This property is only a 3 star hotel, even though it is advertised as a 4 star hotel. The room was lacking an iron (even though it had an ironing board). There were no towel hooks in the bathroom. One of the bed lamps didn't work and the other was dodgy. No face washers. The refrigerator was iced up and couldn't work correctly. The $6 breakfast was a poor experience. Very unappetising. It is better to pay more to eat food that is appealing. Had to phone the hotel to get someone to attend to the reception when booking in.

It’s a great location as it was right in the Melbourne central. But the hotel’s room have no noise insulation so you basically can hear everything. No phone in the room to call for service and house cleaning was terrible

We where greeted politely when we first arrived, on the site it states there is offsite parking discounted rates available, when asked about it we where denied that and the man was rude, we asked if there was a bathroom so we could go to the toilet and no real response we found the toilet and when I went into the ladies bathroom it was disgusting, toilet paper hanging out of a bin beside the toilet, mould/mildew in the basin, when we got to the room it looked nothing like the images on the page, and the en-suite tiles where lifted and moved under your feet, and we went to use the coffee machine and there wasn’t any pods to put in it to use it so really pointless to have it in the room if your not going to supply them. The hallway floor squinting and cracking noise as people walk on it, the cleaners leave bags and cleaning staff all through the hallways so you have to climb over it or move around it, the overall maintenance of the hotel is lacking and there are rooms at the top that aren’t complete and looks terrible from the out side of the building. The young lady was lovely and polite but as for the older man that works there he was very rude and not helpful at all. The only thing this hotel has going for it is that’s it’s central to everything.

Definitly doesn't deserve the name Hotel, more like a hostel with shared amenitites, tiny rooms and not well working lift/ doors and loud old floors & dirty carpet.
