Convenient location & quiet
Stayed for 2 nights in queen studio, convenient location next to tram stop, southern cross station, skybus terminal, plenty of cafes & restaurants. Room was spacious, clean, soundproof. Complimentary tea/coffee machine in reception lounge is a great bonus. Hotel staff were friendly.

Mixed feelings
This hotel is in a very good location near restaurants and shopping centers. The room was nice. Breakfast is a bit of a problem. It is a cooked breakfast with a menu of 6-7 choices. The breakfast area is locked until 2 women come at 7-7:15 and have to set up 4 -5 tables, take your order and cook it. It’s okay if you are not in a hurry. They also don’t give to go boxes for early tour pick ups before 7 am!! The front reception is not there 11 pm-7 am. They have pay washing machine and dryer. Probably wouldn’t stay there again if visiting Melbourne.

Not what I expected.
Arrived early so left our bags at hotel as room not yet ready. When we came back informed room will be ready in 15 and reception will get us. Past 15 and no advice or appeared we were forgotten to be informed.
In room, aircon remote wont turn on. No signage whats reception # and reception not answering so had to go down to have remote fixed. Apparently remote is very old so have to press very hard to get it to turn on. Receptionist might be new (?), she doesn’t know what her reception # for the room.
Find it hard to sleep on first night even though bed is comfy.I could hear noise from outside, men talking.
The morning after arriving back at hotel after having lunch, both my key cards already cancelled out. So I had to go down again at reception to have it activated. They shld have known Im staying more than a day in their system. A lot of inconvenience.
On plus side, the area is convenient for transport, cafes and restaurants. All within walkable distance.

Location was fantastic but the night time felt alittle rough for a family with kids. The room had so much character with two levels and charming little balconies. It really is a cool hotel but definately could use some upgrades. Staff were wonderful.

Use as last resort, but close to Southern Cross st
Bed was extremely uncomfortable, booked through an app and they wanted $100 at the desk as a security deposit even though they already had my credit card, toilet roll holder fell off the wall, flipped over the sheets on the bed only to find dirty prints which could only be described as dirt, fully exposed plaster as in the photos, extremely outdated television that wouldn't connect to anything and didn't have a view of what was on as a digital display. Kitchen was being apparently renovated but wasn't informed of this prior and I eat keto which now made it extremely difficult to go and find food. Even though our room was on the second floor our room faced onto a alleyway between two buildings and we had to listen to all of the drunk people throwing up, fighting and yelling all night. The reason I chose this hotel was because it was the closest to Southern Cross station and I am a person with a walking disability

We were impressed with the front-desk staff by the name Carmen, who displayed commitment in helping us to check room availability when we arrived rather early in the day. She was empathetic and concerned at all times whenever we approached the counter with questions. We are also grateful to the cleaning staff, a young Asian lad who carried out a great job. The check-out staff (not Carmen), however, did not appear to be aware of the the $100 deposit to be returned to us, therefore training is needed on this point to all staff.
