Convenient location & quiet

Stayed for 2 nights in queen studio, convenient location next to tram stop, southern cross station, skybus terminal, plenty of cafes & restaurants. Room was spacious, clean, soundproof. Complimentary tea/coffee machine in reception lounge is a great bonus. Hotel staff were friendly.

Mixed feelings

This hotel is in a very good location near restaurants and shopping centers. The room was nice. Breakfast is a bit of a problem. It is a cooked breakfast with a menu of 6-7 choices. The breakfast area is locked until 2 women come at 7-7:15 and have to set up 4 -5 tables, take your order and cook it. It’s okay if you are not in a hurry. They also don’t give to go boxes for early tour pick ups before 7 am!! The front reception is not there 11 pm-7 am. They have pay washing machine and dryer. Probably wouldn’t stay there again if visiting Melbourne.

Not what I expected.

Arrived early so left our bags at hotel as room not yet ready. When we came back informed room will be ready in 15 and reception will get us. Past 15 and no advice or appeared we were forgotten to be informed. In room, aircon remote wont turn on. No signage whats reception # and reception not answering so had to go down to have remote fixed. Apparently remote is very old so have to press very hard to get it to turn on. Receptionist might be new (?), she doesn’t know what her reception # for the room. Find it hard to sleep on first night even though bed is comfy.I could hear noise from outside, men talking. The morning after arriving back at hotel after having lunch, both my key cards already cancelled out. So I had to go down again at reception to have it activated. They shld have known Im staying more than a day in their system. A lot of inconvenience. On plus side, the area is convenient for transport, cafes and restaurants. All within walkable distance.
