“Worst Hotel I have ever Stayed At”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stranded here thanks to Jetstar in November 2011. Would never, ever book with this brand of hotel, ever again. Literally, this is place that people come before they die.

The operator of the hotel was dealing with a seedy looking character in the lobby as the Jetstar passengers arrived by coach, and this indivudal bolted as soon as we entered. The bunk was uncomfortable, the window had no protective screen - literally, someone could either fall out or commit suicide if they so wished.

Last resort hotel to stay in.

Room Tip: Not stay at the hotel at all, would be acceptable.

“hard to find”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

It was hard to find, and a bit too far from the airport!
Maybe that could be something that need to state on the discription on the website!!

There should be a lunch room that you can leave your stuff in the fridge if possible!!

“Stayed by necessity”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

person found this review helpful

My family stayed at the formula1 in Fawkner on the 17 Dec as we had function in the area and we have used formla1 on quite a few occasions both here in Australia and overseas. So we thought it was a no brainer as to where to stay what a mistake, the room had a stale musky odour and when I complained the duty manager he kindly changed rooms for us only to find the second room was probably worse than the first, much to my wife's annoyance. I must say I ahve stayed in formula1 hotels in south africa that are far cleaner and well prsented that what we were in.At this stage we just decided to make the most of the situation. The best part of our stay was that the bed comfortable to sleep in although the person who made the bed needs to learn how to make a bed properly. I would not recommend this venue to any body, nor will use it again.

“Why is this called a Hotel???”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This should not be called a hotel, it shold be called a backpackers inn.
My room, huh! everthing was filty I went to turn the airconditioner on and all the nobs on it were covered in grime. I used a tisue so i didn't have to touch the nob. I also saw chewing gum stuck on the wall. When i sat on the bed i looked up to see that the bottom of the bunk was covered in dirt,grime and pure filth... The batroom was horrid there was a used soap still on the floor with the the roof of the bathroom was a horrid as the bottom of the bunk. I will not recommend an animal to stay in any one of the Formula 1 hotels. I stayed in room 307 go and have a look for your self chances are they still havn't cleaned it properly. Ihope this helps everyone!

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else.
