The hotel room was clean and tastefully decorated, although the blanket didn't have a cover, it was spacious and had all the essentials. The service was lacking enthusiasm and care, especially during interaction at check-in and check-out. The location was convenient with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. The dining experience offered fresh and plentiful choices, but the quality could be improved. Overall, good value for a modern and comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although spacious and well-appointed, had a noticeable damp and moldy smell. The service was friendly but lacked efficiency in handling requests. On the bright side, the location was perfect for quick city access, though it couldn't fully compensate for room quality issues.

The hotel is conveniently located near the tram stop, just a few minutes away from the CBD. The rooms were average, but could use some minor fixes, and were a bit small. The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was good but slightly overpriced. The location was fantastic for business purposes, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to Melbourne's attractions and dining spots, although there was a slight musty smell in the vicinity. The rooms, while lacking views, offered a decent stay with clean albeit tired decor. The service was a bit disorganized with staff struggling to accommodate guests, but eventually resolved the overbooking issue. The hotel's proximity to cafés, restaurants, and CBD makes it a desirable spot for travelers.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was all to myself, but it appeared a bit older compared to other places we've stayed at before. The service, especially for unusual hour arrivals, was really switched on and attentive. The location was convenient for my business trip, although a bit far from the town. The dining options were good, especially the custom-made omelets, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is situated in a great location, just two blocks from Lygon St restaurants, and the tram to Fed Square/Flinders St Station stops right outside. The rooms were not properly serviced, with a dusty and stale smell. The service, while initially not the nicest, eventually became helpful and accommodating. The dining experience was a mix of disappointing and outstanding, and the overall facilities were decent.

My daughter and I had a convenient stay at this hotel after our visit to the Ministry of Dance. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the pool and spa were great for relaxing. However, the room wasn't ready until 3 pm, and there was a bad smell with the blanket missing a cover, only having two sheets to sandwich it in.

The hotel offers large and very clean rooms with great beds and pillows, although the overall condition seems outdated. The service is friendly and engaging, with staff dedicated to ensuring a welcoming experience. The location is excellent, close to various attractions including Melbourne University and dining options along Lygon Street. The dining experience is satisfactory but lacks diverse gluten-free options. Overall, a comfortable and clean stay with some room for improvement.
