Oaks Melbourne on Collins Suites

Oaks Melbourne on Collins Suites Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Oaks Melbourne on Collins Suites, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of things” feeling. This four-star property sits right on Collins Street — honestly, you can’t get much more central than this in Melbourne. The lobby has a sleek, modern vibe without being too flashy, and the staff actually seem to know what they’re talking about when you ask for directions or recommendations.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s not just “convenient,” it’s genuinely perfect for exploring Melbourne. You’re literally steps away from the Paris End of Collins Street with all those fancy boutiques, and Federation Square is maybe a five-minute walk. I mean, couples rate this spot 9.3 out of 10, and after staying here, I totally get why. You can walk to Flinders Street Station, duck into the laneways for coffee, or hit up the Crown complex without needing transport. The trams run right outside too, which is actually pretty handy when your feet give out from all the walking.

The Suite Experience

The suites here are what really set this place apart from your typical hotel room. You get proper living space — not just a bed crammed next to a tiny desk. Each suite comes with a full kitchen, which honestly saved me a fortune on breakfast and late-night snacks. The appliances are decent quality, not those mini-bar sized things you sometimes get. The beds are comfortable enough, and the bathrooms are well-designed with good water pressure (you know how hit-or-miss that can be in city hotels).

Practical Perks

What I really appreciated was having a proper workspace and separate living area — it didn’t feel like I was living out of a suitcase. The laundry facilities in each suite are a game-changer if you’re staying more than a few nights. There’s also parking available, though let’s be honest, you probably won’t need your car much given where you are. The building itself feels secure, and the elevators are quick — small thing, but it matters when you’re on the higher floors.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the fanciest place in Melbourne, but it delivers exactly what most travelers actually want. You get space to spread out, a location that puts you in the center of everything, and amenities that work without any fuss. The value proposition is solid — you’re paying for the location and the suite setup, not for a fancy spa or multiple restaurants. For couples especially, having that extra space and the ability to grab groceries and cook occasionally makes a real difference. It’s the kind of place where you can actually settle in for a few days and feel like you’re living in Melbourne, not just visiting it.

  Location was great and trams were easily accessible. Only a 5 minute walk to the train station.
  
  They allowed us to leave our suitcases at the property after our check out which was great.
  
  Finishings are nice and modern, shower pressure was amazing, I liked how there was shampoo, body wash, hand lotion etc in big bottles in the bathrooms. Bed was comfortable and I liked the heat pump/ac in the room rather than a wall heater like some hotels.
  
  Loved the small dishwasher and the fridge was a great size for any left over food or snacks we had throughout our stay.
  
  Reception were helpful when we asked for directions and suggestions on what to do in the city.
  
  Would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.
