We too stayed during the Aust open. Very incompetent staff, to start with we were told that they had no accomodation for us when booking.....then another family member rang to book accom and low and behold- there are rooms available! On the day of arrival the receptionist started ringing us from 8.30 in the morning wanting to know when we... More

I booked this place months in advance on Wotif, for my friend and I to stay one night during the Australian Open. The day before our stay, I received a phone call from the hotel. A very agitated lady said "I'm sorry but we had a change in management and the previous manager took all the money, so we don't... More

Stayed here with a friend for a long weekend. Plusses: It's right off Wellington Parade, with trams and rail close by. It's in close walking distance to Victoria Parade, Collingwood, Richmond Hill and the CBD. The room was okay, although it was old, and the beds weren't stellar. It was average, and if you're okay with not being in a... More

Not sparkling..didn't care...assistance from staff not an issue, as we are self reliant; everything we needed we had, or could get from someone in short order. This place puts you in a great location to shuttle to everything from the Fitzroy Gardens park to the MCG to the quick bus ride down to Flinders station, which is the hub for... More

The place is in need of renovation, as everything looks really dated, but it's very close to the city and the MCG, so it's good value for money if all you want is a place to sleep. We didn't spend a whole lot of time in our room so it was easy to ignore the decor. However, the hot water... More

I found this place to be good budget accommodation close to the city and shopping. It was clean, neat and secure but is in need of an overhaul. The TV only had 4 chanels, the airconditioning worked better with windows open - even though it was refrigerated and only half the light bulbs worked. the fridge made lots of noice... More

My colleague picked this place, and admittedly the location is convenient and the price is quite good. Clearly they trade on these two factors and provided you actually never need anything from the front desk except to check in or out, it's a decent choice. However, as other reviewers have noted, the owner/manager or whatever he is, is extraordinarily rude.... More

If you want to go to the footy at the MCG you can't get any closer but the rooms are old and run down. If it's a footy trip and you are only going to sleep there than it's ok. If you want something nice go elsewhere More

If you want to go to the football at the MCG, this is the place to stay! It is truly jsut footsteps away. It is also close to the city centre/sights, and the trams run regularly. Sunday, tram tickets are $3 for the whole day, otherwise $7. We stayed here a week. We arrived quite late, and our TV didn't... More

Great location, walking distance from MCG and city centre. Appartments are tried and could do with a face lift, but they are clean. Tiles in bathroom could do with being replaced, some missing making the bathroom look dirty. The young lady on the desk was very nice and polite and could not be more helpful. It is only 3 star...
