A recent make-over on these rooms, makes them quite pleasant, on the surface, but a bit cheaply done. Splurging on an extra lcd tv in the bedroom would've saved us moving the furniture around, for when we wanted to lie in and watch morning tv. Kitchenette has all the basics. The aircon was dodgy, so fans were supplied. That in itself is fine, except that they didnot tell us that before we went up to the room. Thankfully,being from a warm climate, we weren't bothered, still full disclosure before going to the room would've been appreciated. Staff were friendly and obliging with early check in and maps and directions for basic sight-seeing and getting around. The location, although stuck in a little one way alley, full of construction, is right behind Myers and the mall (for all you shoppers). The only real downers of this moderately priced cbd hotel is.....1. driving there, parking and unloading your luggage out the front would be a nightmare. 2. Dragging your suitcases up the few very large colonial entrace steps is a pain, therefore, 3. Doesn't seem very wheelchair friendly.Overall reasonable, clean, freindly, good price, good location. Would i stay there again? Hmm, probably stay round the corner at the Sommerset on Elisabeth st (same basic price, but more room to move , 2 tv's and washer/dryer)

Hello,
I was staying at this hotel first at 302 , first impression the toilet wasn't clean but we got to meet a friend so we left then later on that night it was a crazy night, me n my partner ended up at the hospital because he was in such pain however got home early morning went right to sleep. soon I woke up i was facing at the wall with full of make up and finger prints all over it I felt like staying at back packer place....No! I mean worst than that and under the pillow case got a lot of hair from the past customers and it kinda made me sick. so i went down and takled to one of the lovely helpful lady and she was going to move me to 303 hope for better but soon i got back to my hotel room the head of house keeper lady she went bang on the front door. I was wondering how can she get to mine that fast. I shown her where I felt unclean and told her those make up mark can be clean they just dont seen to make any effort so she told me is " NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS ROOM" and all fire up over it and telling me is a old hotel pretty much tell me to put up with it in a very rude way! I've stayed at 7 stars hotel in Dubai and I go to Melbourne and around the world a lot that was the worst i've stayed EVER. the same price I can stay at darling tower on collin or city edge they are way better than yours and I don't have to put up with cocky cleaner. I thought i just point it out but at the end I got a much cleaner room and stayed the rest as my partner doesn't like to move around specially while he was in such pain! I just hope your company get better and one day I'll come back to stay with you.

I booked the hotel based on its location which is great, 1 min walk and you're in the middle of the main shopping areas. Although the website says there is some construction going on next door what it should say is there is a massive hole in the ground next door. The site starts about 6am every day but Sunday and anyone interested in sleeping past this time should go elsewhere. Its incredibly noicy and spending anytime in the hotel room from about 6am to 6pm is a pain. I know that staying in any city can be quite noicy but when the construction crew start using the angle grinder just outside your window at 6.30am and you cant even hear the tv then thats a bit too much. As for the rooms they're in need of a refurbishment but i've seen worse. Would i stay here again? Not for a couple of years until the building next door has been finished.

Booked an apartment on wotif, 5th floor, small, clean but in dire need of refurbishment. Handle fell of bedroom window opener, very old analogue tv with a remote that did not work properly, badly marked walls and stained carpet. No spare blankets or pillows and only a thin blanket on the main bed. It was the coldest january day in melb for 3 years. Thought the idea of booking last minute on a discount site was to increase low occupancy ... not to unload an inferior product. This hotel is in a great location ... there is a massive construction site next door that was fortunately inactive during the xmas holiday period. Small sep windowless room with a single bed and no remote for the ac to even circuate some air. Parking overnight is $22 when ticket is stamped at reception.The parking station is at least a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. Very glad we only booked one night.
