Lovely large room with comfy big bed. Jacuzzi bath, small but functional kitchenette, big fridge and freezer, desk, seating and dining area, small balcony. Will stay again but will request a room not looking straight at the bedrooms in the neighbouring block. Very easy to walk everywhere, Fawkner Park, Albert Park, Botanical Gardens, Shrine of Remembrance all a 5-15 min walk, even all the way to St Kilda Beach in one direction and Fed Square and on to Bourke the other was under 40 mins. Staff really friendly and super helpful. There is no bar or food service at the hotel, and not a huge amount in the immediate area at night and no proper supermarket nearby; but, it’s easy getting in and out of the eating areas. There is no gym and no pool, which would make it even better if they did.

Our stay here for The Eras Tour was perfect! The staff were all so friendly and assisted us whenever we needed. My teenage girls felt comfortable and the room was so spacious. Mr Percival Cafe was delicious for breakfast too just around the corner. One thing I will say is confirm booking directly with hotel. The property went above and beyond for me and it all worked out ok but during a weekend where almost every hotel in Melbourne was fully booked, it could have been a different story. Also first night was direct debited when this app said pay at property.

Very close to tram and 2 cafes. While it is about 6 stops outside of CBD, I still found the location convenient. Staff were excellent. Room was very spacious and lovely.
