Didn’t realise you needed to put up a sign on the door saying you wanted your room serviced. I’m familiar with putting up a Do Not Disturb sign but didn’t expect a Service Please sign to be needed. There were 3 air conditioning units and they were temperamental. Sometimes they did and didn’t work. Good kitchen facilities but unfortunately the pan was scratched up beyond safe to use. Location was excellent. Very close to trams and although onsite parking was small, I liked that it was locked and onsite.

The rooms are just ok, cheaply renovated. The older gentleman that checked me in on Christmas day lacked any customer service etiquette. No cooked breakfast available, instead they direct you to a burger restaurant! No other on site services available, dont be fooled by "gym close by" etc. Dont expect anything more than a basic room and dont pay anything more than $200/night. You can do a lot better in Melbourne CBD.

The rooms are not ready for us even though check in was 2pm and we went back at nearly 3pm. The staff was still adding the finishing touches to the 2 of the 3 rooms we booked. We requested for baby cot in 1 of the rooms and the staff took a long time to figure how to set up. The cot lacked mattress in the end. The 3 rooms all looked dated. They were also not cleaned well. One of us sneezed continuously upon entering one of the rooms. There were biscuit crumbs on some dining chairs. At least 1 sofa chairs was already damaged when we checked in and not removed. The location was convenient.

Such a good location with easy access to the Skybus, the tram and Marvel Stadium. Despite being so central, it's quiet and peaceful. Super comfy bed. We stay here just about every time we come to Melbourne for an event.

The faucet had broken off from the sink, so it wobbled and you couldn't turn on/off the faucet without two hands, and it never pointed where it was supposed to. The ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mold. There were two sets of roller blinds, but the outer one was just ... missing the actual fabric blind part. This was fine for a few nights, but it's far more budget hotel than it would have seemed.

The room was basic but ok. It was located on the front and the noise from the passing trams was pretty constant so did not get the best sleep each night. The kitchen was old and the electric hob had seen better days and the drinking cups and glasses were not prperly cleaned. The Hotel was close to Marvel Stadium which is why we selected it.
