Excellent stay for the price! Very clean, comfortable, modern, great shower, great food, cold beer and in close proximity to the airport. My only concern was parking behind the facility being open to the public and didn't seem very secure for car to be left all night. I will definitely be returning!

Overall not had. Friendly staff, nice and tidy room and great for an overnight stay with a complimentary drink on arrival. Sports bar and bistro down stairs were good as well. A bit of outside street noise but that's to be expected staying in the city. Would return again.

I liked the location as it was close to the airport, however it is also close to the train station, trams and main roads and the noise from all of these can be annoying.

Property was good for what it was. Its basic accom but clean and quiet. Good value if you just want a bed for the night. Had issue with arriving late and when raining. Car park very dark and needed to walk all way around to front of property.

Rooms were clean, spacious and modern, and check in and check out easy. I checked in late and checked out early so didn't have much dealings with the staff. My room faced onto Mount Alexander Rd, and even with the room closed up there was lots of noise throughout the night from traffic and guests leaving the venue.

New place, its very clean and condition is great. Shared bathrooms and toilets seemed new and clean. We requested cleaning in room and it was greatly done. Communal kitchen was also great and clean, just there were no spoons, but plenty fork knives plates and bowls. The location is central to Airport and CBD. There is a bar on ground floor. I'd book again if I come to Melbourne.

Lovely place to stay
Despite the rooms being small the hotel was lovely, the staff were lovely. Super close to transport as well and there was a nice little shared Tea and Coffee area. Rooms were spotless and the beds were really comfortable!
