Loved it”

Loved my stay at the Oaks. Definitely recommend this hotel. This is not a luxury hotel, Oaks on William is more like living in a nice new clean apartment in the city centre. Location is great (walking distance to anywhere in the city), fast check-in, large, clean rooms, comfortable bed, kitchen with all the possible utensils you might need, large bathroom with a rain shower ( however remember to bring a shower cap as the hotel does not supply those), staff is very attentative and friendly. Based on the previous reviews, I paid a little extra for a park view room, and was not disappointed. Had great views of the city ( corner room on the 17th floor). Overall, thank you Oaks on William, I really did enjoy my stay with you, and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Melbourne :)

Perfect stay”

We stayed here for 5 nights last week. The location of this apartment is fantastic. Facing directly opposite Flagstaff Garden, the trams is literally at the doorstep. The free circle city tram is just opposite the road. Queen Victoria market is just 10 mins walk. This apartment is just perfect. With fully equipped kitchenette, we cooked a couple of meals from the fresh produce from QV market. Managed to saved a lot of money with this. I think the only minor complain is that the trash can was missing on our last day of stay, after the hsekeeping. Did I also mentioned their TV is HD? I would be glad to stay here on my future trips to Melbourne and strongly recommend it to all my friends and relatives, should they ever visit Melbourne soon. Keep up the good work, team Oaks On William!

Good value for the location”

The location was more convenient than I had expected, QVM was a short 3mins walk away, there is a tram stop right outside the hotel, the Flagstaff Train Station was diagonally across! The Studio Apartment was great in terms of size! Definitely very spacious for a solo traveller, but even for 2, there would be able space. However, the AC heater was not strong enough to heat up the room, so on colder winter nights, it might not be sufficient to keep warm. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Oaks on William, and will definitely recommend to my family and friends travelling to Melbourne!

Clean, spacious, modern”

My daughter and I stayed there for 3 days recently. We booked the room without city or park view for just over A$140. It was during off-peak season so it was quiet. We took the SkyBus from the Melbourne airport. We booked online a return fare for $30 with free hotel transfer. There was also free wifi on the bus :) Checkin was a breeze but the particular staff did not seem friendly. The lift was on the slow side but being off-peak season it did not stop bother us. The room was clean, spacious with a modern feel although the bathroom was on the small side. There were basic cooking facilities that seemed rarely used as the kettle and pots initially gave an odd taste to the water we boiled. The hotel is located on a quiet street and 10-15 mins' walk from the busier parts of Melbourne. The reception staff were very helpful whenever we approached them for help otherwise they seemed not bothered with us. So far only one greeted us when we came back. For some reason on 3 out of 4 days we were there, there was a large group of young girls loitering and sitting outside the hotel entrance. It did not give a good image to the hotel. One day we decided to jump onto the free city circle tram ride tour just outside the hotel on La Trobe St. One complete round took an hour. The tram was very popular as many locals use it for transportation as well. As a side note, we were informed that all trams rides within the city comes free of charge as of Jan 2015. After our stay, we decided to walk to the Southern Cross station to catch the SkyBus to the airport. The walk took 15 mins. Overall the Oaks is an affordable neat and clean hotel with helpful staff, and we would stay there again.

Value for Money.”

Location and affordability were the main criteria for choosing Oaks on William. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay though we only stayed for 1 night. Should we return to Melbourne again, we will choose Oaks on William over Pegasus Apart'Hotel. Perhaps internet use could be extended to 60 minutes instead of current 30 minutes.

Thank you for saving my holiday!! ”

I had a really bad experience with another hotel in Melbourne and had to find accommodation last minute. I had gone on a little holiday for the weekend to have some time to recover as I’ve been dealing with pretty bad mental health. I was left distraught and stressed from the previous hotel that did not have what I booked and were very cold. Oaks staff honestly were so amazing and kind, they calmed my anxiety and gave me a place I could feel safe and find some peace. Thank you for the stay! Even though I’ve barely left my room, I really was able to get the space and peace here that I so desperately needed.

Great stay”

We had a delightful stay at Oaks on William. We stayed in a studio, the room was exactly as expected and was clean and well equipped with kitchenette. The bed was a pretty hard, but that's a matter of personal preference. Easy to walk to any tram line and get around the cbd from this location. I would definitely recommend these apartments.

