I have been to the Formulae One Hotel at Melbourne (Tullamarine) Airport once before and was reasonably impressed with its location and cleanliness. One must remember though that this chain of Accor Hotels is very much for the traveller or the budget concious, and for the fairly cheap price for a room each night there are very limited facilities available.
That said the Formule One Melbourne Airport is a stones throw away from a McDonalds Restaurant, as well as a service station with shelves full of food and drinks and other grocery items.
And, of course, the Hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the Melbourne Airport terminal building. It should also be pointed out that despite being 'an Airport Hotel', the Formule One doesn't actually have an Airport view!
As mentioned in the other reviews of Formule One Hotels, the room is small – probably smaller than the other Formule One Hotels I've stayed at – in fact the ‘bathroom’ is merely a shower and toilet in a ‘cupboard’, with a wash basin in the corner of the sleeping area – as shown below. This was a bit awkward for my 189cm frame!
The bed is quite comfy – although care must be taken not to bump one’s head on the overhead bunk! The room does feature air conditioning and a nice little flat screen television. The room I was in this time was also quite clean.
Car parking is free, and a continental breakfast is available at the Hotel each morning for a small charge.
One last feature to mention is that the Formule One Melbourne Airport now offers free wi-fi Internet to all guests – what a welcome addition to the facilities!
Very useful info. Hope to see more posts soon!
