All was fine.we really enjoy staying at Docklands as it gives you easy access.

Location for docklands was good. Pool was nice. Parking was a pain- why allocate parking spots when they are already take by other guests (and was asked to wait while owner was located which was not acceptable). No added bonus for being Accor member- no bottled water in rooms or drink vouchers which we have often experienced when checking in as Accor member. I even had to ask for the 10% room discount as it hadn’t been added when we checked out.

Room and location excellent. Food at cafe downstairs very average though and needs addressing for a hotel of this standard.

Beemnz TripAdvisor review

The stay at the Sebel Hotel in Docklands wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The room was only ready for after 3pm which is quite late and staff seemed to be under pressure to turn rooms around. Being a Gold Accor member, I usually get offered a nicer room within the same or next room category, but seemed to get just the standard room on a lower floor. The apartment was OK, but quite dated and some of the furniture had rips and tears and the kitchenware was minimal and unmatched. Being lower down, meant it was a bit darker and noisier with street activity. There was no instruction booklet or hotel info provided, so when the aircon wasn't working, we had no idea how to check it or contact reception. The room cleaning was very slow, and often after a day out, we'd get home around 3 or 4pm to find that it hadn't been done yet. The room also wasn't vacuumed once during our stay and used items like coffee, milk and dish soap weren't replaced. No coffee plunger was provided, but we managed to get one from reception. The hotel is well located close to the Docklands waterfront and the major tram routes.

Dear Beem, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. You are right, and the check-in time now is 3 pm as we have been suffering the labour shortage since late last year. We are glad to see you enjoyed the location and got the coffee plunger from the reception. We are looking forward to welcoming you again and will try our best to allocate you to a higher floor. Regards, Jamie Wei

Good location, service becoming questionable

Greeting and check-in at front desk was not normal as no viewing of prior history or previous stays was done. it was like we were not expected at all.

Well Rested

Comfortable beds and spacious rooms are constant with this hotel I visit every year. Covid clean and not the bad smell that can sometimes come with that. The only annoying issue with this hotel is parking, when you are waiting to see reception. The space outside is very tight and on many occasions the spaces are not available.

Good overnight stay

Thankyou for the welcome card ,wine and chocolates ,we have stayed here for many years and found it to be a great location and service While I appreciate it was a busy time with Grand Prix ,it was nearly 4pm before we could check in after l rang twice ,I was told l would get a call when it was ready but l didn’t get the call ,this has happened previously . As I’m sure you can appreciate Docklands is not the easiest place to park and wait especially when you have been travelling all day.

Good accommodation close to Marvel

Check in experience was poor. Was quoted $484 for 2 night stay and at check in they debited my credit $400 more than quoted. You would think looking up my information that it would say how much my accomodation for 2 nights would be! Only 1 tv remote worked and when you changed channel the 2nd tv would turn on. Guest wifi was also very poor. Rooms were clean though

I expected more and my experience with you was much better

The room was lovely, but the advertisement of a gym and pool was incorrect. The fact that you could not use the gym unless you were there for induction on Thursday made it unusable, and the process to use the pool was difficult to say the least. Communication with the front desk was difficult aswell. Lastly when house cleaning came round at 3pm and husband asked if they could come back in 30 mins as we were preparing to go out. Answer was no. We had been out all day.

Dear Mr M., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at The Sebel. My apologies for the difficulty in using the Pool and GYM. The good news is they have both been BACK TO NORMAL since last weekend. There are no more restrictions on the Pool and GYM. Best regards, Jamie Wei General Manager

This is a great area and place to stay and I would defintely stay there again with clean, quiet well appointed rooms. There are a few things that would improve the experience ... you need to provide - tissues in the room, a toilet brush cleaner, sanitiser, more milk than just three little containers for two adults, information on how to use the washer/dryer, make using the gym and pool area alot simpler and friendlier, better recognition of Accorplus/gold members. This was a mix of business and recreation. I travelled with a family member.

Dear Libby We appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Sebel Melbourne Docklands. I heard all your advice and have started to take action on your feedback. The good news is that the Pool and Gym have been BACK TO NORMAL operation since last weekend. That means there are no more restrictions on the use of the Pool and GYM. Best regards, Jamie Wei General Manager

As always a pleasant stay

Check in procedures seem to be different depending on who is at the front desk. It would be nice if the procedures were consistently applied.

Ok, facilities were disappointing.

lbyr18 Business - TripAdvisor review

The room was great, as you'd expect from a Sebel. The most disappointing part was the gym and pool. I believed it was part of the hotel, but it is in an adjoining residential Sebel block. This meant that there is quite a laborious process to use the pool - taking 15 minutes including being escorted outside to a concierge in another building, leaving ID and collecting afterwards. Not really worth it for a 25 min swim - I would have used the gym but I had to go though the same process and an additional induction. Onsite café didn't open until 7:30 so was difficult to get coffee/breakfast before the day starts.

Hi Ibry18. Great news! All the hotel facilities, including the Pool and Gym, have been back to regular operation since April 2022 We will ensure your next stay will be better than the previous one. Regards, Jamie Wei
