Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated close to Lygon St and Sydney Rd, making it perfect for my needs with easy access to the city and tram routes. The place had a pretty well-equipped kitchen, a comfy bed, and convenient parking, offering a pleasant stay. Although there was some traffic noise from the Stranger Street side, it was overall a satisfactory experience.
The hotel is conveniently located near public transport and basic amenities, making it suitable for short stays. The room accommodations were spacious enough for six people with cooking facilities, but the lack of a dining area was a downside. The service was somewhat helpful, with an overpriced tariff partially compensated by a refund at checkout. The location was good for specific events and access to nearby shopping centers, although the kitchen facilities were limited for more than two guests. The dining options were simple, mostly relying on purchases from nearby shops. The carpet condition and facility maintenance needed improvement.
The hotel offers good and clean rooms with basic cooking facilities, though they are rather outdated and small. The staff is helpful and pleasant, but the carpet in some areas could use replacement. The location is great with easy access to shops and pleasant surroundings. The dining options are limited to nearby shops for basic meals. Overall, a decent stay with some areas needing improvement.
