    24th is full too.

    • neil on 22/10/2013 - 16:49

      Still working for me on that date. Most likely people are adding/removing to check prices.

  • Chivalry on 22/10/2013 - 16:35

    the early arrival time is a little confusing, whats the normal check in time?

    • SydBargainer on 22/10/2013 - 16:37

      Services
      Check-Out time is 11.00am
      Check-In time is 2.00pm onwards

      • Chivalry on 22/10/2013 - 16:47

        ok so pretty standard, thanks. I shall try this place out!

        wrong!

        check in time is 2pm
        check out time is 11am

        if you want to check in earlier than 2pm, you pay $22
        if you want to check out later than 11am, you pay $22

        by time you stay in this tiny shoe box of a hotel and pay for a towel, tv, wifi, it works out better to stay elsewhere

        the one in KL is a tiny shoe box and not even room to put a suitcase. Tune hotel = air asia, stay away.

          Lol you fail! That's what was said, just said check out time first.

          Really not sure what you expect for $39 a night in Melbourne?…

          As for the ones in KL etc - yes the rooms are small, but they are reasonably clean, comfortable and cheap!

          As for comparing the other hotels - the OP has included the price of towels… If you need wifi, tv, etc yes you probably should stay somewhere else… These are intended for budget conscious travelers.

          I am currently in Indonesia on 2 week trip.. Staying at Tune every night (which I booked during a promo last year… About $0.10 cents a night for the room (air con etc are add ons) and flying AirAsia - no complaints yet!

          Haven't stayed at the Melbourne one yet tho.

          For anyone interested -

          KLIA LCCT - dodgy hotel but does the job… Just
          KL downtown - recently refurbished, MUCH nicer, good location
          Kota Bharu - ok but staff are not very helpful
          Bali, Legian - really nice feel, good location
          Jakarta, Pasar Baru - the best I have stayed in… Nice rooms, very clean and comfortable, staff ok, location pretty good.

        • bonezAU on 23/10/2013 - 16:44

          How did you find the hotel in Jakarta? Was it mostly locals that stayed there and were you the only bule, or was it a nice mixture?

    Seems like a good review to me (bias/unbias i dunno). The business makes sense. If you're looking for a budget hotel without the dirtiness and knows that you won't be using the tv etc., it would be worth staying at Tune Hotel. If i'm visiting Melbourne, I know i'll be outside doing stuff rather than sitting in the room watching TV.

    • neil on 22/10/2013 - 18:15

      The writer stayed courtesy of Tune Hotel.

      There aren't many bad reviews of hotels/bars/restaurants in The Age/SMH.

  • hoxygt on 22/10/2013 - 17:59

    Jee the rooms look small and basic but I've stayed in smaller in Melbourne and paid a LOT more. Wi Fi access is even fairly priced.

    Only catch for some might be that its in Carlton not Melbourne CBD.

    • neil on 22/10/2013 - 18:18

      It's perhaps a 3 minute walk to the CBD.

      Wouldn't bother with Wi-Fi. State library & Melbourne Central is nearby. Free wi-fi there or if you have an Eduroam account, Melb Uni / RMIT.

      • hoxygt on 22/10/2013 - 18:40

        Well to be fair if you calculate a walk to the Melbourne GPO its just short of 20mins.

      • davidl2 on 22/10/2013 - 22:59

        soon Melbourne CBD will have free Wi-Fi!! I said……..soon………………..

  • Ronnnie on 22/10/2013 - 18:07

    You can pay more for a single private hostel room than this. I hope tune hotels open up in other capitals. Most dodgy hotels charge at least $100 a night. I probably stayed in worse places than this and paid almost triple the price.

    Great for a quickie

    • tomsco on 22/10/2013 - 19:02

      Or having a night out on the piss

  • AussieMark on 22/10/2013 - 19:40

    if anyone can find me a phone number id really appreciate it!

    • neil on 22/10/2013 - 19:46

      Look at the top of the page ;)

      • AussieMark on 23/10/2013 - 13:22

        thats for malaysia or thailand not australia.

        No contact details for Australia have been released yet :( hence the search

  • AussieMark on 23/10/2013 - 13:24

    Lol poor guys who have that Australian 1800 number…

    Told me they getting a ton of calls from people looking for Tune hotels lols. Need to dial into Malaysia first if you wanna use that number fyi

    • neil on 23/10/2013 - 13:52

      Huh? It's 1300 888 863 as per the top (well middle) of the page.

      Confirmed by Twitter rep

      EDIT: I apologize. Just dialed myself. It's Super Plus. Well, that's stupid of them.

      • neil on 23/10/2013 - 14:12

        OK, they have no phone number at all in Australia. You have to contact them via [email protected] which seems strange.

          its because they dont open officially until next month

  • AussieMark on 23/10/2013 - 17:40

    btw thanks Neil for checking tho and posting.

    I just reported the phone number so everyone else doesnt call those super flex guys like I did haha

    I think they will have to change their number

  • holdenmg on 28/10/2013 - 12:04

    I'm staying 28/10 to 30/10 so I'll update what it is like. Big thanks in advance (I hope) on the deal. :+)

      O.K. So, In short…

      I'm v.impressed. It is probably nicer in a lot of way than a Formule1 (wouldn't be hard).

      Greeted by Leigh at the desk and they are totally organised. They will try and "upsell" you (nicely) to the add-ons but you don't need them (you can cave-in later and come down to the desk and they will add them if you want).

      The room are new, compact (but not tiny) and there is a simple Red/White theme to the rooms. You get a Card to access the room and power on when you enter. You get a TV (that works only upon payment) lol, a small desk (free to use, but not to keep…) A safe under the bed for valuables.

      Bed is comfortable, no problems. A quiet modern (new) place to stay in Melbourne.

      No fridge or phone…

      • AussieMark on 28/10/2013 - 23:01

        i stayed there too bro.

        funny thing is prices back up to 89$ from Nov 1st :(
