Very convenient location with shopping malls and restaurants right next to it. However, it can be a bit of a nuisance if you prefer peace and quietness. The interior is quite tired, a bit uplift can do its good. Room are quite small. Staff are nice and friendly.

A very convenient location. Inside the hotel room was good. I recommend it. I didn't use the restaurant as there are plenty of eating options right nearby. There were only two issues. First, the water leaks out of the shower screen onto the floor when you take a shower in my room. There is a 5mm gap between the screen and the door. The shower is strong and good but it leaks. The second issue was that the curtain rail was damaged. This was minor, however, but it needs to be fixed before someone accidentally pulls down the curtain when trying to shut it! Considering that the room is only cleaned every three days, it would probably be better too if the bin in the room were a little bigger.

The room was much smaller than it appeared on the hotel website. Soundproofing between the walls could be improved We had to complain to reception on one night due to the loud voices from the adjoining room. However this was acted on immediately by staff and the noise ceased. Breakfast was good - variety and the staff excellent.

Central location

Very convenient location, central to everything i needed. One lift was out of order most of my 4 night stay, causing delays with just one lift operating. Have stayed before when it was the Welcome Hotel. Would recommend and stay again.

The self service check in was a bit "weird" at first, but actually was quite quick and easy. The bed was excellent. If you like a harder more supportive mattress, this is the place for you. That and it was larger than most King beds and I got a great night sleep. Would recommend and would return.

Hotel was what it was … I booked a standard room - as a single traveller it suited my purposes for two nights. Walks are paper thin so you get to join in next rooms’ conversations. Nothing in the hotel appeared to be open but not a problem. Was disappointed to be told no late check out available even with a fee while I was able to book two rooms immediately in Expedia - was told Expedia often oversell rooms … first that has ever happened … apart from that inconvenience a great location if you like food and shopping …

This is our usual go-to choice when staying in Melbourne (2x Adults with 1x Child). But their recent change of only servicing your room every three days means that a weekend away will not allow you to experience a 'new room' feeling when arriving back from your daily travels. This is making me feel like we stayed in a Motel rather than a CBD Hotel.