Fantastic new hotel.”

We booked this property based on it's TA rating and we were not disappointed. Check in was very quick and friendly although we changed room for an extra $10 per night to a room with a view. The rooms were identical it's just that the cheaper one faced a dark lane way and for an extra $10 we had a stunning view over Flagstaff Gardens to Docklands and the river from the 14th floor. The room was very clean, spacious and smelt brand new. It was extremely comfortable and with beautiful decor. The only thing missing in my opinion was a bath. The location was good for taking the city circle tram or for walking into the CBD or to the QV markets. The staff were all friendly and helpful and we are so glad we stayed here for our 3 night stay in Melbourne. We will be back.

Perfect stay in Melbourne ”

Oaks on William is really great! We spent a total of 5 nights here. Staff service were superb. We reached the hotel at 7am, thinking to just leave our luggages with the counter so that we can go around exploring the city. Little did we know that room was ready for us! We were very pleased with the whole experience. Room is clean and comfortable for 2 of us. I would highly recommend this hotel :)

A relaxing break”

We have stayed at Oaks on William quite a few times now, and always enjoy our stay. When we visit Melbourne again, we would stay there again.

Excellent Location & Hotel in Melbourne CBD”

Me & my girlfriend stayed 3 nights in Oaks on William on would definitely return. Hotel was perfectly located (outside Tram Stop & 10 min walk to river) with a good size room & comfy bed. We arrived at 8am and were allowed to check in immediately. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great experience and excellent value for money. keep up the good work.

Comfy apartment, value for money”

Location of apartment is somewhat at the fringe of CBD, with a tram stop right in front; the walk to Melbourne Central takes about 10min and walk to Queen Victoria Market takes about 5min. The reception staff are professional, friendly and helpful; Sana offered to help me with my luggage though a crowd just came in, I'm thankful for that. Apartment size is good, comes with kitchenette and has a balcony; bath shower head is big & nice. Overall, value for money for our 2N here. PS: We find QV Market too touristy, specialty shops selling mainly tourist souvenirs. Do take time to visit The Block Arcade and Royal Arcade; classy places with lovely interiors and unique shops mix.

Better than expected. The hotel is fairly new.”

Although the airport shuttle bus did not stop at the door step, the bus stop is very near to the hotel, so walking there with the luggage is not a problem. The room is equipped with a small kitchenette. Even though I did not cook, it is nice to have a kitchen bench top to make my cup of tea. Didn't use the microwave oven or stove. Although there is no view from the room, it did not bother us as we went out during the day and would draw the curtains when we were there at night. We went to the Crown Casino and it was easy to catch the taxi outside the hotel. Taxi fare only cost around $7 each way which is very reasonable. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Oaks on William. Will stay there again if I go to Melbourne.

Great staff & fantastic room”

I would definitely recommend the Oaks on William. From the warm, friendly, helpful staff that greet you as you arrive, to the clean, spacious room with everything you could need. I definitely recommend a park view with the stunning private terrace that catches the late afternoon sun.

Pretty close to perfect”

My stay at the Oaks on William was amazing. The staff at the reception was accommodating and friendly. The room had almost everything you needed to stay for as long as you like. Cleanliness was the top plus point of the Oaks.

Very good location and very well presented.”

I had previously stayed at an OAKs apartment at a different location in Melbourne, however this one far exceeded what I expected. Very good value for money. Great location and very well presented.

Great Service Apartment”

Great serviced apartment right in the middle of Melbourne CBD. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. Service from the hotel staff was top notch. Also, there is a decent gym with quite a lot of equipment.

Pleasant stay in the CBD”

Oaks on William is well situated for exploring the CBD with convenient trams to take you around the City. Comfortable and spacious, the only disappointment was no in-house bar or restaurant.

Enjoy my stay at oaks on william”

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and tidy during my stay. Wonderful experience with oaks on William for my first solo trip to Melbourne.

Exceptional”

We had a pleasant stay here at the Oaks on William. Our room was serviced daily and all amenities topped up. The bed was comfortable with an abundance of pillows. The balcony view was decent. Staff were friendly and greeted us daily.
