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.

Arrived at check in and had to call a number, Took 10 minutes for person to arrive at front desk and check us in. Hallway lights flickering and smelt like smoke. A/C noisy and didn’t work properly. Window didn’t shut and stayed open. Could hear everything during the night (traffic, trams, people) Spoke to management about this concern and he didn’t care. Construction outside started work at 7am next morning. Mould in bathroom. Only positive is location.

Even though we arrived in the allocated time for checkin there was no one at reception. We were provided instructions on accessing the key and how to get to our room. We were locked out of the building after returning from a night out with only the reception number to contact which went straight to voicemail. No response was provided until 9.30am the following morning via text providing the number to access the building. It was shear luck that we managed to access the property through another traveller otherwise we would have had to seek alternative accommodation. I know you get what you pay for but this was terrible and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I also had my young daughter with me and frankly we were quite scared with the lack of assistance from this property.

Both times i stayed here and booked the same room, the rooms have been completely different. They have both been noisy, loud and unclean. There is also an unbearable AC condenser just outside the window that drones constantly, loud enough that I needed to buy earplugs to sleep. I’ve stayed at a lot of budget motels recently but you can get better in the city for less.

It had a central location, was cheap for Melbourne and turns out there was a reason why. I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone. The reception desk is open from 9am-5pm. Getting there at 5.30pm meant I had to self checkin, at the same time as another person. It was very uncomfortable.

Arrived early so decided to see if we could drop bags off and check in later - reception was unattended so rang the number listed to call and waited for a return call - we are still waiting for that return call over 3 days later! When we did check in the guy at reception was efficient and friendly and explained the after hours entrance. The lift was new looking and working well - unlike the other 2 lifts that were signed as not in use! The corridor was old and worn out. The room was smaller than it looked on the photos (family room with queen bed and 2 single beds). There was a funny old smoke smell in the bathroom which appeared to have been cleaned, but in need of an update and a deep clean once in a while. The window to the room overlooked the worksite of the metro tunnel works, where they do seem to work most of the night and from early in the morning. Which would not have been so bad if the window was able to be closed better and could have stopped some of the noise. The beds were comfortable enough to sleep on and clean. Air-co kept the room cool, however was on the noisey side, which as a plus did block out some of the construction noise!! This hotel is in a great position, close to Flinders Street Station, Federation Square and everything else in the CBD. So in summary, if you want a hotel in the middle of the city and do not need all the luxuries but just a place to sleep then this may just be it. If you are looking for luxury then this is not your hotel.

Perfect location, room was average, comfortable enough, then I had a shower....... glass door and the base was clean, however the walls were disgusting. An ok stop for 1 night if its just to sleep and its cheaper on busy weekends.

It would be a great positive and help to the Motel if the Manager spent some time reading the reviews along with this one and acted upon them. The location was great It's comfortable but not ritzy or the Ritz. If you want a bed and then be out and about all day then this motel is ok. I was provided with clear after hours check in arrangements (one of the few ticks). Here you get what you pay for - basic. A little difficult to find and better signage somehow would go along way. Walking along the footpath there is more emphasis on the Travelex Money Changer kiosk. If you walk at the road side (no don't do that) you may have a chance at seeing the name of the Motel. Notes for the Manager: Poor mattress sagging in the middle. No kitchen utensils other than a coffee spoon yet has a microwave oven. Noisy from the outside building/construction from 6am each morning. Some power points did not work and one was dangerous. Had other switches on the wall that didn't work. Bathroom needed a good clean as there was mould evident. Toilet seat was stained with the obvious. Air conditioning was noisy and seemingly had one speed - high. While this is a cheaper accommodation than other places there should be no excuse for the above points as they are fixable - so how about it Manager????

Give a miss

Bathroom was mouldy and TV didn't work. We were shifted to a slightly cleaner room but wouldn't recommend to anyone unless the room was dusted and vacumed under everything movable and the grouting replaced. Bath was rusty.

It’s cheap and that’s what ur paying for

The only thing ur paying for is location. If ure a no-fuss, i dont care i just need somewhere to sleep, it’s bang on worth the money. But all the furniture, bedding was worn down, as cruel as it is to say this, like the furniture u see people throw out on the kerb. I arrived over public holidays so saw no one working there at all. You had to ring a number to access a safe with the hotel keys. There was a gentleman from the UK desperate to check in but his phone wasn’t for local calls so it was lucky I turned up to help him out.
