people over for a drink and we were all able to sit and chat very comfortably. The staff was helpful and friendly, provided extra towels quickly when asked, things like that. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the Melbourne Convention/Exhibition Center, and the Flinders Street and Southern Cross train stations. The location couldn’t be better, whether you want access to restaurants, trains to get elsewhere in the city, or if you’re going to a conference at the center. This was a fabulous place to stay if you want comfort and to save some money by cooking a few meals yourself. And the ability to do laundry in your room! We will definitely stay here again when we return to Melbourne, no question.

The only irritating thing was having to pay extra for internet, but this seems to be standard in Australia - it's not included anywhere, so I guess we can't really hold it against this hotel. It was $11 an hour, $22 for 24 hours, or $66 for the week. It's also only an ethernet cord (provided in the room). We brought our Apple airport from home so that we could have wireless for all our devices, and just ponied up $66 for the week. It worked out fine.

Great restaurant and friendly staff.

A bit out of town but there was a tram stop accross the road to take you to the city.

Close to Melbourne Convention Centre.

We were in a Kng Bed apartment. The layout was fantastic and facilities were very good.

Very pleasant staff, cleanliness, comfort especially the beds, ideal kitchen for a small place, at last a room with a practical vanity, location excellent for travel to the tennis and in fact to anywhere.

The shower being sited over such a deep bath, and also the shower head which was not user friendly ,as it did not come out far enough from the wall, given the mouldings in the bath. (I am firmly of the belief that most travellers, from 30+ would rather have a large walk-in shower, than one over a bath; the latter are very dangerous. Has a survey ever been done?) The lack of sun blocking curtains in the lounge was not ideal, but given that a large building being constucted next door will before too long block the morning sun, and sadly views across the Yarra,it would be a waste to put some in. during the refurbishing process.

The apartment was as described on the web and the photos' were accurate, not like other places I have stayed. Bathroom was large and that certainly was fantastic. The security of the building was excellent and the cleaning staff were very friendly and courteous. I would stay here again if the price was right.

My only complaint was although the Television set worked in the living area there was no colour.

Close to many facilities/attractions I wanted to visit Close to transport

It was self contained, spacious and confortable. It was within walking distance to most amenities I wanted to go to. This is the fourth time that I have stayed there.

An excellent experience with Medina. Yet again!

Fantastic value for money with one bedroom apartments at great rates and good facilities

Only problem was a dirty ashtray left on the balcony but staff fixed it as soon as we told them about it

The spacious feel to the apartment with good views. The room was serviced very well & always clean. Although the location was close to the Station we did find the noise of the trains a little disturbing in the mornings. The doona was very heavy for this time of year even with the cool weather that we experienced. Perhaps a lighter blanket could be another option. The staff were always friendly when we were greeted by them.

I requested and received a high floor room with a great view and balcony, TV service was good. kitchen was excellent, when I told them the clothes dryer was not working it was replaced the same day.

The roof top spa was not hot apparently it had some problem, I booked a wake up call which never came luckily I woke in time to catch my plane, they did apologize.
