Place was an absolute scam, the staff were rude and badmouthed, the management talked to you like ur lower class and the rooms were tiny. From the moment I pulled into the car park I regretted my decision and walking into the reception confirmed that regret.

Quieter part of town (less foot traffic and no tram/train noises). Handy to theatre, array of dining options. As always Melbourne is very walkable. Property (Nov 2024) undergoing some fantastic renovations and upgrades that will be brilliant when completed. There is little to no interference from this during your stay.

I liked the great price, room was clean and spacious, welcoming staff. The only downfall was the lifts. In the middle of renovating, you have to go through 3 /4 narrow doors and small corridors to get to the hotel lift. Seperate lifts for tne odd number floors anda another for even floors. Like a rabbit warren and it's very confusing for the 1st couple of times that you use it.

Room was clean and spacious. I think it had been recently renovated as there was some renovations still going on in the hotel. Reception area was a bit outdated, but room was great.

Best location, right in the middle of the city, pretty much close to everything like chinatown, malls, trams, theatre. Great views from the king size high level floor so i would highly recommend that room when booking. Nice big room and comfy bed. Customer service from staff at front desk & restaurant was 5 star, excellent service. Thanks Team, will definitely stay here again when i come back. Cheers, Mealofa
