Stay was good. Only thing was be careful with the parking as there are 2 wilson carparks near each other. Make sure you get the right one. Brekky was ok, not great. Other than that it was a good place to stay.

Our room was located directly behind the lifts so could hear it constantly going up and down through out the night when trying to sleep. Saw spider and ants in bathroom on arrival day. But the hotel is in ideal location at door step of China town, Bourke St. mall and tram at street intersection to get around the city for free. There was a long line up to check in and out with only one staff member at reception desk working

Have stayed before with a positive experience, however this stay was disappointing. The heater in my room was broken and blowing out cold air, it was a cold winters day and I was freezing. It took over 2.5 hours and multiple contacts with reception to have this attended to, and ultimately led to me moving rooms. I was disappointed in how long it took to be listened to. In my new room, the hot water tap in the shower was falling off, but at this stage I was just happy to have a working heater, so I made it work. On a positive, the room was very dark and good for sleeping.

We liked how close the hotel was to everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy when people were in the hallways or when the garbage bins were emptied, but would recommend this place to others. The buffet breakfast was also great.

This hotel was in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, only a block from China town, and a block to H&M. The parking is around a block and a half away, and is $24 per 24 hours. Hotel was safe, and secure. Staff were lovely and very helpful.

Good central location close to public transport, friendly, helpfully staff. Only complaint would be the coffee machine at breakfast which uses powdered milk which means lacklustre coffee from a city that is well know for this beverage, second day paid for barista coffee at breakfast.

The position was fantastic. Breakfast was very good. However we pre payed our breakfast the message to that effect didn’t to the restaurant. So every morning the same ritual of explaining that we paid. We stayed there for 5 nights. Room was not serviced once! We called for fresh towels and guess what? The phone was either not answered or engaged. So we raided the housemaid’s trolley. The deceased owner Les Erdi (RIP) would turn in his grave to see what happened to his Hotel.
