The Sebel Melbourne Malvern 4,5 estrelas

Absolutely terrible experience. After booking a room for 27 th July we arrived just after 2pm I did call around 1.20pm about parking they said didn’t need to book just buzz at the gate and park . Went in and checked in didn’t take license or car registration number we asked we parked on B1 is that fine she replied as long it hasn’t got private parking sign it didn’t which I have proof I did take a photo my husband was having open heart surgery on the 28th July had to book extra nights because my husband was still in in icu then I got I phone call on the 1st of August around 12 pm saying I should’ve already checked out I explained I booked extra nights to check your emails then said sorry I was booked to the 3rd . I returned yo my room on the 1st August about 8.30 pm went to get something from the car I knew where my husband parked the car it wasn’t there I had Ubered everyday to the hospital so we hadn’t seen the car since July 27 . I went reception she wasn’t very helpful at all . So I called the police and made a police report . The Police advised me a certain tow company gets lots of work at that car park. After trying to find my car for 3 hours walking around car park by myself at night . I called the tow company they had my car it was towed 1.30pm that day same day I got the phone call to say I should’ve checked out . Tow company said Sebel asked for the car to be towed but the receptionist acted like she didn’t know anything told to call police wouldn’t check cctv footage . I had spent all week in hospital with my husband I had no way to get him home he had to stay in Hospital a extra night . called Reception next day emailed Couldn’t get any answers why my car was towed . I Emailed General Manager Ellie King with no reply still waiting No apologies or explanations either, just ‘the manager has gone home’, no follow up. I will never go near this place again.

Absolutely terrible experience. After booking an extra night weeks ahead of time I was careful to call to make sure I was put in the same room for two nights. When I actually came to stay when I was out on day two the management approved someone to ENTER MY ROOM without permission, stuff my clothes and belongings in garbage bags and put them and my case in a storage room and rebook my room ! When I returned that evening my room was empty! No warning! Outrageous almost illegal conduct. No apologies or explanations either, just ‘the manager has gone home’, no follow up. I will never go near this place again.

Absolutely disgusting people, while my husband was getting open heart surgery at Cabrini these low life had our car towed after they told us to park in the carpark then wouldn’t tell us where our car was. So it took us most of the night to try find it What disgusting behaviour DONT STAY HERE. No Morals whatsoever and now they have started a fight they will wish they never did.

Overall I rated our stay as very average with pre-confirmed arrangements not ready on our arrival & the allocated room well below the standard that they advertise. After complaining we were moved to a better room the following day. Rooms are small & a bit cramped for 4 people.

I booked the hotel for two nights but eventually could not check in as it turns out the hotel has a reception hours of 2pm to 10pm. Seems like a user error on my part except I booked my room directly with the hotel via the Accor All app. Through out the booking process, information about reception hours was not mentioned anywhere nor was it written on the reservation confirmation. I didn't realize the reception hours until I got to the hotel to find no staff at the reception, but the hotel very nicely left out a notice informing guests about the absence of reception staff and provide an "emergency contact number" that only leads to a voice recording. I immediately reached out to the Accor, the owner of the hotel, their staff could not contact any staff at the hotel as well. Eventually I had to look for other accommodation on the spot at 11pm. To make the situation worse, Accor couldn't provide any actual assistance to me, they had no control over their own hotels. I requested a refund as this situation is caused by the hotel’s inability to properly inform guests about it’s reception’s operation hours, the ineffective arrangements of emergency contacts, and it proofs that the hotel should be responsible for this situation. However, it turns out Accor can not make a call on this decision as well as I was informed by an Accor rep claiming that refund decisions are up to the hotels, as if Accor has no hold over its hotels, and the Accor rep just straight up telling me that there is nothing more they can do, and told me to talk to the hotel directly. This hotel is a joke, even the basic Ibis hotels under Accor also has 24h receptions. How can they consider themselves to be a premium hotel if they can't even get the basics right.
