We only stayed for one night for a conference, but the accomodation was clean and comfortable which served our purpose, plus the room was huge so lots of room to relax. Excellent location, walkable to public transport and multiple great dining options. Staff were very friendly and helpful, very quick to assist us when we couldn't adjust the temperature in our room. Would definitely stay again.

A good place to stay, near transport to move on the free tram zone and to the airport. A bit noisy because of the old A/C and bath ventilator. However is near a few museums and the Yarra river to enjoy the views.
