About

The hotel offers straightforward rooms with private or shared bathroom options, a sitting area, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV in each. Paid Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
Its position is the main draw: about 1.5 km from the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the train station and tram stops nearby, plus a bakery, supermarket, and a relaxed cafe scene within walking distance.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Paid Wi-Fi only — Unlike many hotels, Wi-Fi is not free — a cost to factor into your stay.

- Dark hallways and basic lighting — One guest noted dark, dingy hallways and found room lighting could be brighter.
- Continental breakfast only — Breakfast is continental style, not a hot breakfast — guests who expect a cooked spread may be underwhelmed.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for leisure travellers.

8.3Verified guest“Staff were good. It's a 3-star hotel, but the room was comfortable and warm, breakfast fine. Hallways a bit dark and dingy, and room lighting could be better. Would stay again though.”
8.3Verified guest“Breakfast had lots of choice (porridge, bread, Nutella, jam, fresh fruit) and was topped up until the end. Location great near the botanical garden and a relaxed cafe scene — we almost preferred it to the city centre.”
