    ideal location

    perfect stay for city walks and nearby parks

    the staff were friendly and the location was ideal for exploring the city, as it was just a short walk to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens, and I loved being able to stroll along Collins Street to enjoy the local shops and cafes.

    clean room

    Recommended for groups needing a quick stay

    The staff were really helpful and cheery, even with our late check-in. The room, though small, was clean and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities, way better than I expected after six weeks on the road.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but for what we paid, it was still decent.

    Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

    I enjoyed the comfortable bed in my room and appreciated the prompt housekeeping service. However, the lack of window light made the room feel cramped. For future guests, consider choosing a room with a window to enhance comfort. Enjoy local dining options nearby for a great culinary experience.

    affordable price
    powerful shower
    check-in glitch

    I paid just $102 for a night in the center of Melbourne, and the bathroom had a great shower with powerful water flow. The hotel offers a cozy lounge for relaxing and a lovely courtyard to unwind in. Everything was smooth except for a slight check-in issue that got sorted quickly, just double-check your card charges! 😊

    common area

    I loved the warm, friendly atmosphere and vintage decor throughout the hotel. It was very accessible, making my stay comfortable. Plus, the location near Southern Cross Station was perfect for getting around the city easily.

    More senior-friendly seating in common areas would help.

    would stay here again

    The location was on point, just a 5 min walk from Southern Cross Station. My room was spacious and had a nice modern vibe. It had all the essentials, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and a comfy bed. The staff were super helpful too. Breakfast was budget-friendly and pretty good.

    impressive size
    more amenities

    Perfect location near the convention center made it easy for a quick two-day visit. The room was clean, spacious enough for two, and equipped with a useful mini fridge. While the bathroom was impressive, the limited space in the main part of the room was a bit noticeable. Overall, good value for the stay.
