Had a room that was letting in some noise from the backpackers, but the manager kindly arranged a swap to a quiet room. It's not 5 star, but doesn't claim to be, and is spacious and clean. It has...

We booked 1 night in a "Deluxe" room on Anzac Day. After getting a graveyard Tiger flight from Perth overnight, we arrived about 7am hoping to just drop our bags off and check-in at 2pm, however the front desk attendant said she had a room ready and that it would be no problem for us to check-in then and there....

Dear dbubblez I must say that this is very puzzling as we have processes and procedures in place that ensure this does not happen. This is the first I’m hearing of this and I will be contacting you directly via private message to investigate the matter further. I look forward to speaking with you.

I stayed there for five nights on my own. I felt very safe and found the room better than expected. I stayed in a Deluxe with King size bed. It was a large room, very quiet, no street noise. There was some noise from other rooms at times, not enough to bother me or keep me awake at night. The... More

Went to Melbourne for a funeral but needed some extra room to organise things in the couch/table area, so we got a one bedroom apartment. Couldn't see pictures of the normal 1 bedroom apartment on any websites (only the deluxe 1 bedroom apartment) but took a gamble and picked it. Room had a bit of space, strangely triangle shaped though.... More

The hotel is in the suburb of St.Kilda. A bit out of the city but in a nice young environment. If you have a car, there is a free parking, otherwise the bus (externally operated) to the airport is very expensive 16$ per person. To the center there is the city tram. The hotel is clean and simple. Good for... More

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Must say staff were super helpful and friendly. Nice room. Clean. Perfect location. Our one negative was when we had to cancel our 3rd night the evening before and were charged for it (couple of hours passed the "deadline" for 24 hour cancellation)- petty and unfortunate way to end a lovely stay.
