Notel - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"First impressions?Melbourne's love of rooftop revelry and its allegiance to vintage Americana have spawned Notel: a collection of six 1970s Airstream trailers on a downtown roof overlooking Flinders Lane. Yes, it's gimmicky—but it's also undeniably fun. What’s the crowd like?Primarily Instagrammers who weren't alive when these trailers were manufactured. How was check in?Notel is essentially unstaffed: to gain entry, you must download an app, which is used to operate several electronic 'locks'. Technophobes need not apply. Tell us about the rooms.The roominess of the trailers may surprise you—there's ample space for two people plus luggage, and the bathroom has a decent shower with strong water pressure. The pink-and-grey color scheme channels a bygone era. Most pleasing, the door and windows block out a lot of city noise. How about the little things, like mini bar?Malin + Goetz toiletries and an iPad with Netflix are nice touches, and there are ample charging points. Most notably, there's free Australian wine, cold-drop coffee and locally made potato chips in the mini bar. Room service and food: Worth it?Aside from the mini bar, there's nothing to eat or drink at Notel—but the laneway downstairs has ample options. Anything stand out about other services and features?The Airstreams have been retro-fitted with AC and heating, which you will almost certainly require. Bottom line.Notel is hugely entertaining and perfectly located along one of the city's most vibrant laneway stretches. Best of all, it feels quintessentially "Melbourne." - Dan F. Stapleton

My partner and I stayed a night as a surprise for her. Right from the get go the experience was awesome. The car park guy kept it hush and was very friendly. Then the coffee shop on the ground floor for free coffee before taking my partner on the mystery of where we were going. Far to say she was blown away that a place like this existed right in the middle of Melbourne. Had a great night in of free drinks. Snacks & relaxing in the spa. Highly recommend.

I wanted to love my stay here, I really did but like others have said; it was incredibly underwhelming and I'm not even sure access to a hottub could have saved it! We booked it for the "experience", the free parking and the free minibar and it only didn't disappoint on one of them (our car was very safe for the duration of our trip). As others have said, for the price I expected a lot more and I was utterly disappointed with my stay; I don't feel the need to elaborate further as a guy called David who gave it a 1 star summed up my sentiments perfectly. Other Notes for us: - Our HP Sprocket didn't have any paper in it, as promised - Our IPAD was not charged when we arrived so we couldn't watch anything in our down-time before heading out - A key for our room was in the mailbox on the staircase and we didn't discover it until the next day which means ANONE could have come into our van and stolen our belongings I will also add that without adequate sound proofing you are also at the mercy of other guests. The other guests during our stay (including children) were so loud that they both woke us up, kept us up and just interrupted our quiet time in general.

The coolest stay ever! I stayed here for a night with my 9 year old son, we had the air stream with the spa, absolutely worth it. There is so much thought that goes into the entire experience, the mini bar, roof top games, free morning coffee from the incredible cafe downstairs. I’m not used to city noise/street lights coming through curtains etc, so it was a bit loud and bright at night, but figured that’s just all part of the experience and would definitely stay there again! We loved it so much. I got tonnes of cool mum points for picking this place 😎

My wife and I spent a night in this hotel few nights ago and the whole experience was absolutely memorable. The party lights in the spa are amazing. Free wine beers and some delicious snacks + unlimited ☕️ down the cafe, what else do you need??. I will recommend this to somene that is looking for adventure and something different to stay in Melbourne. We are looking at bringing kids here next time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an awesome stay at Hotel NO! We absolutely loved the vibe of the place and we enjoyed the ‘mystery’ of finding the place. Everything was easy to access, and Cara and the team were so helpful. Zain was awesome and helpful with the car parking, and the team at Saluministi were so friendly. The room itself was super clean, tidy and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and we had the best night sleep. We loved how the air streamer was converted into a unique room and we loved the communal area. The location of Hotel NO is absolutely fabulous. We could easily walk around the city, as it’s close by to many iconic Melbourne city things. In the morning we had a superb breakfast box by Saluministi. The Paninis were so delicious and the coffee was excellent. We have already told so many of our friends and family about Hotel NO. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Cara and the team! You guys are awesome!

Booked this quirky accommodation experience for a 3 night suprise weekend getaway for my wife's birthday. While we love doing things a little differently this experience was a significant let down.||Lots of upsells on the website though, free coffee's at the downstairs Cafe, unfortunately that is closed on weekends so had to wait 2 days to take advantage of that, and unable to locate many hot beverage options in the immediate vicinity, strange for Melbourne, the Airstream only had herbal tea as an option, no coffee, milk or anything else really. The HIGHLY TOUTED FREE MINI BAR, help yourself all free, consisted of 2 cans of beer, 1 bag of popcorn and 1 bottle of Pinot Noir, none of which were replenished over 3 days, except for the bottle of Pinot, which we had to ask for on the 2nd day, there isn't even bottled water in the mini bar, its just a carafe of water from the tap. It also took 2 days to get fresh towels.||While they are authentic 70's Airstream vans it's a shame that they weren't retro fitted to some degree with windows that close properly or satisfactory heating.||Pro's|Shower had great pressure and good hot water.|Bed sheets, LOVED the Bamboo bedding||Con's ( a lot)|Mini bar was far from satisfactory.||Missing BASIC amenities, such as an iron / ironing board, storage/hanging space, in fact no coat hangers at all, just 1 hook in a small cupboard.||Heating (lack of effective heating)|Quite chilly as some windows weren't able to be closed.||Lack of housekeeping, had to ask for everything, 2 days to get fresh towels and glasses cleaned/washed.||Sadly the entire experience was a large letdown, so much so that after the first 3 hours I was seriously considering booking one of the regular hotels we stayed at.

Seriously an amazing place Loved the airstream Location & parking was awesome The most comfy bed I've ever slept in , the sheets are like silk!!! The only disappointment was that I emailed Hotel No and told them it was my young son's birthday and the stay was for him with no acknowledgement at all. The mini bar while super generous didn't even have a drink for a child which my son felt upset & disappointed about, especially watching me drink mine 🤣 We've stayed in hotels previously and when mentioned it was my son's birthday we've had a upgrade, a beautiful hand written note from the staff and lolly bags etc... Just a small acknowledgement like a birthday welcome and maybe a soft drink would have made it that little bit more personal and special. Little touches go a long way Other than this are stay was wonderful

If you’ve historically walked past these snazzy airstreams and you’re now trawling through the reviews to decide if you should book a stay: let this be your sign YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD STAY HERE! We come to Melbourne a couple of times a year to watch footy and get our fix of quirky culture but as this trip happened to fall on a Birthday I was looking for a way to make it a little extra special and the Airstream with benefits was the perfect way. Amazing location, amazingly quirky, amazing atmosphere, and soaking in a hot tub with a belly full of amazing cheese whilst overlooking the city surrounds...yep, amazing. So many amazing little touches like being able to print out a couple of happy snaps on the sprocket printer, being able to enjoy so many delicious little treats from the minibar, being able to take a real cup just downstairs to enjoy a real coffee, being able to jump into a ridiculously comfy bed and watch an iPad on the ceiling… the thought that has gone into creating the perfect space and experience is unmatched. Already excited about coming up with an excuse to stay here again ASAP!
