Very Friendly Staff
Staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room corridors had a musty/mildew smell. Bed was a double even though we’d booked a queen. Parking lot was a fair walk and the breakfast was in a cafe across the road (using a prepaid voucher system). Food was nice and coffee was very good.

Well appointed and styled, this boutique hotel doesn’t have all the amenities of a larger hotel but it’s perfect for the traveller visiting Melbourne to get out and about as its positioned within walking distance to theatres, great restaurants, and public transport. The staff were all great too.

An excellent choice in a really central location, walkable to shops, dining, transport. Rooms are spacious and clean, modern design, and some good comforts like TVs in bedrooms and lollies all day.

This is not a 4 star hotel. Our room stunk of mildew, floor boards had 1-2 inch gaps between them and I have never seen a leakier and mouldier shower. We found bugs flying around in the bedroom. The doors and walls had stains, the worst was the bathrooms with unfinished paint, rusty fixtures and screws, and rotted wood. We asked to change rooms or a refund. The staff were polite and helpful and moved us to another room. In the new room all the issues persisted except the smell and floor boards. Albeit less mould in the shower. Both rooms were styled nicely but cheap fixtures, poor lighting and shoddy paint really ruined it. Shame to experience these poor quality rooms from a brand I expected much more off.
