Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The room was small, but the bed was comfortable and room was clean. Definitely good value for money. Continental breakfast was included and parking price was great....charge was per exit. WE used free tram while we were there, so only had 1 exit charge the day we checked out. Location is fantastic!! Would definitely stay again”
“The location was great but the lifts broke down and everyone had to walk up steps. Felt sorry for people on high floors. Then we had an issue with the door cards. When we came back to our room after being out all day, our door to the room was ajar. The cleaners had apparently forgot to lick it behind them. Not a good thing for any guest. Apart from that, the staff are nice and the room comfortable.”
“The overall location is excellent. Bring right in the heart of Melbourne surrounded by excellent cafes. However the room is small but considering you spend most of the time outside its not an issue. Service is good receptionist always ready to help. The one criticism is the elevator are really slow and you require to take two to get to our rooms.”
