The hotel is situated conveniently close to Southern Cross Railway Station for easy access to and from the airport. The rooms, while lacking ample electric points, are suitable for both young and old guests attending events. Navigating to the rooms can be tedious due to the corridor layout without a lift.

The hotel is in a convenient location in Melbourne, perfect for exploring the city and public transport access. The rooms, although clean and recently renovated, were too small and stuffy due to noisy air conditioning units. The service was exceptional, with helpful and accommodating staff.

The hotel's rooms looked nothing like the photos, feeling claustrophobic with dirty walls; however, they were neat, tidy, and had everything we needed. The service was helpful but with a minor issue with the toilet seat. The location was great for accessing Melbourne's attractions but super noisy. The dining experience was minimal, lacking variety, and staff struggled to serve. The facilities were basic but functional.
