Eltham Gateway is quite a big complex. I think it must have become quite rundown but the current owners seem to be doing renovations and upgrading. The rooms are large and beds are comfortable. Great hot water. More thought needs to be put into what is provided in the room eg 1 teaspoon, a hotplate but no cookware etc. The electrical appliances were, I think Chinese, but we were able to work things out. Some light and the aircon switches were in reverse...so if aircon appears not to work just turn the switch off. Our curtain was also not working properly but someone came promptly to fix it. The complex is on a couple of levels and has such potential. It looks like a lot of upgrades are being done cheaply but I can understand the upgrades would be costly. We were in the area for a funeral and the hotel met our needs for shops, cafes and venue. Overall our stay was comfortable and quiet, lovely hot water, and great aircon for the heatwave.

This review is aimed at feedback to the hotel. When we arrived at our room there was a ceramic bowl with ash and at least 6 cigarette butts inside. I washed my hands in the kitchen and touched some staining around the cupboard handles. Expecting it to be stain, which is fine, but it was grime from previous people. Having a 2 pillow option would be good. Light in bathroom very dim. Overall the grime and cigarette butts gave an uncomfortable vibe of poor cleanliness. Bed was comfortable.

For how much you pay per night, you would expect the rooms to be modern and updated, not something from the 1960’s. The stairs leading up to the room, felt like I was going to fall through them and the maintenance of the facilities could be done really nice to make the place look better

A budget motel. Clean room and quiet location. The bar/restaurant on site was closed but there were a few options nearby. At $128 a night you get what you pay for.

Room was clean. We only got 3 towels for 4 people. Not happy. Check in desk was unmanned at check in time. Had to call mobile number to get someone to attend. Good car parking, easy to find room as you get shown a map. Only one pillow per person, probably should be two. Needs to have ice cube trays if needed. Nice hot showers. Ample cupboard space in rooms and bathroom. Windows did not open so couldn’t get any fresh air. Check out was easy just drop room keys into slot and go.
