We booked this hotel because it was a good price and close to our son's apartment and the previous reviews were quite favourable. When we first saw the hotel admittedly we were a bit apprehensive. The downstairs bar and bistro is not open so windows blackened and obviously empty. We received a text message from the accommodation staff with the... More

I checked this hotel out in March when we knew we'd be arriving from the UK at the same time as our new grandchild, thought then it would 'do'. We arrived to find the upstairs had been completely refurbished and the downstairs bar and bistro should be finished by January. It was room only but when downstairs is done they... More

Who ever said a photograph doesn't lie? The website Pic's looked great. Listed as a boutique hotel I would be more inclined to call it novel. The Bistro was not operational at the time of my stay so essentially it was a bed, shower and a place to change kind of stop. My room was quiet however the whole neighbourhood... More

the place was clean, tidy and conveniently located for a short stroll to train station, the local market (a beauty!!!) and some pretty cool cafe's etc. road noise was a problem in our room, ask for a room on the right side of the hallway should be quieter and better. our aircon wasn't usable as the remote was broken, we...

I went to Melbourne for the tennis but the city was booked out so I stayed here and tbh I had a better time than i thought. Its food was ok if you like pizza, the area seemed a little rough and it was a bit away from the city but there was a train station locally and I do... More

Nice place to stay if you get a good rate.. I would suggest it is like a nice motel that is comfortable and clear with the bonus of having a nice place to eat downstairs...

Inept manager who knows only how to charge one more night's room fee, but doesn't care about losing a long term customer. My husband has stayed at this hotel 6 days almost every month for business for past 3 years. Yesterday, he attempted to check out at 10:45am, but had to pay one additional night because he didn't advise the... More

You enter the hotel from the rear and there are rubbish bins there, makes it a very unpleasant and unwelcome experience. The hotel is located at the street intersection of Geelong road and Victoria. Geelong road is a high traffic road and there are sounds from the trucks, cars, bikes passing by every second, 24 hrs a day. There was... More
