They display rooms with queen sized beds and two bedside tables. This room had one bed side table and the other side of the bed was pushed up against the wall. Is this the quality of room you get if you don't book directly with the hotel? Very poor.

Loved the location, walkable to museum, carlton gardens, CBD, shops, restaurants. It was quiet and clean and staff were excellent. The bed was ok (a bit lumpy), and bathroom a bit small but it was clean. Overall the hotel met our expectations and it was also great to receive a free bottle of wine due to Expedia silver status.

A smaller, more local old style hotel in Carlton next to everything on Lygon St but close to the CBD and the Carlton Gardens made this a more peaceful and friendly 6 night stay than if I had gone with my first choice, a flagship 5 star in the CBD. Very clean, good housekeeping, just 3 stories so quick to get out for a walk. Very friendly staff, and everything you need nearby. Using Uber from this location wasn't expensive, and the beds were super comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxed and tree lined streets and the university nearby, it's de-stressing and calm. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Very helpful staff. Excellent service.

The staff the service. Everything was wonderful. The room was quite pleasant. Everything seemed to work okay. I've stayed there a few times before but this time there was noise. Someone was yelling or screaming or something through the night outside the pool area and you could hear it kept me awake. Hint there is electric vehicle charging downstairs for $30 extra on top of the powercor cost.
