It's a fine 3 star hotel. It is what I expected. I only came here to sleep for one night. Bed was good. Amenities were good. The toilet and bathroom were small in my room. Overall, for a solo traveller, it's a fine hotel/motel. Don't expect a great hotel room.

The room was good for the price and in a good location. However the bed broke and I reported it. They did nothing about it. Told me it would be fixed and it wasn't. Had to rearrange the room to be able to sleep at all. It was a nice place, but the staff just didn't care at all.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room itself was pretty dirty. Lots of built up dust underneath furniture and appliances. The air con worked great, no issues there. Check-in was straight forward and easy. The location is great. 3 minute walk from Flinders and ease if access to Melbourne. It could use a bit of care, but you get what you pay for and it served its function as a short-term stay.

Definitely the second worst mattress and base I’ve ever slept on. Should be sent to landfill immediately. And the room was grotty. Needs a serious deep clean. Apart from that, staff good, location excellent. They sent a helpful text message, explaining how to get in and where to find the key, way ahead of time.

Beware! We had to change rooms because the one we were in didn't have working electrical sockets and smelled bad. The new room had clean beds and working electrics, but all public areas have graffiti, really worn carpet, bits of rubbish. The staff are really nice and helpful but the building is in serious disrepair and didn't feel very safe.

Didn't interact with any staff due to a late check-in and very early check-out, but I didn't mind that. Instructions for after hours check-in were straightforward, and easy to follow, much appreciated! Room was clean and organised, and I liked the toiletries provided, very useful as I'd forgotten mine for that trip. Overall, I had no issues, and will very much book here again when staying in the city.

Seamless check-in and check-out. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. However, the toilet seat was missing, the bathroom exhaust didn’t work and the TV didn’t work. That said, I got the most amazing price. Now I know why! But given the knock down price, I really can’t complain.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bad. The room needs a deep clean, not just a superficial wipe over. There is dirt (filth) on the floor along the edges of the walls. It needs to be scrubbed hard. There were dead insects in the bottom draw of the cupboard one might normally put clothes. The front of the toilet (outside) was stained. There was a cup & a saucer and various coffee, tea & sugar sachets scattered in a cupboard but no spoon. Reception closes at 5:00PM (too late to ask for one). No batteries in the AC remote. Only 1 pillow. There is a lot of noise coming up from Swanston Street, people, trams etc, rooms at the back probably don't have this issue. There is only a curtain on the shower, looks like there might have been a door once but it obviously was broken and a curtain was a quick fix. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The good. The single bed was quite comfortable, not too hard. The shower kept an even temperature. It is centrally located and cheap (compared to most other options). Free toiletries. Conclusion. I don't mind "old" but old can be cleaned.

Negatives: The room was unclean - visible dust and dirt along edges of the room, visible black mould in the bathroom, hair dryer did not work, door trims are coming away from the wall in the bathroom reflecting poor maintenance. Positives: bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom supplies were provided, good location.

Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was perfect. Building was without hot water on first night of stay but staff had it fixed by the morning. Superficial structural damage to the carpet and doorframe near bathroom left room feeling run down. TV reception was non-functional. No room service was provided, nor did staff inform if such an option was available. More communication in this regard would be appreciated. Due to the unfortunate timing of events during my stay, room prices were far above what one would consider a fair nightly rate, however, at a lower rate, its a fine budget option for a few nights.
