Good hotel for Central Melbourne

This is a good hotel for Central Melbourne. It is a 5 min walk from Southern Cross station. It's very convenient for food and transportation. The rooms are comfortable. Service in the hotel was good, and the price was very reasonable. I would stay here again.

Comfortable -great location

I've stayed at this hotel for a few trips now and it's my first go to when I'm travelling to Melbourne. Staff are friendly and very helpful. When there was a city wide blackout and my phone was on 10% battery they offered to charge it on a personal charge bank for me which helped a lot.

Three Days in Melbourne

Easy walking distance from Southern Cross station and arrival in Melbourne by Airbus from airport. Tram stops nearby. At edge of CBD but all walkable. Close to South Wharf district too. Some building work going on. Room on small side for a double but comfortable and a large walk-in shower/bathroom. Did not eat in onsite cafe-bar so cannot comment on quality. WiFi good.

The room doesn’t get cleaned. A lot dust one the self and table. Doesn’t vacuum the floor. The faucet blast the water in the very small bathroom and your clothes. The shower wall and floor is slippy. Feels like no cleaning at all.
