Easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff, clean and quiet room, comfy beds. Only tricky part was the parking - we were unable to gain access and ended up parking elsewhere. Otherwise, great location and fast check-out process - thank you :)

Location is pretty much it. Bathroom was mouldy- mould killer doesn't cost that much. Floor was oily. No internet connection.

The property that we had was nothing like the pictures that we saw. The room smelled like fresh paint and the bathroom shower screen was not working so water was leaking out from the shower. The carpets looked a little bit dirty and worn. The lifts had issues. Overall, the room was not what I expected.

Checking in was a battle, the room didn’t match the photos. The fire alarm was chirping, spoke to reception and got accused of smoking in the room eventually got it sorted and then had to change the battery in the smoke alarm myself. The wait at the lift was at least 10 minutes each trip

The only good thing about this hotel is that location was great walking distance to lygon st for dinner and queen victoria markets. Parking was easy. Bedding and rooms are uncomfortable and tiny

So the only 2 positive things I would say was the check in was smooth and they delivered another pillow after a request. Then it stopped. This accommodation is absolutely nothing like the pictures. I was supposed to be in a deluxe family apartment. There was nothing deluxe at all. Everything is old, dirty and run down. I get buildings get old but maintenance is a must. To me a backpackers hostel would be flash compared to this place. My next door neighbor knocked on our door complaining that we were knocking on the wall and his door. He blamed my children. They are 18 and 15. Who I can tell you would have no interest in doing anything like that. We also had only just checked in. We spent 2 nights but never again. Sorry give it a miss.
