Good location in the middle of melb CBD. I've booked this hotel a couple of times. Unfortunately there was a red stain on our sheets that my partner had to cover up with a fitted sheet. Not sure what it was, but alas not a big deal. Amenities were great, and we did get a better room that we originally booked!

Room was not like the pictures, very small and dated with a bed that was small. The hall way too the room smelt of weed smoke and stale beer. Front counter staff were also not overly friendly.

The room I had was very small and that was incredibly hard the sofa bed was also slightly broken on one end. Also the door handle on the inside of the front door was loose and came off in your hand when you open the door I’m not forgetting in the toaster you have to hold down the button , I don’t think I will be staying there again. I will look for something that cost me a bit more money but It will be a quality hotel

Walking into the lobby you may become excited (I sure was) until I was told that I was not staying here but in fact in the building next to it. Going up the elevator the hallway to our room was dark and felt as if we were going to get murdered, our room being no better,the rooms are joint by a window, only some of the locks work and the second rooms door is glass leaving my friend with no privacy. We were welcomed by a messy room, with used pimple patches on the counter, weird stains, and a smell that made everyone sick. We ended up buying wipes in order to feel more comfortable cleaning every surface. This place is not bad if you need a cheap place to get drunk but from the pictures presented, I am not pleased

Room was very dirty. I had changed rooms but it was very noisy. It got limited sleep because of the pub across the road and the tram line. I also left my headphones in my first room. I offered a cash reward to get these back unfortunately these were not returned to me. I got minimal help from reception and was told to make a police report would not stay again.

The photos of the rooms are not even similar to what we got. The listing promises a couch or sofa in every apartment, we didn’t get one so we had no where to really sit together and only 3 dining chairs for a booking for 5 people. The pool was freezing and the smell on the pool/gym level was unpleasant. Only one lift was working which lead to long waits for a busy building.

The room conditions were okay, but the kitchenette stovetop was non-functional and hot water in the baths had stopped working properly after our second night there. Housekeeping also came and took our towels and didn’t replace them, causing us to have to come down to the reception to ask for it manually; something that wouldn’t be much of a problem except for the fact that we weren’t provided instructions on how to operate the (what I assume is an) intercom and thus had to look to using the elevators. Only one elevator was functional, and on our second day it completely stopped working when we got back from our activities, causing us to walk up 7-8 flights of stairs to reach our room. Overall, placement in the city, while convenient, doesn’t justify the conditions of the building very much. Additionally considering our room was in a separate building from the reception, and were told by other residents that the pool “had a layer of scum building up on it”, would look to other alternatives for future travel.
