Hidden gem, only found this place through a friend’s recommendation as it doesn’t appear to come up high in searches - which probably won’t stay this way for long! Would love to come back. Thank you for the stay.

Good choice with a decent basic hotel in Melbourne

Fantastic location if you need to stay in the hotel, walking distance to public transportation and restaurants just outside your hotel. It is located in the "elegant" section of China town near the Parliament. Spacious room, adequate amenities, with the right price, it is a very good choice rather than pay much more in the old hotels.
