The hotel had some positives, such as friendly and efficient service, but the rooms were disappointing with a strong unpleasant smell and very limited space. The location was convenient for transport but lacked privacy and some security concerns were noted. Dining options were limited but staff were friendly.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although not serviced every day, was quiet and acceptable despite being tiny with no view. The cold surroundings were a downside, and the inability to open the window was inconvenient. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city with easy access to trams and taxis. The staff provided excellent service, but the expired parking PIN was a hiccup. The dining options were limited, with only basic items available for breakfast; however, the rooms were priced affordably.

The hotel is conveniently located in the CBD area, making it easy to get around town and close to major transport links. The rooms are basic but functional, although the layout may seem a bit unusual with the shower next to the bed. The staff is professional and friendly, going above and beyond to help, but there were some issues with unhelpful responses from certain members. The dining options are basic, with some maintenance issues like the out-of-order pancake machine. Despite some drawbacks, the budget-friendly price and excellent location near supermarkets and public transportation make it a decent choice.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean and had great hot water in the shower, but there was no room to keep luggage after check-out. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to be helpful and pleasant. The location was perfect, with easy access to transport and central attractions, but there were some power tool noises nearby. The dining experience was okay with some room for improvement in the variety of options. Overall, a great value for the money.

I found this hotel to be conveniently located in Melbourne, with friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms were a bit small and could feel stuffy at times, especially with the view of the outdoor AC units. The air con was necessary but meant sacrificing privacy by keeping the curtains open during the night. The location was excellent, although the dining options were limited for the price paid.

The hotel is located in the main city and comfortable for travel. The rooms are small but clean and very quiet, though the shower is a bit awkward to use. The service is very nice and friendly, coming up straight away with any requested amenities. The location is great, right near all main transport links and Flinders Street station, even though there are some homeless people in the area. The dining option offers basic choices, but the price is good value for what you get. Overall, it's a convenient place for a weekend stay when you need a clean base for the night.

The hotel's location on Elizabeth St is very good, surrounded by tram stops, supermarkets, shopping malls, and restaurants, making it convenient for travelers. The rooms had a few odd setups like the shower and basin being in the room, while the toilet faced the exterior wall of a building next door. The air conditioner sometimes brought in smells from the alley, and the room itself was small with only a bed and no other furniture.

The hotel offers rooms at the back of the property with useful facilities like a fridge and washing machine; however, the noise level from next door and outside is quite high due to poor window quality.
