Thank you for having us stay with you. Holding our luggage on both arrival and departure allowed us to venture off and e
Pros:

Location was ideal, in the heart of Melbourne CBD. An easy walk to everything. Tram stop out the front will take you anywhere.
We stayed on the 9th floor with our room overlooking Collins Street below.

Cons:

They were having problems with a couple of their lifts being out of order, it didn’t slow us down too much.

Location great, hotel did not meet expectations for price.
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Hotle facilities were poor. Spa not working, elevators not working causing long wait times. Stairs were difficult to use, being 10 floors up. Had a discrepancy with booking and staff were not helpful with what was clearly a small mix up with Booking.com. Buffet breakfast was simple.

Great location, ageing facilities.
Pros:

Location. Room was clean. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There was only one lift working for the whole building which meant long waits for lift or taking stairs. The phone in our room didn't work. The foxtel channels didn't work. We called for help but neither could be fixed. The spa was also not working. The shower head also not working properly.
