Travelled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The split system in the room had holes beside it in the wall, which needed to be patched from a previous A/C being removed. Bedside lamp (globe) was not working and hadn't been replaced. There was mould more than half way up the shower. A pillow had a gross mark on it, like something had been spilt on it. Light globe above the bed was not working. I was denied a refund after I had paid for two night parking, and one of those nights my car was at the mechanics and the car space was not used, and the shower "screams" when it is turned on. All in all, I would not recommend staying at this hotel

It would be greatly appreciated if they cleaned the room on third stay as advertised. If only staff have read or stay at reception, they would received my request on late arrival and replied soon via email if unreachable. Spare room is alternate solution but knowing theres major fault it will be great for a better substitute like room upgrade or refund a night. Location wise it’s very accessible for tram station. I shall rate 50-50.

Felt like student accommodation, room was very old and tired and very very basic. Not a place i would recommend anyone visiting Melbourne to use even at the price it was.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great with everything in walking distance. Property is old and the pictures online are not what you get. Positives: Comfy bed, new air con, quiet, new kitchen. Negative: Mouldy, chipped cabinets and old bathroom. Dirty stained carpet. Broken, stained couch & blinds. Walls are chipped, stained. Our room was quiet as it was at the back but it had a view of the car park & loading dock. Hopefully they will continue to do it up as the location and price was great.

This was the worst place we have ever stayed. The room was covered in cockroaches and black mould. The couch had a spring coming through it and when we asked for it to be fixed, they replaced it with one covered in stains. The second bedroom didnt have an external window and smelled on rising damp. When we complained, they offered us their 'best room' that was no better. We have 2 kids and a baby. It was so late we had no option but to stay the first night. The next day we got promised a full refund and we had to move. 6 weeks later and I had to demand expedia return the money as everytime they or we contacted Arrow on Swanston St, we were told the manager was not there to process the refund. Do not believe the pictures. This place is truly horrific.
