Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific Cheap Holidays

Great spot for a trip to Melbourne eay walk to casino, flinders,shops

My only compliant is slack of smaller snack meals in the resturant.

A wonderful place to stay when in Sydney as it is so close to everything you need, the service is exceptional and the breakfast delicious. Thank you

The staff were absolutely lovely and the property, while a decent walk from Gowrie train station, was easy access into Melbourne and ideal for our event at the Marvel Stadium. Trains are frequent and cheap - you do need to buy a myki card tho (we got ours at the airport). Accommodation is more like student halls or a backpackers/hostel (albeit with own rooms and bathroom facilities). Incredibly basic but acceptable for the cost and our one night stay. We were on the ground floor but had little to no noise (the main noise was the aircon - nothing Loop earplugs can’t cancel out!) and the rooms were secure - with grilles on the downstairs windows and a blackout shade (slightly ripped). We did worry about walking around at midnight after our event, but we needn’t have - it’s on a busy road and well lit. The area is a bit run down but well serviced with food places and supermarkets in walking distance. The hotel has a kitchen and laundry, if you have the need. Overall we were really happy despite it being an incredibly basic accommodation.

It's not designed to be a luxury stay so you have to manage your expectations with this hotel. It's essentially a motel in the CBD with motel-style layout and inward facing windows. The bathroom was the main problem for me as it was very dirty. There were hairs of lengths and shapes in the shower, around the toilet and so on... The carpet also wasn't the cleanest and small things weren't working like the heating which is needed as the room is accessible from outside. At check-in, you'll also have to sign a declaration that states you won't do drugs and other unsociable things in your room which I suppose indicates the sorts of issues this place has faced before. Staff were very friendly and accomodating however and regardless of its quirks, it's still a very reasonable option in the city centre close to everything you could need including walking distance from Southern Cross station. But, I wouldn't stay here again unless like on this occasion it was the only option available.
