Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Good location with buses and trams close by. The room was clean and equipped with 2 chairs (always a plus when you're a couple), kettle and fridge. Treated to a spectacular view of hot air balloons from our window on Tuesday morning. EV charging was convenient if not exactly cheap ($30-). Only one block from Lygon Street eateries and a Woolworths supermarket just up the road.

Loved the location, walkable to museum, carlton gardens, CBD, shops, restaurants. It was quiet and clean and staff were excellent. The bed was ok (a bit lumpy), and bathroom a bit small but it was clean. Overall the hotel met our expectations and it was also great to receive a free bottle of wine due to Expedia silver status.

CARL, Morley

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A smaller, more local old style hotel in Carlton next to everything on Lygon St but close to the CBD and the Carlton Gardens made this a more peaceful and friendly 6 night stay than if I had gone with my first choice, a flagship 5 star in the CBD. Very clean, good housekeeping, just 3 stories so quick to get out for a walk. Very friendly staff, and everything you need nearby. Using Uber from this location wasn't expensive, and the beds were super comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxed and tree lined streets and the university nearby, it's de-stressing and calm. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.
