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!

I don't normally complain but this wasn't good. Staff seemed nice enough. NOT HAPPY JAN and wouldn't recommend.

The room itself was good, can't complain there. I found the rest of the hotel bizzare. The pool and gym building was very seedy and felt like an undergroung subway, also a strange musty mouldy smell. I tried countless times to contact the reception in anticipation of my stay (over the phone, via email, via their website, via wotif) to no avail. This was incredibly frustrating as I wanted to confirm my check-in time with them (to ensure it was okay). And yet, loved the location of the hotel. I think overall I have mixed feelings, but it was a nett positive once I was there.

3am noisy garbage trucks every night. Couldn’t shut out lights on all night from adjacent buildings. Noisy old fridges, wry thin walls, polyester linen

Look.. what they advertise as the rooms is NOT what you get. They advertise these beautiful rooms but you get what's equivalent to Ibis Motel style accommodation. And yes, precious priscillas complain about it on here and say they'll NEVER stay here again. Sure, more room for us who like VALUE.

Think twice before prioritising cost savings over safety. Yes this hotel is budget friendly, but I had the most terrifying experience when a random person was able to access my hotel room while I was inside getting dressed. Luckily the guy quickly left after he said he had got the "wrong room", but that does not take away from the fact that his key card was able to access a different room to his. And no, this guy was not the housekeeper.

Decent location just outside the city. Room was very small and cramped, bathroom very outdated. Also needed to walk around multiple floors to exit the car park as there’s no stairs/lift. Was fine enough for the one night.
