Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
No continental breakfast, tiny room with uncomfortable couch and chairs, bed was okay. The tiny, deck was filthy with view of garbage dumpsters and garbage. TV only had 3 channels and had two small pots to cook in, no pans. Asked staff about frying pan and they had nothing to offer. Decent location but was surprised how dirty the neighborhood was. You get what you pay for. I would look elsewhere unless you just need to sleep somewhere. Inside was clean.

The room we were first given was so small and looked nothing like the pictures online for the room that we booked. They did move us when we said something and they were very good about it too their credit. Location was good but the place looks like it needs alot of work.

This hotel is very convenient to public transport with a Swanston street tram stop virtually out the front door. The beds are good, no sag, I'd estimate reasonably new. The room had a kitchenette with fridge, cook top & microwave. Toaster & electric kettle. Private bathroom, good water pressure, even temperature (no fluctuations). Air Con (not used), TV, two wardrobes and two desks and a small table & chairs to eat at. Odour free. The only issue I had was hearing the receptionist through the perspex screen at check in.

Easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff, clean and quiet room, comfy beds. Only tricky part was the parking - we were unable to gain access and ended up parking elsewhere. Otherwise, great location and fast check-out process - thank you :)

We stayed in the four bedroom apartment. The room and furnishings are older but clean and tidy, a great price and a perfect fit for our group of 8. Within easy walking of numerous pubs, cafes, restaurants and the market, as well as being on the tram line. Would definitely stay again.
