Very handy location to all tranport

Very handy location to all tranport and central city shopping. Not five star but certainly adaquate. This is more a location for people who spend more time out of the hotel enjoying Melbourne and not a resort where you would spend much of your day. Execellent dining just across the river bridge, with excellent river walks in the evening.

Excellent location opposite Flinders

Excellent location opposite Flinders St station; rooms refurbished and pleasing colours, if a little small. Beds were just right. Great showers and very clean bathrooms. Very quiet. Because the tennis was on, room rates were a little expensive.

The room was small, but well situated

The room was small, but well situated with a view of the river. The hotel was wonderfully located, close to Flinders St Station and the city hub. The staff were friendly, although we found that the Skybus would not pick up there, and we had to get a taxi to the terminus.
