The location was great, quick and easy to get into the city centre via tram or foot. Several good food places are located around the area. Great to have parking available also.
The room was very, uh, 'compact'. Almost all the floor space was taken up by the bed! Could have had a bit more space. I knew the room wasn't huge when I booked, but I have had rooms of a similar grade/price in the past that were just a bit roomier. All good though, still happy with our stay.

location, room is clean, all amenities provided, fresh towels every day, lift access, wifi, parking in basement, no noise from other rooms, large TV in the room, lights can be switched off from the bed, floorboards means that there's less dust.
Room is very small, aircon struggled, very noisy at night as its near a main intersection. The showerscreen style glass bathroom door means that bathroom privacy is limited. A solid door would be better. You have to use intercom for parking access. My spot was fine, but most spots are very cramped. Best to ask for Accessible Parking when booking.

What breakfast l didn't know there was one. It would have been good to have been able to have breakfast before leaving for work.
There was a problem with the air-conditioning.. It was set on the lowest setting it felt like the hottest day in summer. I drank 2 bottles of water that night, my throat was stuck together, l couldn't swallow.. l was dehydrated. I would stay awake for 2 hrs sleep for half hr. I was here for a work event. So l wasn't in the best shape for work. Except for that whole night every thing was exceptional. Breakfast would have been a good option.

I had not stayed at the Hotel before, but it was the closest accommodation to the Union Theatre (University of Melbourne) where I was going to see a performance. While the room was small, for one night it was more than adequate for my purposes. It was well appointed, the TV was a decent size, the bed was comfortable and all the fittings and finishings were modern. It even had a decent-sized vanity (unlike the Arrow down the road). Not big enough for a stay where you need to bring any quantity of luggage but if you are just travelling with a carry-on like I was, it was ideal. The young man on reception was helpful and patient with regard to my hearing impairment.
The room was small, but I 100% anticipated that it would be.

Staff were fantastic and easy to approach, gym facility was excellent and had a very good workout and session myself, bed was pretty comfortable and easy to sleep on, bathroom was perfect and very clean inside.
The TV is pretty outdated with the room I chose and I found it disappointing that I couldn’t use streaming services such as Netflix etc when I needed to spend sometime in my room which I found disappointing, TV remote wasn’t the best as there wasn’t too many buttons to press and seemed useless, there was a bit of some odd stain on my curtain which I thought was strange and didn’t think too much of what it was, the sheets I found to be really tight at time when I needed to pull them up to try and keep warm and was a bit thrown off when there wasn’t much of a sheet protection covering the mattress which seemed lazy and the buttons for the aircon and heater weren’t working which wasn’t ideal when I needed to try and adjust the temperature.

Well appointed compact room with everything needed available. Iron and ironing board easy to see, comfortable bed and no noise from guests in other rooms. Impressive use of space, as the room was small but well put together.
Although no noise in the room from other guests, the lock mechanisms were quite loud, so it was easy to hear when someone entered a room. Also, there was a window but the curtain would not open, which didn't worry me as I was only there overnight, but if staying longer I may have wanted natural light.

- Great location near the city center. - Close to tram connections. - Room and bathroom was generally very clean and matched pictures. - Room well stocked with a minifridge, amenities + hairdryer.
- They don't use Duvet covers (they wrap the duvet up in two sheets instead). I find this extremely odd and very unhygienic. Had to buy a cheap duvet set in the city as the hotel didn't have any covers at all. - Whilst the bathroom was mostly very clean, there was still a fair bit of mould in parts of the shower that I was able to clean up very easily (indicating the cleaners didn't even try to get rid of it)

Andy was very welcoming, friendly and professional. Thanks for the awesome service! Loved the rooms - very clean and the hostel is nice and quiet with a good location close to city centre :)
The sheets/pillow slips weren’t change but Andy took care of it right away and will let the cleaners know about it. He was very professional and helpful about it thanks!

Overall it was a great experience. The room was very clean. An iron and iron board were also provided which was quite useful. Housekeeping was done daily as well. The location is superb if you are visiting University of Melbourne or the institutes nearby. The staff was very kind and helpful.
The room was a bit small. There were not enough windows to enjoy the sunlight.

Comfortable, modern and clean and quiet. Excellent position for us. My daughter was performing at the Melbourne Fringe Festival at Victoria Market and it was only a short walk away. There were also lots of shops and eating places nearby.
The room was a bit smaller than I was expecting. My daughter needed to study during the day but it was ok in the end as she worked in the cubby areas in the foyer area.
