My stay at The Sebel Melbourne Docklands was a mix of highs and lows. The location was excellent, being right in the heart of the city and close to everything I wanted to visit. However, the service was disappointing, with numerous misunderstandings and a lack of professionalism from some staff members. I expected more for the price I paid, as the amenities and room condition did not live up to my expectations.

I had a lovely stay at The Sebel Melbourne Docklands, particularly enjoying the spacious apartment that came with two bedrooms and a great view over the harbour. However, I did encounter some frustrations with the parking situation and accessibility to various facilities like the gym and pool. Despite these issues, the overall ambiance and the friendly staff made my visit enjoyable, and I would consider recommending the hotel for its comfortable amenities and good location.

My stay at The Sebel Melbourne Docklands Hotel had its ups and downs. While I enjoyed the friendly check-in and the lovely indoor pool and spa, the service during breakfast left something to be desired. The furniture choices in my apartment were quite unusual and didn't really fit the space well. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are areas that could use improvement. 🏨😐
