8/10 Good
RELJA, Melbourne
21 Dec 2025
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good:
- Stefan is a great host. Staff at reception are great.
- Location is good, very central and close to everything.
- Check-in was pretty easy, straight forward.
- The room was clean, with room service, changing sheets, regularly
- Heated floors in the bathroom, pretty good.
- Room is a bit small (even though it said KING room), but the bed is nice and comfortable, soft.
Things not great:
- Apart from a kettle and some coffee/tea, there are no other amenities, no mini fridge or any other things. Very basic for what it is.
- Shower has no light in there, so it’s dark whilst you shower. There is light in the bathroom, but not in shower, which is strange.
- The actual shower outlet drainage was super blocked. And if your shower water is running too fast, you end up flooding the entire bathroom, because the drain cannot keep up with the speed of the water flow. So you had to be very, very fast, quick and efficient or otherwise you will flood the shower. And the water does go away eventually, but it takes forever.
- On level 3, where I was, it consistently smelt of food, cooking, oil, whatever else went on in the kitchen, its very overpowering and it’s 24/7 the smell throughout the entire level.
- The location and area itself. Whilst it’s central in terms of distance to centre, the actual area itself is very, very foreign and uncomfortable at times, does not make you feel like you’re in Germany. It’s overpopulated by: African, Arab, Middle East and everything else NOT German.
