Yes I would stay here again. The staff were so nice and friendly and happy to help. Yes the hotel is a little run down, but the beds are comfortable and at a great price. Having onsite parking makes it all easy aswell and included in the price. The hotel is close to shops and the hospitals aswell which I needed for my stay. Thank you Arden.

The Arden Hotel North Melbourne is a hidden gem. It is super close to the city and most places you might want to visit, has 4 seperate tram lines going near by it and has the quiet but groovy North Melbourne cafe and restaurant scene just around the corner. If you want a convenient, easy to reach and park hotel which has genuinely friendly staff, try this hotel !

This motel decor is a time capsule back to the 80s and maybe 70s! Lovely reception staff excellent location close to hospitals Melbourne University Victoria Market and Errol St restaurants and hotels as well as very handy onsite parking. Rooms are dated as mentioned but clean and practical. Beds are small - anyone over 6 ft would be challenged! Pillows could be updated.
