"Handy location a short walk from Sky Bus and Southern Cross station. Comfy room and warm shower. Helpful to be able to leave bag before check in and after check out. Big breakfast was very good value. Unfortunately other guests aren’t always considerate about being quiet in the hallways and sometimes it is also possible to hear water running from other rooms when guests flush the toilet or use the shower but otherwise it was quiet for a central location."

"The hotel is in an amazing location - walking distance to everything in the CBD and beyond, and very close to the tram stop. The room itself was quite dark as it looks out onto a lane, but it had everything you needed and more - an empty fridge, hairdryer, safe, showers caps etc. The bed was very comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone coming to Melbourne!"
