The Bath room was just too small, the tap in the sink was loose and the tile below the shower had come out
Key deposit not refunded even after a week.
On Monday 22nd January 2024, breakfast was not ready even after 10 minutes.

The man "running the show" was extremely friendly and approachable. The building is not new by any means but the room had all that was needed for me. Clean, comfy bed, big screen tv, hot shower, hot drink making facility. It wasn't 5 star but definitely good enough for me. And only about a 1.5 km walk to the tennis centre. If I wanted to be picky, I'd say something about the door being a bit stiff to open and close (just due to movement/weather of the old building is my guess) and there was no fan in my bathroom. Everything else was absolutely fine. Oh and the cooked breakfast in the morning had great variety :)

We did not stay.
Booked (which I didn’t) and had no reminder or pre- guest message to advise of booking.
No one returned my call as to why I was billed for something I didn’t book nor stay at.
$200 gone without my knowledge.
Pleasantly surprised, very comfortable, affordable and easy to get to the places we wanted to go

Adequate room for the night
This place is old and quaint. We had a double ensuite room, and it was as described. Bathroom was lovely, shower great, queen bed comfortable, aircon worked well on a couple of hot summer days/nights. The breakfast is adequate, a great little inclusion. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We stayed here to go to the tennis, great spot within walking distance of sporting precinct, as well as the city if you need to go there. Good value for money if you just want a little room for the night. Added bonus is the free car parking off the street. Better for smaller cars though as it is quite narrow.

Great value bed and breakfast at a relatively central location. MCG and Fitzroy gardens within walking distance. Off street parking albeit limited and relatively tight rear lane access. Good variety served at breakfast.
Negatives, no room service. Creaky floor boards. Our toilet had a slow leak meaning the cistern was constantly trying to fill, light sleepers take note! Towels and décor in general are antiquated but not in a nice way. Only one key between the two of us unless you pay an extra deposit. Check in times relatively limited.
Room very basic, limited TV channels, bathroom across hallway, bathroom dirty, shower didn’t work despite complaint
Breakfast very basic, started at 8am
Excellent location with excellent value for money, great hosts, free parking and free breakfast.
We had a double room, bed was comfy, shower had good pressure and room was clean. Its pretty dated but it suited our needs perfectly. We have booked another night already!
Handy location, we enjoyed our stay. The room was dated however it was clean. Overall it’s good value considering a hot breakfast and parking was included.
The location fabulous.
Room needed a good clean. Place very tired. My room had a noticeable unpleasant smell. Thick dust under bed and cobwebs around the room.. the bed was comfortable and i hope clean.
Budget price and very well located, close to Richmond, Collingwood and the CBD

The location of this property is excellent for access to the city, the MCG, the Yarra river and Richmond. It has an old world charm & is located in a beautiful area. The staff, especially Anthony always go out of their way to be helpful and make your stay enjoyable. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
Well worth the drive from Sydney. Great location, friendly staff and freshly cooked breakfast. Left the car parked at hotel for 3 days and travelled with Myki card on trains and trams.

This is a three star B & B as advertised.
It is definitely the top end of that rating.
Place was clean and comfortable.
One can see that renovations have been recent.
Heating was very good.Mini fridge was very cold.
Very close to both trains and trams.
Staff where very friendly on arrival and departure.
If you are wanting 5 star facilities then look else where.
I will definitely be staying there again

Great proximity to Epworth hospital
Staff were great
A beautiful old building in need of a refurbishment but had everything I needed for a short stay in a perfect location. The service was fantastic and the breakfast was easy and very satisfying.
It was close to MCG / Tennis Centre - purpose of my visit. It was a quiet neighbourhood, felt safe walking around and could get where I needed to go easily. Didn't realise breakfast was included in the price, so that wad a bonus for me.
