Oberoi Hotels & Resorts - accommodation in Oakleigh

I always stay here when in Melbourne. Everything is walkable from here and having Brunetti Oro and Reno’s Pasta and Tiramasu across the road is a bonus. The room had a pungent smell from the pipes in the bathroom and I advised reception but the smell was there the whole 10 days. I combatted it by leaving the bathroom fan on and keeping the door closed. But before I discovered this hack I was literally sick from the smell. I didn’t use the amenities apart from the handy and cheap washer and drier $4 each but as I have terminal cancer I was glad to rest in a quiet room. They could do something about the view from Room 140 (and those on that side)as it looks onto the HVAC and pipes - even a paint and some fake grass and plants would be an improvement! I only eat toast and cereal for breakfast so the $28 was a waste for me and the machine coffee is awful. I’d stay here again just because of the familiarity with the property and its excellent location. The staff are always friendly and helpful but it would be nice to recognised as guest who’s stayed there 5 or 6 times. But I suppose I’m not the only one!!! Bed was comfy. I’ll stay again but avoid peak times (Melb Cup and Australian Open) when the prices are exhorbitant!

Great clean hotel in a great location.
