No mirror in room and no milk (powered or long life) for tea and coffee in room. Didn’t realise there was no TV in room. Once patrons left hotel it was very quiet. It was great as there was a shared kitchen with washer and dryer as well as iron and ironing board.

After not being able to contact them for a late check-in, they were very apologetic and explained the reasons why. It was more than enough for what I wanted, and the Chapel Street precinct was easily reachable by foot. The train station was even closer. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It is its own night spot tucked away from the business of Chapel Street with a vibrant life of its own.

Staff is nice . It would be great to have hair dryer provided . Hotel still under renovation. The bread block my way out ( see the pic) . Not for bringing luggage as you need to carry them there climb the stairs . There is only one toilet and one shower place for all genders . No central heating . The bed blanket is thin

I liked the historic old building. The little kitchen was very handy. Didn't like all the noise, and didn't like the faulty toilet door catch, ...and didn't like the huge lack of parking.

I liked that the people staying there or backpacking in the area were super nice, also the staff, I asked for an orange juice down at the pub under the hotel, (connected to the hotel) and when I realised I would t get much because of the small cup they said they could just make it a large to say thanks for staying, really would recommend, but the bed being two singles put together makes it hard to sleep in the middle and hog the bed,

The location is convenient, close to train station and central, cheap price. There‘s no parking lot, you have to parking car beside the street and notice parking time. The water getting cold when we took a shower, it’s hard in winter.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bathroom facilities were in poor condition; the shower area was leaking and the toilet seat wasn’t attached on properly. The cleanliness of the bedroom was good, but the bathroom areas were, once again, in poor condition. The hotel has a lounge/bar area that was right below our room so it loud and not a quiet stay, so wouldn’t recommend to those who are looking for a quieter getaway or those who want to be in bed early. The room door for the stay wasn’t closing all the way and had a gap on top of the door which caused conversations to be heard outside from the room, which unfortunately didn’t feel private. There’s no parking on premises but for weekends there’s free on street parking which is nice for a place that’s in the city circle. The only reason I’d give this place a 3/5 and not 2/5 if due to being close to the city and public transport for $80 a night, which seems to be on the lower end.

Cheap nights stay. Room is very clean but depending on how the other guests are the bathroom can be pretty bad. Either they aren't cleaned enough or other guests don't have the courtesy to leave the communal spaces tidy.

I was surprised how nice the room was furnished seeing it was budget accommodation. I loved that a Kettle was available on the room. Location is great and good for a one night stay especially if you are going out in the evening in Melbourne. The only down side was the shared bathrooms could have been cleaner and there was a crack in the floor of the shower cubical l used. Overall a very good value and l will be returning.

A hidden gem for reasonably priced accommodation in a lovely area. The rooms were visibly clean & I think recently upgraded. The bathroom facilities were a little shabby, but for an overnight stay, it was perfect. (Especially if you are attending a function at the hotel). Would definitely stay again.
