Very quiet - only heard birds chirping in the morning. Felt safe to explore nearby Lygon Street at night. The nicely updated room was spacious and cosy, and I slept through the night on the comfortable bed. Will stay here again.
We arrived extremely late for check-in and Arun went exceptionally wonderful, he went above and beyond to ensure our stay was safe and he expressed his gratitude. The room was cozy and very clean, the bed was so comfy that my son loved it. We were so happy with our stay and it was so close to restaurants and shops. Will be back again 😍
Room was very clean, bed was spacious and comfortable, especially as we got a free upgrade to a king room.
The only downside was the bathroom was a bit tight.
Otherwise, a lovely overnight stay.
Clean room, new property. We stayed for 6 nights and house keeping was great. Parking is $30/night in their garage so factor that in. Street parking is available sometimes on weekdays but impossible to find on weekends.
Fantastic location for food. Short walk to public transport. Very friendly staff or were very helpful and the pool was great for a quick dip at the end of some long exhaustingly fun days in the city
Staff very helpful, room immaculate, bathroom on the small side. Location was good. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms are older but very clean and comfortable. Very convenient and close to walk to geg food etc. Front of house staff were very welcoming and helpful. Car parking available onsite for $30 which was convenient.
Room was comfortable and clean, however the shower was dangerously small and slippery. Also the step into the shower and also into the room itself maybe should be marked as I almost fell.
The price of the parking was a bit over the top, ut we did appreciate that we had safe parking.
Otherwise, we had a nice stay. Thank you
Clean room, great to have an extra blanket
Reception sraff coukd have informed me about wifi instead on reading it from the wall in the room
Good amenities but some herbal tea would have been appreciated
Strange nit having
