Independent Romantics in East Melbourne

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Birches. Good value for money. A lovely firm bed and a fantastic shower!! The only downside would be traffic noise at night which may bother very light sleepers. The large windows facing the road were double glazed and this no doubt has made a difference. We were so tired at the end of each day that we slept like babies!! A delight to stay in a very clean apartment where everything works and there is good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The airconditioner was a real bonus when we experienced 1 very hot day during our stay. Will return when next in Melbourne.

Great locations & facilities, extended stay from 5 days to 14 days..very clean & staff very helpful. Will definitely be staying there again.

Great service, free upgrade, great facilities, serene surroundings, loved the lush garden.

Short walk to the tennis, even shorter to the G. Perfect location, quiet area, nice room, no complaints.

We arrived after closing on Christmas eve, so we checked in with reception on Boxing day and got a parking permit. (We had parked in the underground lot the previous nights.) On street parking wasn't hard to find, we were able to park right out in front most nights.The underground parking is "restricted" in the sense that you can only fit down the ramp in a smaller car, I was able to barely squeeze in driving a Toyota Camry but that was only possible with my wife to guide me from outside the car. In a motorcycle or a compact car it shouldn't be a problem, but a ute or a minivan is right out (you have to make a 90° turn at the bottom of the ramp, and there's not much space to do it). It's a minute or so walk from the tram station if you're not driving. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Good, strong AC. I believe the bathroom was supposed to have a heating unit but it was missing (or had been removed for summer). Wireless internet worked but was sometimes intermittent, perhaps during peak hours? No cap on data or number of devices used, which is a big plus. TV had good reception. There was only a microwave, toaster, and refrigerator, no range or oven so keep that in mind when buying food.

Great rate, available late notice, MCG and city close by

Very friendly. Was a little cold as only one blanket and no heater but quiet comfortable

The Magnolia Court Boutique Hotel is a quaint little hotel - perfect for my two day escape from my busy, every day life. I went to Melbourne for the MCG Test Match, and the hotel is in close proximity to the ground, which I found to be most convenient. My room was very relaxing, and everything I could have expected. If I go to the cricket in Melbourne again, I'll certainly be looking this place up again.
