Both times i stayed here and booked the same room, the rooms have been completely different. They have both been noisy, loud and unclean. There is also an unbearable AC condenser just outside the window that drones constantly, loud enough that I needed to buy earplugs to sleep. I’ve stayed at a lot of budget motels recently but you can get better in the city for less.

It had a central location, was cheap for Melbourne and turns out there was a reason why. I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone. The reception desk is open from 9am-5pm. Getting there at 5.30pm meant I had to self checkin, at the same time as another person. It was very uncomfortable.

Arrived early so decided to see if we could drop bags off and check in later - reception was unattended so rang the number listed to call and waited for a return call - we are still waiting for that return call over 3 days later! When we did check in the guy at reception was efficient and friendly and explained the after hours entrance. The lift was new looking and working well - unlike the other 2 lifts that were signed as not in use! The corridor was old and worn out. The room was smaller than it looked on the photos (family room with queen bed and 2 single beds). There was a funny old smoke smell in the bathroom which appeared to have been cleaned, but in need of an update and a deep clean once in a while. The window to the room overlooked the worksite of the metro tunnel works, where they do seem to work most of the night and from early in the morning. Which would not have been so bad if the window was able to be closed better and could have stopped some of the noise. The beds were comfortable enough to sleep on and clean. Air-co kept the room cool, however was on the noisey side, which as a plus did block out some of the construction noise!! This hotel is in a great position, close to Flinders Street Station, Federation Square and everything else in the CBD. So in summary, if you want a hotel in the middle of the city and do not need all the luxuries but just a place to sleep then this may just be it. If you are looking for luxury then this is not your hotel.

Hotel is very central to everything in Melb CBD with tram stop right outside. Check in quick and pleasant. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Yes, a little in need of extra cleaning of walls & windows, bathroom grout but l've seen worse in private homes. Linen very good and general surfaces were clean. Bed very comfortable. For price l wouldn't ask for/expect anything more. You pay more for dirt camping spot, where you provide everything and share toilets, so don't know what people are complaining about.

All The Convenience
The stay was easy. It wasn’t anything flash but it was clean with a big bathroom and a queen sized bed, pillows could have been better but that’s not that different to most places. The location was super convenient right next to a convenience store and McDonalds. It was also with a 2 minute walk of Flinders Street Station and about a minute from the nearest tram on Collins Street and 2-3 minutes to Bourke Street. Access was easy, even after arriving after the reception was closed as the hotel gave me very clear instructions on how to enter the property and get my keys from the safe. If you just want a room to stay in and a good sized bathroom in an extremely convenient location, this is the place.
