Comfortable, conveniently located to everything, particularly the theatre district and great food and clean. Loved it
Pros:

Comfortable, excellent bed and clean. Good facilities and great location. Staff were onsite 24 hours and made everything easy and there’s a coffee machine

Cons:

Apparently Sunday night is garbage collection night in the city and that was a little loud and disruptive at 3am when I was trying to sleep. Not the hotel’s fault.

Another great stay at City Limits
Pros:

Friendly staff. Great location with trams on Bourke just through the laneway & City circle tram at Parliament. Coffee machine & cold filtered water in lobby. Comfortable beds & pillows. Good value in Melbourne CBD. Lovely wash & body moisture products.

Cons:

One single bed had a king sized doona folded in half- was WAY to hot with, to cold with nothing - had to unfold & then it was cumbersome hanging on floor

A great stay
Pros:

The location is excellent. When the windows are closed it really sound proofs the room so you dont get a lot of noise from outside. The rooms are A/C'd. The room was much bigger than expected. We had tonnes of space. The staff working there were really lovely, friendly and helpful.
