Comfortable, friendly service, great location
I stayed here twice in two weeks, having returned due to the friendly service and great location from my first visit. Only downside was it can be a bit noisy from the street. The comfortable bed and clean facilities made up for this.

It was a friendly greeting from the staff member who was quite helpful. The room was adequate for our stay and the bathroom was clean and the shower was excellent. The only problem was that there was nowhere to sit apart from the bed. This made eating very hard. I know it was a small room but just having even a couple of folding chairs would have been nice so you could sit and have a nice cuppa. In all it was pretty comfortable.

Great location, the hotel is within walking distance to city and MSAC. Room is clean and staffs are very nice and helpful. If you are looking to stop and rest, this hotel offers the best option you can get in south Mel. Price is very reasonable, very good dollar value.

This property was close to our sport venue so ideal location. Unfortunately beds were not correct according to our booking and couldn’t be rectified in time for our sleep. This affected our comfort and purpose for stay. Disappointing

Heard someone (staff) complaining outside my room about a customer storing luggage and leaving. Profanity was used loudly. Then heavy metal music continued to be played loudly while I was trying to get some sleep. Was between 9-11am but still expected a quiet place to be able to rest peacefully.

The location was good in South Melbourne with lots of eateries around. The computer system at the inn was not functioning properly and I did not receive any instructions till early the next day after I check in.

The location was great 😊 but the parking wasn’t. The guest house has NO private parking. Stayed for 1 week and didn’t get one decent nights sleep. We had the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, felt every spring & it was only a double size you couldn’t hang over the edge as it had very sturdy steel side supports. In addition to this we heard people coming & going all night up & down the steel staircase like baby elephants & every door SLAMMED shut. Whilst the place was very clean the cleaner was loud eg music playing singing loudly & swearing for all to hear. Certainly not discreet by any means. I would not recommend this place until these issues have been resolved.

Clean comfortable room for the budget-conscious. Secure building. I stayed 4 nights during a sporting event, and was out early, and back very late each day. Management accommodated my only request without a fuss.

No parking other than on street. The website didn’t mention parking but a photo on the website more or less illustrated it. Rat/mouse poison in the room, Rc air conditioner didn’t work. I needed a microwave for medical reasons and was told this would be additional $10 per day. Despite site indicating staffed from 8 am till 6 I think but there wasn’t anyone there for the 2 1/2 hours I was on the site. I was in the room for 2 hours.
