Pros:

Property was close and convenient to the Eye & Ear Hospital, which was why we were in Melbourne for the night. Booking online was very convenient, and we were upgraded to a King Triple which was very lovely of them.

Great location at a budget friendly price
Pros:

Great location to be central to theatre district, Chinatown and lots of restaurants. The staff were super friendly, the room was lovely and clean and had everything in good working order. I loved that I could open windows and get some fresh air, that there was a bath and the little kitchen was perfect for heat and eat meals.

Cons:

Being on the 2nd floor, the 5.30am bin truck every morning was a rude awakening!
