Very small twin share room, it was 2 single beds, seperated by a small bedside table that when you lay in bed you can touch the other person if you are both stretching your arms at the same time

Noisiest place I’ve stayed in Melb in last 20 years. On the 9th floor, unfortunately near the lift so we heard every lift movement. Peoples conversations in adjacent rooms were clearly audible. Noisy people talking in hallway going back and forth. Could hear showers running, toilets flushing and sinks draining in adjacent rooms, sounded like they were in our own room, not next door. Couldn’t fault staff or room cleanliness, but way too noisy.
