Amazing! We will come back next time in Melbourne.
Pros:

Location location location!!! Set in the heart of the City down a small lane, close to all the shops and still very quiet. Room was immaculate, well set up and super comfy beds.

Cons:

More hooks/towel racks would have been handy in the bathroom.

Pros:

The location is excellent. You are in the centre of town, just off one of its busier streets. But any noise was acceptable, though there wasn't much

Cons:

Nothing particularly.

Weekend away
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, close to everything in the city or trams to get to other ares of Melbourne. The room was very comfortable and suitable for what we needed. Parking was available via the Divi app. Coffee shop downstairs with beautiful pastries and coffee.

Cons:

the lighting in the bathroom. They don't provide ice, has to come from another property therefore we didnt take up the option as it was just too hard. Parking has to be booked by you via an app.

Pros:

The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city, near train stations and excellent restaurants. The room was very clean and was how it appeared in photos. The bed was comfy, and the shower water pressure was amazing.

Cons:

The shower leaked slightly into the main area of the bathroom, leaving a puddle after the shower that overwhelmed the provided bathmat.

Pros:

Excellent location

Cons:

Corner King room was not worth the price & is right opposite the lifts + the cleaners room next door so dont expect to sleep in due to noise in the morning.
The sofa is squished on one side with a TV in front of it but there's already a massive TV on the wall in front of the bed. It was completely pointless.
Also, the TV's kept not working & needed to be reset.
