Happy Canadians

What a great place to stay. Cool candy bar by the elevator! All the staff were happy and informative! So nice to see. The complimentary wine was amazing. The downtown location was perfect for access to all things Melbourne. We loved it so much that we stayed here twice during our visit to Australia.

Girls weekend away

Great location and nice comfortable hotel. 2 bedroom room was spacious for friends trip. Only slight downside we’d requested and hotel had confirmed bedding configuration but then wasn’t correct when we checked in. Was quickly rectified with no inconvenience. Lovely little touches like lollies and chocolates in the room. Perfect weekend getaway. Will definitely stay again.
