Was okay but breakfast not that great. Only one coffee machine and limited choice. Average. Only one lift working when we were there which was frustrating. That said great location, bed was super comfy, room big and clean. Would i stay again? For the price paid i think i could find better. 7/10

The balcony was a non event - not even worth calling it that. Light comes into the room under the door and through the door hinges making sleeping difficult. We evn put a towel at the bottom of the door to try and lessen the brightness but nothing could be done about the huge gap where the hinges of the door were. It was a great location butt a budget price means it is a re lbudget and not very comfortable room with a sloe chair and a desk chair and bed. That was it. Oh and one tiny long lige milk carton for 8 or so coffee sachets.

The Kiwi receptionist we dealt with was extremely friendly and helpful as it was our first time in Melbourne. The room is small if you add a roll out bed for a third person. One of the two elevators was not in order, so there was usually long wait times to use them. Building is a little dated.

Staff were approachable, on the first day had to park bit far, but on the following day got the nearest parking which was easy for a quick check out. Great location, however the television didnt have you tube or didnt even have a smart tv which was disappointing for the kid. The shower didnt have a glass door/ separation too. Nit overall good for money. Easily accessible to everywhere in the city.
