The room was perfectly adequate for a quick overnight stay. Spotlessly clean and quite spacious for what is described as a “shoe box”. Area leading to room was looking pretty tired and grubby but once in my room, it was clean, quiet and I felt safe. Great location, it met my needs.

The rooms were small and the bathroom was extremely small. If you were a large person you might have problems fitting through the shower door. Was an older property and needs some updating and fixing. train tracks run by the hotel and are loud.

Easy to walk to the train station, and the city centre. Room is spacious and clean enough. Just my room is facing the street and the train rail, which might be a little problem for those who need extreme quiet place to sleep. Overall it is a really nice accommodation for its price.

They claim to have parking, but this is a paid parking lot off site. It is provided at a discounted rate, and not 'just 5 minutes walk' from the hotel. It took about 10 minutes, with my bag and constantly having to stop at Red lights to cross the road.

It was a delightful stay, I'll be sure to come back here if I'm ever in Melbourne again! The only minor facility aspects I'm referencing in that 4 star component were our sink (which had too high of water pressure and splashed everywhere), the broken washer machine, and the elevator wouldn’t open the door at the 3rd floor sometimes. However, they all had workarounds, so it wasn't big deal, and I had a wonderful stay!

I liked the whole experience. The opaque sliding bathroom door was a little intimidating though. Nothing like having a grandma, a son and a grandson all in the same room. 😂. Still it was a good room with good service. I would stay again but ask for a blanket to cover the bathroom door.
