Great spot to crash after a concert, however it is very basic. Definitely a few issues with the room such as the bathroom ventilation, old pipes and lack of power of mini fridge, however for one night it is fine. Probably wouldn’t be great for more than a one night stay.

Disliked: The bathroom was not well ventilated, and they don’t provide a foot mat in the bathroom (so it gets very wet). The mini fridge is also very weak in power.

Location is great

Liked: Location was great, good transport links close by - Central Station, Metro and trams, all on the doorstep. Chinatown/Haymarket has so many eatries and bars and open till late.
Disliked: Garbage trucks and construction site noise, very early in the morning.

Very good

Liked: Room and location were lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful
Disliked: The parking was convenient and well priced, but it took a lot of back and forth with reception for us to be able to get into our parking space. There was no way to let them know before we arrived that we would like a space if one was available. There was nowhere to park while we checked with reception when we arrived if parking was available. The intercom didn't work and when we were finally able to get into the parking station there was a padlocked chain across our parking space. I am sure there must be a better way of arranging this.

An oldy but goody

Liked: Spacious clean room. Very large with good cupboard space and a fridge, microwave and tea and coffee facilities.
Disliked: The curtains hung on your head when you sat up in bed. There wasn't a great deal of pressure in hand held shower
