Budget Hotel in the heart of Melbourne. No fuss check-in and check-out. Old style building and rooms. Good bed and bathroom. Very quiet even though it is right on the main street. No regrets.

Great location in the heart of the city. Great public transport if required. I found the room to be quite drab, a little dirty in that there were marks on the walls which I'm sure would have cleaned off easily. Air conditioner didn't work very well and the room was very warm. Having said that, it was value for money in that it was a cheap cost per night.

Just DON’T stay there…

This place was a filthy dive! Hotels.com pictures were far better than the actual room condition. It had dirt, grime, urine, boogers, mould, slime and dust everywhere, plus many other things from previous guests festering under the bed. Dust was carpeted in piles on the walls, carpets and air con filter, and we got respiratory issues soon after arriving. We did not risk turning on A/C after seeing mould inside. TV asked to be scanned for channels and still did not work, and was last test-tagged on 15/1/14. It was the only appliance even tagged! Fire sprinkler in roof looked to be damaged/inoperable and fire escape exit was closed to foot traffic…the place was a death trap. Whoever last audited them for safety and compliance was either incompetent and/or corrupt. This property should not be advertised on this website.

Apart from the mouldy bathroom and rotting bathroom door frame, communication with the venue was non-existent. No emails or phone calls were returned. The booking confirmation said reception was open from 8am, but when it finally opened at 9am there was a small notice with the changed times. Very difficult to see from 10 meters behind a locked door. Great location, venue should be much better.

Rooms could do with a freshen up but for price and convenience it's brilliant, right in the middle of the City. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again, but if you're after something "fancy", maybe it isn't for you.

Do yourself a favour and don’t stay here. One of the dirtiest motels I’ve stayed at in over 20 years in Australia. The carpets look like they haven’t been cleaned for years, dust everywhere, hair in the bath. weird brown stuff on the plug sockets. The linen and towels were the only clean thing about the stay. It’s run down and depressing and when I left in the morning I found a drunk/stoned man laying in the corridor outside my door, so much for being ‘secure’. Only one lift works and it looks like it could stop at any moment. I don’t need 5 star luxury but I do value cleanliness. Ironically, it was cleaner when I left than when I arrived. Definitely do not recommend until they sort out the cleaning situation. It’s a shame as it’s located in a prime position to explore Melbourne but won’t be going back.
