This hotel has automatic check in kiosks, but good service if required. The lifts can be very busy to get to your room, however we found the room quiete and well soundproofed. our room was directly opposite the lifts, hoever the sound from outside or suitcases in the hallways was minimal. the bathroom was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfy. location is superb. I would stay here again.

It was an extremely convenient location. We had city views, which were lovely. Very quiet. Couldn't hear any outside traffic at all. Unsure about the room cleanliness. There was hair on the roof in the bathroom, and marks on the wall that looked suspicious... Room was spacious, and bed was fairly comfy. One of the lights had a strobe-like flicker, which was a little alarming. Video included. No issues with service because you check-in yourself on a screen in the lobby, so no need to interact with anyone. You drop your room key in a box when leaving. There's a Cafe and toilets in the lobby, and comfy couches. Taxis hovering outside. The room was very cheap (160) considering how close it is to Melbourne cbd.

It gets 1 star as the location is great. This however is no way a 4 star hotel. It’s a budget hotel at 5 star prices. $300 a night. No working aircon. No pool. No toiletries what do ever and no room service to room. Blackout blinds aren’t completely blacked out. Bathroom is very dated as is the whole hotel. No bath at any rooms. And the tiles and shower need replacing. Housekeeping is hit and miss. Also we asked for an extra duvet as the kids were sharing. We were told by the manger they didn’t have one duvet and he couldn’t carry an ice bucket and blanket! He needed me to collect from reception. The main issue was the unbearable heat in the room. We could not sleep at all which key to my special needs child having a health issue they needed an ambulance called. Finally on the last day just before we were due to leave. Maintenance came and looked at the aircon and said as we knew it wasn’t working! It wasn’t cooling down. :-( There is no tea towel or cloth to wipe the small kitchen bench/sink. The no toiletries was an issue as well. Not an enjoyable stay. :-(
