Felt like student accommodation, room was very old and tired and very very basic. Not a place i would recommend anyone visiting Melbourne to use even at the price it was.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great with everything in walking distance. Property is old and the pictures online are not what you get. Positives: Comfy bed, new air con, quiet, new kitchen. Negative: Mouldy, chipped cabinets and old bathroom. Dirty stained carpet. Broken, stained couch & blinds. Walls are chipped, stained. Our room was quiet as it was at the back but it had a view of the car park & loading dock. Hopefully they will continue to do it up as the location and price was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst place we have ever stayed. The room was covered in cockroaches and black mould. The couch had a spring coming through it and when we asked for it to be fixed, they replaced it with one covered in stains. The second bedroom didnt have an external window and smelled on rising damp. When we complained, they offered us their 'best room' that was no better. We have 2 kids and a baby. It was so late we had no option but to stay the first night. The next day we got promised a full refund and we had to move. 6 weeks later and I had to demand expedia return the money as everytime they or we contacted Arrow on Swanston St, we were told the manager was not there to process the refund. Do not believe the pictures. This place is truly horrific.
