Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was small with no outside window but it reflects the budget price we paid. We were only staying one night because we needed to catch an early morning interstate train.
The room was perfectly clean with tea/coffee making facilities.
A small problem we had was the door to the bathroom/toilet was a barn-style door hanging from a rail.
There was no method to lock it and it would slowly open to about halfway unless you held it closed with your hand. Perhaps some sort of lock could be installed.
This may only have affected our room only so not a biggie; just something to be aware of.
Where it wins big time is it's almost diagonally opposite Southern Cross Station so only takes 5 minutes to walk there with luggage. "Location, location, location" as they say.
It is on the edge of the main shopping precinct of Melbourne so a bit of a distance if walking but Melbourne has a free tram service so only a 10 minute tram ride to the GPO if shopping is your main focus.
