This hotel is old and pretty run down. Our room wasn't very clean, and the carpet had a big rip in it. It needs some upgrading and cleaning, but it is convenient. It's located right next to Lygon Street, it's a short walk to University of Melbourne, and there's lots of nearby shopping.

Really Nice place but was a bit disappointed this time,prob unknown to owner but we go back late went to bed, toilet ran all night, self flushed every minute=no sleep, we also found a compression sock in the end of the bed,mattress was stuffed and the ash tray in the door way full and stunk, not really good enough for those rates.

The place can get a little noisy from the nearby rooms, especially in the morning. There was a spider web in the bathroom and the lights were not cleaned for a while. However it is very close to Lygon St and the check in was quick and easy. The apartment was quite large, but the TV was small.
