We were pretty disappointed with our stay. Unfortunately the room was not as advertised… the “city view” balcony looked directly onto a hotel wall only a few metres away, which was nothing like the photos shown when booking. The room also had an unpleasant smell when we arrived and we had to purchase our own room spray just to make it bearable. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. There were also several maintenance and cleanliness issues. The bin in the room was extremely small and impractical, the TV in the bedroom did not work, and the toilet had visible skid marks when we first arrived, which was pretty off-putting. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations and for the price, we expected much better attention to cleanliness, comfort and accuracy in the listing.

Room and location very good.BUT booking in a nightmare…there is no one on reception so if you are arriving late, or if there is an issue with your room you must phone and wait.If you lock yourself out no one on site to help…worth paying a little more and getting the luxery of someone at the premises. BUT the accommodation good.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff receiving us were courteous. The building does not have parking and we did not realise that until we got there, a nightmare and expensive to park around Melbourne CBD. Bathroom was very poorly cleaned. We asked to clean it, they came a day later, but we were to leave the next day. Carpet needs an overhaul as well as the dishwasher.

Good for a short stay. Not a long stay. If you are staying for longer, higher one of the bigger rooms. The room is okay. Our washer/dryer combo could not dry clothes, even when we attemoted to try something for 4 hours, so everything we washed had to be hung to dry. The room gets stuffy and dusty very quickly. I got a bit sick due to the accumulating dust in the room from the carpet. This is no fault of the place, but cockroaches came into the room whenever we opened the doors for fresh air. Im guessing it is because the room was humid and dusty. The bathroom gets also easily flooded as the shower door has a gap at the bottom that leads to the rest of the bathroom. Staff are phenominal however with their service. Whenever we needed them, they were available and tailored to our needs. The amenities were also good!
