Fun and fabulous - and reasonably priced
We loved our stay at The Motley, chosen because it looked great and was close to the MCG. We thought the room, whilst small, was full of clever features enabling us to have a very easy stay. Loved the bathroom design. The staff were all fabulous and welcoming and helpful. Great dining area - we had dinner and breakfast there (also an excellent cafe a few doors for another excellent breakfast with amazing menu. Also liked using the UBX gym a few doors up as the hotel’s gym - was much more fun than going to a sterile hotel gym. Highly recommend, especially for the price.

We had a 3-day stay here and could not have asked for more. Firstly, the staff are ultra friendly and helpful and nothing was too much bother. The location was great as we had a birthday party down the road and a footy game at the MCG. Easy access from the airport as we travelled from Perth. Rooms were very clean; the key things for us were that the bed was super comfortable and the shower was terrific. We had breakfast at Ms Parker's each day which was well-priced and very tasty, and importantly the coffee was spot on! Coles was just down the road, so a few basics and snacks were acquired from there to fill up the mini-bar fridge. We would definitely stay at the Mottley again when we come back to Melbourne.

An ideal place to stay for a weekend of footy, tennis, or any event in precinct, The Motley might become our new go-to. Great fit out, interesting art and soft furnishings, well appointed rooms, a cloud-like bed, soft sheets and towels, pod coffee to get you moving in the morning, and a cafe-restaurant downstairs. The staff were excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. This boutique hotel is all class without the stuffiness.

Disliked: Staff & service
Beds were completely sagged we unzipped the beds and spun them hoping for a firmer mattress, was slightly better proving that the mattresses were rarely spun, beds seem to have been made every day but not the sheets changed basically poor house Keeping, Parking was a joke and the desk staff had no idea, telling us that the overnight parking was $15 which turned out to be $30 still cheap but their reply was it should be $15 per night, also the parking bay at the rear is a trap would not accept payment at the machine after 5pm or before 7:am so I was late by 1/2 an hr paying and had already received a $99 fine again the desk staff had no idea how it worked. That part of Richmond is terrible for food except for "14 Bridge rd" excellent Italian food and very friendly. We had a twin room setup which I believe was reasonably priced, the food at the hotel had a limited menu and was expensive, all in all we'll be staying further out of the city in future as it is not what it used to be
