Fitzroy Private Rooms @ 132 Nicholson Homestay

Certainly budget accommodation but still clean and with very friendly hosts. Central to Carlton Gardens and many near by cafes and restaurants. Tram stop right out front is very helpful.

I would definitely recommend staying here, particularly if you are after a short stay or backpacker. My friends and I booked the quadruple family room, a large bed with two bunk beds. The price was great, cheaper than a hostel. The rooms were private, clean and the beds were very comfy. The rest of the facilities in the property were clean and convenient. Great location, tram stop outside and less than 10mins walk from the main fitzroy road. Can’t recommend this place enough, Alan and the team did a great job in accommodating our stay.

my room was big and nicely decorated and so close to great restarants and bars

Beware - this is not a private hotel with wheelchair access. There are stairs to navigate at rhe front of the property, at the front door, plus with the ground floor. The disabled bathroom is not an accessible bathroom. The water is set to over 80 degrees, the taps are three inches wide with no spindles. The toilet has a right sided bar but at the incorrect height and the toilet is not an accessible toilet. The tiles are slippery when wet, with the shower base ona curve. The accessible bedroom is not accessible, and is two old spring beds tied together to form a double bed. Directly outside the bedroom is a large otto bin. Insecticide is sprayed approximately every hour and enters the bedroom. Add to that, one has to either hand over your photo id, either passport, drivers licence, or photo card, which is said to be returned to you when you check out, to obtain a room key. Alternatively, one can pay a non-refundable $50 to obtain the room key without having your ID taken off you until you depart. When paying your $50, 2 photos are taken of your ID, stored on two different mobiles, and despite paying the $50, one still needs to negotiate for the return of the ID. One also has to complete a comprehensive Rules of House, which if not signed or you appear to have broken, will lead to immediate eviction. I do not recommend staying here.

最大のメリットは安いこと。あとは博物館やメルボルン大学に近い。 日本人の考えるようなホテルではなく、シェアハウス形式で、シャワーやトイレは共同。壁が薄いのもあるが、他の客が大音量で音楽聴いてたりテレビを観てたりしたら凄くうるさい。シャワーやトイレの状態も他の客次第。
