Lily Sands Inn

This stay was a step above a backpackers. The cleanliness was below average, the service of the rooms was basically a touch up vacuum and a new toilet roll. I had to ask for my rubbish to be emptied. I ran out of hot water half-way through a shower on day 3. The room was dated, and not as pictured. The kitchenette on my floor (which I thought would be in my room) seriously lacked ammenities, and the ground floor kitchenette didn’t open until 10am and was always closed when I needed something. I wouldn’t stay here if you were hoping to self-cater, and I won’t stay again.

The lady that ran it and I assume owned it was nice. The actual room was old, dated and tired. You get what you pay for. I personally would not stay again.

Very clean room …. The staff were super friendly…. Great cafes, restaurants & trams close by …. Very close to Albert Park Sports Complex….. great air con

Great location, welcoming and helpful staff, super comfortable bed. Delightful neighbourhood and walking distance to South Melbourne Markets and public transport. For tye price, fantastic!

Lovely place to stay. Close to MSAC & Albert Park and a tram ride away from the city center. Room was clean & bed comfortable. Highly recommend.

I've stayed at the Lily Sands numerous times. The only criticism I have is that the TV reception is terrible. it keeps dropping out on multiple channels.

Perfect for our 5 day tradeshow at the convention centre. Big rooms, very big bathroom with decent hot water and easy parking within walking distance of the fair (only on the weekends is it all day parking which seems to be the norm in Melbourne). Area is quiet and not traffic jammed

Great Location and value for money

They need to equip the kitchen in the penthouse suite fully, with glasses, wine glasses, matching plates, etc, etc.....

Had a great stay, nice and close for what we needed

Had to change room as Air Conditioning was making very loud noises. Rooms very cold on arrival. AC too small for space and struggles to heat the space. Kettle plugged into power board with fridge. Lead not long enough so kettle balances on edge of bench. No chair to sit in. “Kitchen” on each floor. Dishwasher full of dirty dishes - no detergent tablets. Also toaster, microwave and kettle.

Great little spot in South Melbourne at really reasonable prices.

Double glazed but window winder broken meaning it didn’t close properly Bed too big for room Very efficient late check in and helpful staff

Have stayed here for work over a number of years. Best value in the area.

The air conditioner needs attention, it really struggled to cool the very hot room. Other than that the room was very good and the bed was great.

Really comfortable bed, clean property, very warm and friendly welcome. The bathroom was updated and very spacious, great shower. Just a little dark so putting on make-up or seeing details on the face was difficult - maybe they could look to improve the bathroom task-lighting when they next get around to any alterations/updates in future. Overall very positive experience. Parking was also a breeze.

The location was great, the property was decent

It was perfect for me as I only came home to sleep. Very clean, but quite a small room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. In a great convenient spot, but was noisy sometimes.

Great location with city views. The staff were really friendly, we were given a free room upgrade which was a nice surprise. Basic but nice breakfast, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals ect. We enjoyed our stay.
