Punthill Apartment Hotels | Manhattan

A great apartment with plenty of space in the Superior 2 bedroom - the extra half bedroom with a single bed was a bonus making it 3 bedrooms. We were on the top (7th) floor and noise from current construction wasn't too bad. Excellent location for anything at the MCG/Rod Laver, both within walking distance. An IGA and tram stop just around the corner with plenty of nearby eateries. Overall a very good stay.

Dirty, poor lighting in the bathroom, room not serviced at day 3 as advertised, had to keep the blinds closed as we were on the ground floor and the builders walked past our room constantly. Shower flood the floor. Would have expected at least 2 towels per person if the room is supposedly on the third day. Fridge very noisy. Ran out of tissues. We have stayed there many times over the many years but will not be going back.

Front desk man for late afternoon is extremely rude, casually throwing out insults to my home country. Bed sheets were initially stained, had to go get more from rude front desk man who initially refused to believe me. Why would I go to the effort of getting new ones if I didn’t need them? He goes “I am stunned. This has literally never happened before.” I don’t believe him. Internet access was nonexistent in my apartment. It was slow outside if you sit under the WiFi point. Apartments have concrete walls, but there is no repeater in the apartment, so there’s no access in the apartment itself. This is a fundamental failure, it’s not that the internet access was temporarily broken, it will literally never work. Construction is what it is, can’t be helped. Beds were comfortable (after clean sheets put on). Location is good. Just avoid this place, it’s not worth the headache.

Best bed and thus sleep ever! Room was spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating to our needs. Great location to Rod Laver arena for family to watch Olivia Rodríguez. Walking distance to the "Paris" end of Collins St, and near to trams etc.

This was the worst experience of my life. I was locked out of my room as the keys would not work. This was after 10.30 and no one answered the 24 hour line for 2.5 hours. At this time i was locked out of my room, without access to belongings and medications. Security came close to 3 hours later. The carpet was dirty and it would have been nice if there was more that 1 milk and a bottle of water.

My 1 bedroom superior apartment I stayed in for 3 nights was great, it was spacious, clean and modern. The location of the hotel is unbeatable especially if wanting to go the MCG, Melbourne Park AO tennis etc. It is a 15 minute walk through the gardens to get there. It is also on the edge of city so only 5 - 10 minutes walk into the centre of Melbourne and all the shopping. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The price I also thought was very reasonable. While several others have commented about the construction I knew this going into it and came prepared with a white noise machine (ROHM they are great and small travel size). But I thought the hotel handled the situation very well, for starters in reception they had a massive bowl of industrial grade ear plugs that you could take for free, on the welcome letter it listed all the times the construction was scheduled etc. (e.g. there is no work on Sunday). I slept fine and was maybe woken up once but quickly got back to sleep as it’s not that loud and after all this is outside the hotel’s control.||But a major concern and disappointment was that my room was the 1 bedroom superior apartment when in actual the fact the bedroom and living room is separated by a blind (see attached picture and actually the room’s floorpan slightly shows this on the hotel’s website). It didn’t affect me as I was travelling alone but if had I been staying with someone else it would have frustrated me because the other person can’t be in the other room without hearing or seeing them (noise and light insulation from the thin blind was non-existent). I think it is pretty deceptive too (and doesn’t mention anywhere in writing it is separated by a blind), while I guess it is technically a 1 bedroom apartment it is not really, I would implore the hotel to just put a wall there.

Very tried and dirty 3 bedroom apartments needing a good clean and renovation. Dirty behind beds/ dirty walls and skirts/ old carpet/ mismatched kitchen ware including no glasses at all. Cold with no double glazing and very loud construction site we were told about but next level loud. Very tired entrance and slow dirty lifts. Very disappointing as we paid quite a decent amount for our family stay to Melbourne. We did check out early and did get a refund, a saving grace. Beds were also comfortable. Would not recommend or stay again.

Excellent apartment hotel!! I booked this for my family who visited Melbourne for the first time and their expectations were exceeded. They were so happy and loved the hotel room and location. The rooms are fully equipped with everything, makes life easy! Punthill Manhattan is a must visit surely, highly recommended. Yen, Ayesha and Marc provided an exceptional service and the housekeepers did a great job as well❤️

Nearly a month after my stay here, and I still can't believe my luck at finding such great value here. Melbourne was sort've tacked on last minute on my trip and we wanted to keep expenses down. I was initially only looking through Air BnB but my wife asked that I look for hotels and see if there was any comparable - even if a little bit more money. What I found in Punthill was a spot very similarly priced, but located right in the heart of the CBD (most Air BnB's are a bit outside it) and it was a full apartment-sized room. It may have been because it was only Spring, but I think it was about $125/night. I don't even mean a modest apartment either. I'd estimate our room was at least 700 sq/ft - if not more, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with a washer and dryer. There was also access to a decent gym and large hot tub. It's almost an industrial style apartment, with brick accents and cement ceiling - a ceiling that's at least 9' high. Sure, there were a couple signs of wear and some touch ups needed in places, but it simply can't outweigh the positives and incredible value there is in staying here. Wonderful concierge too, who was helpful for tips, arrangements and overall hospitality. Forget trying to save a few bucks on an Air BnB when you can have so much more here. You'll save all that money back anyway since you won't have to pay for transit coming into the CBD - which has the fare-free tram area.

This hotel was beyond awful, it looked like i was staying in a hostel in Europe, for 5$ a night except it was around 140 u.s. the room was dusty everywhere the couches were covered in stains. The elevator was broken and wont be fixed for several months i was told, had to walk up 5 flights of stsirs after travelling over 20 hours to get there, i would not reccommend this garbadge place to anyone, avoid at all costs

I had such a great experience here! The apartment is basically a 1 BR apartment. I had been couchsurfing and going on tours throughout my stay in Melbourne, and I wanted my last night to be in a hotel so that I could relax alone and enjoy the benefits of a long bath and comfy bed. I'd have to say for the price I paid (around $100 USD), this was one of the best values I've ever gotten for hotel stay. There was a kitchen, separate bedroom, couch, and washing machine in the bathroom. It's stocked like an Airbnb with plates, utensils, and appliances along with coffee/tea. I got in really late at around 11:30 pm, but made sure to take a long bath, make myself some tea, and relax in front of the TV before crashing. Concierge was super nice, and they were able to hold my bag in the morning while I did some sightseeing before my flight, and although I wasn't able to order room service (you have to pre-order the night before), there were lots of options right outside, and right across the street is Collins Place where there are a ton of restaurants and some small shops for all the business people who work in the area. Great choices in there. Wifi was $3 AUD an hour or $10 AUD for a day. Just a comment: I believe that this place is a mixture of apartment dwellers and short term stays. I think they accommodate business people who have to stay in town for different times. I booked my deal on Expedia, but you can probably contact them directly as well.
