Over all very good. Excellent location, so close to Southbank, the NGV & Lightscape. Lovely staff.
Pros:

The King room was spacious and comfortable. Very good breakfast with lots of options. Sour dough bread would have been good though as I can't eat yeast, but I was happy to go without.

Cons:

There were no extra blankets in the room, which left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Also no flat sheet.
