Hotel berhampiran Bennett Reserve, Melbourne

Great customer service. Room was neat and amenities were really good.

My stay was very relaxing, the complex was very busy with the restaurant and event room filled my room was very quiet. Bathroom very clean and adequate, heating and cooling easy to adjust to your liking.. Only 1 thing , the coffee and tea supply is very limited in the room, but otherwise service and admission was friendly ,professional and pleasant.

This hotel located in Ringwood and around 30 minutes drive to Yarra valley or Dandenong area. The hotel located above major shopping centre so it’s convenience, location also next to train station. Room are spacious and bed are comfortable. Parking is available for $10 per night. The only downside is they do not provide room cleaning on Sunday so If you stay 2 night like us, from Saturday to Monday, you won’t get the room serviced as they don’t have housekeeper on Sunday. Very strange rule and it was not inform when we made the booking

My elderly husband was ‘lost’ and looking for somewhere to stay late Saturday evening ( we live in the country) , I found Knox International Hotel and Apartments online and rang them seeing if they could help, they went out of their way to talk to him on the phone and help him with directions. He stayed in a small apartment and was extremely happy with the comfort and cleanliness, the girl on duty ( Tammy was her name I think) was so understanding. It was a great outcome and we plan to both stay there later in the year.

The staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. You felt like you were family. The rooms were upstairs and quite secure, my only complaint is the stairs, of which there are a few, which meant carting luggage up and down the stairs. Probably not really suitable for older people,or,people with bad knees. The rooms were clean and modern , the freeway was 1 minute away and you couldn’t hear any noise. Buffet was yummy. Would definitely recommend for short term stays. Thanks guys enjoyed our time there.

We recently stayed here for 4 nights and for the price that you pay isn't the service that you receive. It all started when we tried to find our room after it wasn't explained to us how the ”buildings” work. As we tried to get back into the reception area, we found ourselves in the fire escape as our tag for the escalator didn't work in that area. We finally got ourselves into the room to find it not so clean. On a day trip to Healesville and surrounding area's we were responsible and left the car at an establishment for the night and got an Uber. It wasn't until we needed the room keys and discovered we left the keys in our car. Unfortunately, this ”Hotel” only has 1 set of keys. We called reception (as no one mans this at all) and we were given the incorrect room key as a spare. Another phone call has us sorted for the key only (no more tags for the security access to the doors and escalator). Prior to this the manager stated he would be home when we get home from dinner to let us in. We rang and rang and rang (14 times in total) no answer. We messaged through Facebook and tried every alternate. Still to date no answer. Yes, we made it difficult for ourselves with leaving the keys in the car however what a * show it is to get access without it. The reception line was call forwarded onto the managers mobile phone which was turned off. The rooms don't get serviced (Please make up my room) daily, not enough soap etc left for the length of our stay. Never again!!

The Sebel Ringwood has so many good points. It’s close to transport, shops and restaurants. It offers full king-size beds, and a large bathroom with a night-light. It’s set up for modern travel – we were able to charge all our devices at once from the numerous power points and USB plugs. The staff are overall very professional. So we will definitely stay at the Sebel again. The one downside was breakfast. We had to make an early start, so we were pleased to see that breakfast starts at 6 am on a weekday. It didn’t work as planned. There’s no buffet, we ordered cooked meals. There was only one cook, he hadn’t prepared in advance, so he ambled in and out of the storeroom getting ingredients, and our breakfasts arrived close to 6:30. My portion turned out to be very small, so I went looking for fruit. There’s none! No fruit salad, no bowl of bananas and oranges, nothing! So I left the hotel hungry. Because breakfast had taken so long, we had to rush to brush our teeth, do a final pack, and hurry to catch our train. I would much prefer what I’ve seen in other hotels of the same standard, where there’s a buffet plus a cook who makes to order dishes like omelettes, scrambled eggs, or full English. Before I forget, breakfast at the Sebel included freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee from an espresso machine, which were both very good.

The room was large and overall comfortable, though a couple of issues. Firstly, there are 2 beds in the room and we intended using both, however there was only one spare blanket. Second, our bathroom had no towel rail except for a 30cm one adjacent to the sink for the hand towel. Lastly, for such an otherwise modern room there is no toaster. I booked directly and afterwards was emailed a survey. I took the time to respond, thinking it would assist them (otherwise why do they ask), mentioning the above 3 items. I received an offensive email back telling me the rooms have towel rails (the ones in the website photo's might but mine definitely didn't), that had I wanted a spare blanket for both beds they would have provided one had I asked (except that Reception closes at or before 8pm and you don't realise before going to bed) and pointing out the room has heating (not a substitute for a blanket on a bed I'm afraid, not many people sleep with the heating going all night). If they didn't want honest constructive feedback they shouldn't ask for it, and I sorely wish I hadn't wasted my time on them.
