Accommodation was quite affordable at $135 per night when booked through RatestoGo. You also get free car parking and a mornging newspaper included in the price.
The room was a pretty good size and pleasantly furnished. The view over Albert Park from level 4 was quite nice and the traffic noise from Queens Road wasn't too bad. The bed was ok and the bathroom was functional, but a bit small and dated.
Biggest bug was the fact that some of the 'services' like in-room internet and movies didn't seem to work. When I queried staff the response seemed to be that these services were provided by an external service and there was not much they could do about it.
Despite this, the standard of service from the staff was quite high, they were friendly and helped where they could. I did get the sense that they may have been a bit exasperated by the state of the hotel or the management or something.
The morning breakfast was reasonably cheap and was ok. Although both mornings I noticed the levels of juice and milk on the buffet were low and the second morning the offer of coffee was a long time coming.
Overall I would recommend the Bayview on the Park as good value for money but not if price isn't a big consideration in your choice.
