Cassandra Skye

Traveled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Check in was fine, wasn’t informed that I would be staying in their other building. Made it to the room and the property seemed fine, then started noticing that the doors and some walls had holes in them. One of the rooms had a Lower window that little kids could open and then climb onto the aircon and fall to their death. The fridge didn’t work and there was a washer and dryer in the apartment, but wasn’t allowed to use. The beds felt like I was sleeping on boards. The price I paid I was expected more especially if they are asking for a 100 dollar damage hold..

Terrible room advertised as near and clean when we arrived room was not taken care of or properly cleaned, wouldn’t let me switch rooms. Honestly a backpackers hostel is cleaner and cheaper than staying in this “3 star” hotel Will not definitely coming back.

Liked: Cleanliness
it is a unique hotel. Basic but good. clean and comfortable. don't expect great TV and channels etc but has excellent internet. My room had patchy Air Con and other issues which they did try and fix. i was there 10 days. Tram Stop RIGHT OUT FRONT. So pretty brainless. 2 stops from Melb Central. Lots and lots of food options and coles etc to stock up for self catering. *** laundry good but you need your own washing powder!

Paid for a Delux 2br & it was nothing like the photos so presume we were given a standard. 2br was supposed to have a twin bed but it was single. Room smelled like mothballs & 1 guest was gagging from the smell.
