Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel fulfilled our booking request for the rooms, which was great. However, the rooms were not as modern as expected and seemed outdated. The service was excellent overall, though we had minor issues with the garbage not being emptied promptly and a misunderstanding about parking charges. The location was very central and convenient, with easy access to cafes, cinemas, and restaurants. The dining options provided were satisfactory. The hotel facilities were basic but sufficient for our needs.
The hotel is conveniently located near Melbourne University with a small balcony facing a charming lane way from Lygon Street. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable, making it ideal for an extended stay. While the service could be more welcoming, the staff is friendly and helpful. The location offers easy access to shops, cafes, and restaurants, although some areas need modernization. The dining experience is satisfactory with light meals available. Overall, a good value for those looking for a central location in Carlton.
The hotel offers quiet and generally well-equipped rooms, albeit quite warm and hard to cool down. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, guiding guests and offering useful assistance. The location is phenomenal, close to a vibrant area with great dining options. The dining experience offers fresh farm-to-table products. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.
