Pros: I liked the position and as it was a last minute booking. Literally within an hour of finding it online , booking it, and then walking there. To be treated with such friendliness and minding our bags while we ducked off while the room was being prepared, was great.

Pros: The location, although next time will ask for an apartment overlooking Lygon Street or gardens. Our apartment balcony was level with the rooftop and all the air-conditioning equipment, but for one night this did not bother us. If we stay longer next time would use the balcony and therefore want something other than the rooftop to look at. Otherwise, bathroom spacious, comfortable bed = no complaints...Di (Dianne) Harvey

Pros: Neat and in easy location. Loved the natural light coming through the window.

6.3 Good
Pros:
Cons: Rooms were really small, spa wasn't even big enough for one person, so there was no romantic weekend away. Staff were about as helpful as a hole in the head. Couldn't have been less helpful. Their answer to everything was download the app. When I said I live on the other side of the state I don't want to download the app they just well too, bad I can't help you and put their head in their phones. Just really disappointed.

Pros: Location was great for where we wanted to be and quiet rooms. Spacious. Good internet. Comfortable beds. Room easy to access with code.
Cons: Felt run down and not as fresh and clean as you’d expect. Really worn lounge chair. Kitchen fan felt greasy to touch... Found hairs on the fitted sheet, all of these things didn’t give a super clean impression... Black mould in shower. One of us ended up with some big bites on the skin after our stay - concerned about bed bugs. Whoever runs this should put more care into it, for sure.

Cons: Glasses and kitchenware unclean, lip marks and finger prints on glasses.
5.4 Okay
Pros: The bed linen was clean and the bed comfortable
Cons: There was nowhere to sit and relax in the shoebox sized kitchenette/living area except a table and very uncomfortable chairs. The parking was around the corner at another venue which when carrying luggage is an issue and arriving after hours trying to get in was difficult. The shower grout was black with mould and the door didn't seal so the floor got very wet.

Cons: Possibly a little outdated and furniture was old but that doesn’t bother us as it was clean and we felt safe there.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Nice location, plenty of choices for food nearby.
Cons: The shower drain was clogged up with hair the day I arrived. Had to clean it out for the drain to work. The kitchenette sink spout, where it attached to the benchtop, had a slow leak that would spread across the benchtop overnight. Reported it to the service desk & when I returned later the same evening, it appeared to have been sorted, until I awoke the next morning to find the same issue.

Pros: The locaion
Cons: The size of rooms and the parking is very limited and not free and not at the same location.

Cons: Free internet was available only for the first 24 hours ( or was it 12?)
I hated my room , and the fact that I was not given a choice with regards to what my view would have been . My view was " the garden" which was more like facing another room. Therefore, I could not draw the curtain very much.
Aircond was a bit funny too . The coolest temperature was 23 celsius, so I occasionally sweated it out in the room. Not cool.

5.0 Okay

7.5 Good
Pros: Location and price.
Cons: Inefficient staff at checkin and checkout.
5.4 Okay
Pros: Location is good
Cons: Didn't like been left on hold when making a booking, didn't like waiting 25 min a que to check out, extremely poor variety in the cafe and poor value for money considering service, difficult to get into the car parking, never coming again
5.8 Okay
Pros: Cooking facilities were pretty good
Cons: Staff are rude. Car parking was very confusing. Building backs onto an alley, noisy street noise. Gym is not attached to the hotel
4.6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: 1) the bathroom door was broken and could not be closed. This caused major inconvenience as we were travelling with work colleagues. 2) our room kets did not work TWICE. We had to come down to the lobby to request new keys twice. They said they have given us new ones but it turns out that they just re-allocated another room's key to us. 3) after trying to enter our room numerous times since the cards didn't work, the automatic door ran out of battery and we had to wait for the mechanic to come and replace the door battery. This took 20 minutes. 20 minutes out of our very busy schedules. 4) we were denied check in at first instance because supposedly we didn't have the right ID on us and once we told them that this booking was done by work on our behalf they requested that we show them the card we used to pay. We told them we were unable to since this was a work booking, and we thought showing them our booking.com confirmation was enough. An hour later, after calling the person who booked the trip for us, we were finally allowed into our room. Tip for travellers: prepare the ID or card you used to pay the property with or make sure your name is somehow on the booking!
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Having a gym facility next door to use was great, it's basically the next building over though so ask the front desk staff for directions! Great-looking pool at the same location too, bit cold to use in August though
Cons: Could just be me not turning the dial to the right spot but I found the hotplate took a loooooong time to heat up - frustrating when you're hungry!
4.5 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Housekeeping didn't include towels the first day. The in room phone didn't work so I had to come down to reception to ask for a towel. Almost daily, housekeeping didn't clean up the bins and left empty bottles, neither was kitchenette cleaned.
5.8 Okay
Pros: The location is handy to the city, exhibition building, museum and Queen Victoria Market.
Cons: Beds were tired and bouncy. Bed coverings and pillows were limited. The tv wasn't set up and lacked cabling. Generally room did not seem well kept. No light isolation between rooms and probably little sound insulation.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: The room was big enough, beds and bedding was very comfortable, bathroom towels and facility’s good, great wifi and tv reception, loved the touch card entry, great location for transport and resturants’, shops, and secure parking on premises.
Cons: Would have been nice to have a brush and pan to spot sweep, instruction manual for heating/aircon and tv.
7.5 Good
Pros: Great location.
Cons: The beds and bedding were of very poor quality and not comfortable. It can make such a difference just to have quality bed linen and a decent bed.
