“No frills, yet would recommend...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

Main advantage is its central location for the price they charge. Walking distance to Skybus pick up Station. A stone throw away from the Ethiad Footy stadium.
Rooms a rather small and minimalistic in decor, but clean with quality sheets.The service is lacking a bit, as I believe the hotel is short-staffed.
The complimentary hot breakfast is a welcome bonus, although the B/fast room could do with a bit of style upgrade.
Overall a satisfactory stay for a short Melbourne getaway, but dont expect to be pamperd.

Room Tip: Choose top floor to be away from traffic noise

“Rude staff, poor hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012

We definintely wont be staying there again. The staff switched between ignoring you completely and being rude to reasonable requests (ie - linen changes). The rooms are very basic with a musty smell.

“Marvelous and beyond expectation. Will definitely stay again & recommend to friends.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2012 via mobile

We stayed in a tripple room for 5 nights.
The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful.The hotel location is great and we managed to walk to most places of interest like Victoria Market, Casino, China Town, and most major streets. The buffet american breakfast though have limited menu, did filled our tummy comfortably. The room is nice with comfortable beds and generous supply of pillows and bathroom essentials.
Although the room is not totally noise proof from the sound of the cars on street and noises from rooms nearby, the noise level is still acceptable. Some of the towels provided has some dust on it which will need further improvement. Check out is a bit time consuming as the counter staff need to free from attached duty at that time to go and re-inspect the room before refund the deposit.
Overall, we are satisfied with what this hotel has to offer.
