Close to station and city centre. Small shoebox room but comfortable with good shower. Could do with some double glazing to dampen train noise which was noticeable but not too bad

Extremely small room, noisy and very noisy dining room and bar with no seating for a meal so went elsewhere. This was the only hotel available on Saturday of Melbourne Cup weekend which I had to get family to the airport. Not my first choice. Helpful staff.

Great location close to Southern Cross and multiple tram lines. Right next to the Aquarium as well. Room was good enough for the price, however the hallway leading to the room smelled like dog. We were ground floor room 8.

The room was perfectly adequate for a quick overnight stay. Spotlessly clean and quite spacious for what is described as a “shoe box”. Area leading to room was looking pretty tired and grubby but once in my room, it was clean, quiet and I felt safe. Great location, it met my needs.

Easy to walk to the train station, and the city centre. Room is spacious and clean enough. Just my room is facing the street and the train rail, which might be a little problem for those who need extreme quiet place to sleep. Overall it is a really nice accommodation for its price.

It was a delightful stay, I'll be sure to come back here if I'm ever in Melbourne again! The only minor facility aspects I'm referencing in that 4 star component were our sink (which had too high of water pressure and splashed everywhere), the broken washer machine, and the elevator wouldn’t open the door at the 3rd floor sometimes. However, they all had workarounds, so it wasn't big deal, and I had a wonderful stay!

I liked the whole experience. The opaque sliding bathroom door was a little intimidating though. Nothing like having a grandma, a son and a grandson all in the same room. 😂. Still it was a good room with good service. I would stay again but ask for a blanket to cover the bathroom door.
