Location is fantastic. Reception staff were fantastic. The bedrooms are tiny! Can just walk around it but definitely couldn't keep suitcase in there, they had to sit out in the little lounge. Good enough to rest your head at night.

Do not stay here. We booked a four bedroom apartment and did not receive due to maintenance issues and our family of 4 was split between 2 rooms in different areas. The room we ended up with had a staircase directly near the bedroom door and I fell down this in the middle of the night and split my head open on a broken doorstop. The toilet seat was also broken as was the A/C. Room was dirty with handprints and stains on floor and walls and rotting wood and mold in the bathroom. We didn't even get a rubbish bin provided. Our other rooms they offered were no better condition and had their own safety hazards. No room had hand soap or hand towels, cutlery was unwashed. DO NOT stay here if you value your life. Other customers were overheard complaining of similar issues with their rooms not being available, lack of supplies and safety hazards. Some even had rooms with bedbugs

The room was tiny and not as advertised. The bathroom had black mould around the shower handle, the TV didn’t work, the air conditioner had a broken knob. The dishes in the cupboards were visibly dirty and I found rubbish under the sheets on the bed. Disgusting, wouldn’t recommend and will not be staying again.

Check in was fine, wasn’t informed that I would be staying in their other building. Made it to the room and the property seemed fine, then started noticing that the doors and some walls had holes in them. One of the rooms had a Lower window that little kids could open and then climb onto the aircon and fall to their death. The fridge didn’t work and there was a washer and dryer in the apartment, but wasn’t allowed to use. The beds felt like I was sleeping on boards. The price I paid I was expected more especially if they are asking for a 100 dollar damage hold..

Terrible room advertised as near and clean when we arrived room was not taken care of or properly cleaned, wouldn’t let me switch rooms. Honestly a backpackers hostel is cleaner and cheaper than staying in this “3 star” hotel Will not definitely coming back.

Liked: Cleanliness
it is a unique hotel. Basic but good. clean and comfortable. don't expect great TV and channels etc but has excellent internet. My room had patchy Air Con and other issues which they did try and fix. i was there 10 days. Tram Stop RIGHT OUT FRONT. So pretty brainless. 2 stops from Melb Central. Lots and lots of food options and coles etc to stock up for self catering. *** laundry good but you need your own washing powder!
