The hotel is clean. And it is near to restaurants, shopping places, and the train station. Hotel staffs are very helpful. I arrived very early to hotel (4am). And they allowed me to check-in early once my room was available - at 7am.

I was pleased to find that our room is big with two twin beds and each seems like a super single (can probably fit in two people nicely). The beds are very comfy and well equipped with many pillows. The only con is that after cleaning, the cleaning lady usually misplace my pillows and puts them all on my friend's... More

My wife and I enjoyed staying at your hotel. The location is excellent by being in the centre of the CBD. The breakfasts were good value and the dinner at night was the same. We will definately recommend this hotel to our family and friends and the next time we come to Melbourne we hope to be able to stay... More

Great location but the place feels a little tired. Our King suite had a bedroom that was only just large enough for the bed and felt cramped with an odd shaped larger lounge area. Service was OK especially concierge but passwords for internet were not given and I had to chase them up despite having it as part of the... More

The hotel is in a great location, right in the centre of the CBD, next to great Chinatown restaurants, central and flinders st train stations.

Nothing outstanding in service, we didn't really have anything to... More

A great place to stay, but impossible to get to by car! We ended up returning our hire car to Franklin Street and getting a taxi to the hotel, as we couldn't get close due to one way systems and trams. We also had trouble getting a taxi to Southern Cross Station when we left early in the morning, and... More

I stayed with my Mum for Mothers Day and it was the perfect location. As my Mum has a few mobility issues the location was perfect spot for CBD shopping with a tram right at the front door, giving us easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. Our twin room consisted of 2 double beds in a... More

We took advantage of a good special for this hotel. Location in the middle of Melbourne CBD right near Chinatown was great. Easy walk to Fed Square, Queen Victoria Markets, shops, restaurants. Excellent public transport in Melbourne with trams outside the front door. The king superior room we had was spacious with a living room and bedroom. My only complaint... More
