Room was outdated and needed a good deep clean, one coffee mug and not much toilet paper. Bed was comfy, tv miles too big for the room but the shower was first class

The room itself was pretty dirty. Lots of built up dust underneath furniture and appliances.
The air con worked great, no issues there.
Check-in was straight forward and easy.
The location is great. 3 minute walk from Flinders and ease if access to Melbourne.
It could use a bit of care, but you get what you pay for and it served its function as a short-term stay.
Definitely the second worst mattress and base I’ve ever slept on. Should be sent to landfill immediately. And the room was grotty. Needs a serious deep clean.
Apart from that, staff good, location excellent. They sent a helpful text message, explaining how to get in and where to find the key, way ahead of time.

Room was OK, ample size for 1, bathroom grouting wasn’t as clean as it could be, check-in was seemless and key return obvious, I used the fire stairs to exit once, they were filthy
Seamless check-in and check-out. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. However, the toilet seat was missing, the bathroom exhaust didn’t work and the TV didn’t work. That said, I got the most amazing price. Now I know why! But given the knock down price, I really can’t complain.
Didn't interact with any staff due to a late check-in and very early check-out, but I didn't mind that.
Instructions for after hours check-in were straightforward, and easy to follow, much appreciated!
Room was clean and organised, and I liked the toiletries provided, very useful as I'd forgotten mine for that trip.
Overall, I had no issues, and will very much book here again when staying in the city.

Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was perfect. Building was without hot water on first night of stay but staff had it fixed by the morning. Superficial structural damage to the carpet and doorframe near bathroom left room feeling run down. TV reception was non-functional. No room service was provided, nor did staff inform if such an option was available. More communication in this regard would be appreciated. Due to the unfortunate timing of events during my stay, room prices were far above what one would consider a fair nightly rate, however, at a lower rate, its a fine budget option for a few nights.

The location is great. However, I hope the things in the rooms will be more updated. All are working well, just that the AC was too loud and there was a lingering cigarette smell in the room when we checked in. I would come back but hopefully it’d be better next time.
Very good central location which was convenient but bathroom was mouldy and had small flying insects. The bed and pillow seemed clean and comfortable but the rest of the room was questionable on whether it had been cleaned thoroughly. The towel looked stained which was a bit off-putting. You can hear city noises at night but it subsides after around 11pm. This could be a suitable last-minute or budget option if you won't be spending much time in the room, but it might be worth spending more on a nicer place, especially because of the state of the bathroom.
