A huge thank you to the staff for fixing the issue of one bed for parents and their 17 year old daughter and moving us into a two bed room with no fuss. For accommodating my disability parking on our third and final night. The staff are wonderful. Location is great, would like a little more privacy in the bathroom but we got by. Vibrant area and would absolutely stay again if returning to the area. Thank you for all your help and consideration.

Stayed there for 4D/3N the hotel is located at one of the most happening areas. Everything is nearby, the check-in experience was smooth. Staff was very professional and friendly. Rooms were big and in pristine condition. The bathroom though needed a little bit more privacy by adding sliding curtains, etc. Overall a great experience will definitely recommend others as well.

While the hotel was inviting, interesting decor and bed was fine, it was clear the designers were more interested in the look of things than their actual function. For instance, the bedside tables had lamps on them that took up the whole table top, leaving no room for a cup/book/phone etc. the bathroom walls and door were transparent, offering zero privacy (not great in a twin room! Thank God i wasn’t travelling with a work colleague!!) Stove top would have been handy, but no room to prep (and you’d probably set fire to the other appliances). TVs were set up to watch from bed, but couldn’t be viewed from the couch… The list goes on. It was an experience, but not really practical. Don’t lose sight of why people actually stay in a hotel!

Loved the room. Simple, elegant, comfortable and the art work really adds another layer to the experience. The staff were just wonderful! - incredibly helpful. The location is great - a tram ride away from Melbourne central if you need. Lots to see and close by. This I’ll be my go to from now when I’m in Melbourne.
