Mediocre.
Pros:

It was cheap

Cons:

The girl at the front desk was cold and dismissive. Barely looked up from the computer. Customer service is definitely not her forte.

Mauvais rapport qualité, prix et photos mensongères
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

500 $ pour deux nuits, chambre, mal, nettoyée, beaucoup de poussière. Balcon extrêmement sale et aucune vue.
Donc photo, mensongère
Petit déjeuner soi-disant pris dedans, vous avez le choix entre certaines choses à hauteur de 20 $ donc un café et un produit salé et c’est tout

Pros:

Very convenient and good location. Good value for money too.

Cons:

I requested a sofa bed and on check-in was told it needed to be looked into as they didn't believe it was done. So I was given the items to do the bed myself as housekeeping had left for the day. However I got to the room and pulled the bed out and it was made, but it didn't look freshly made, so not sure how long it had been like that for.

I’m excited about brilliantly wonderful and comfortable relaxing stay up at 7 am Melbourne
Pros:

Outstanding hotel and accommodation. Our initial room was actually quite small on level two. I’m disabled and it was a little bit difficult to get around the bed. Once this was mentioned to staff I was upgraded to level four in the hotel with a larger space of ability to move around the bedroom. The staff are absolutely brilliant. And assisting. Fire alarm was activated during our day and the administrator night staff was well organised. The coffee shop, breakfast bar is absolutely sensational and the staff ability from the kitchen and coffee shop provided a brilliance in meals and coffee.

Cons:

The coffee shop come restaurant on the ground floor was sensational as a morning routine prior to leaving the hotel each day and returning. Breakfast meals hot and cold or provided from the kitchen were unbelievable wonderful the staff member on the ground floor who provided dry breakfast and all coffees and teas were absolutely outstanding and should be credited and mentioned for their abilities provided to customers each day

Pros:

Location

Cons:

I strongly do NOT recommend staying at this hotel.

The most unacceptable issue: our room door was left open on 4 separate occasions after housekeeping had been inside, with all of our personal belongings inside. This is a serious security risk. We reported this to the front desk multiple times, yet nothing was properly resolved. This alone is completely unacceptable.

Service and housekeeping were extremely poor:
• 2 staff members entered our room on seperate occasions without knocking on the first morning
• Loud hotel speakers were playing music at 7:00 AM
• The room was never properly cleaned or vacuumed during our entire 8-night stay
• Beds were not consistently made
• We were sometimes left without toilet paper
• Only one set of towels was provided despite being two guests

The gym is also in bad condition. Machines are broken and make loud, unpleasant noises, making it basically unusable.

To make things worse, the fire alarm went off at 3:45 AM, forcing all guests to evacuate the hotel for no serious reason.

The front desk staff were unhelpful, unprofessional, and not solution-oriented.

Overall, this hotel is far below standard for its price.
