We stayed in an executive King room for 3 nights. The room was clean, spacious quiet with excellent amenities including a kitchenette. Location was great, walking distance to the CBD and close to tram stations, theatre, restaurants. The breakfast buffet was very good. We would stay here again when next in Melbourne.
Great hotel. Best buffet breakfast and great gym. Loved the option to skip room refresh for the planet and large bathroom bottles. No single use plastics and no plastic water bottles 💚🙏
