"Really lovely efficient staff, room was clean and surprisingly large with a small table, lamps and plenty of power outlets which was perfect since I had my sewing machine with me and could set up a sewing space really easily, especially since there was a full size ironing board provided"

“Bell Motel presents a mixed bag, despite its proximity to Preston Market and Melbourne's hospitals. While the location is convenient, especially with subway and tram access to the CBD, reports of inconsistent service and room quality give pause. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location, this might suffice, but be prepared for potential drawbacks.”
