Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has an excellent design in the rooms, but there were some oversights on service. The location is perfect for shopping, and the dining was lovely though a bit cold at times. The open car parking facility is an additional cost for guests.
The hotel rooms were provided with everything one would need for the stay, albeit a bit cold at times. However, the lack of soap was a downside, requiring the use of shower gel. The service was lacking as staff seemed oblivious to hotel problems and had to refer simple requests to the manager. The location was perfect for easy access to desired places, with lovely dinner options nearby, but slightly removed from the city. The dining experience, while good, lacked variety over a multiple-night stay, with a desire for a cozier ambiance.
The hotel had both ups and downs. The rooms were clean and well-appointed with a lovely city view but lacked proper preparation on amenities. The service was professional, but the dining experience had some issues. The location was convenient for some and not great for others.
The hotel offers very comfortable and clean rooms with great amenities like a washing machine and dishwasher. The massive pole obstructing the view was a downside, but overall, the rooms were well-equipped. The service was friendly and responsive, although some requests needed managerial approval. The location is good for those interested in South Melbourne but may be a bit further from food and drink options. The dining experience was a mix of fantastic dishes and some letdowns. The facilities were well-maintained with modern amenities.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but lacks character in interior styling. The service was marred by staff behavior. However, the location is convenient despite being a bit isolated with few amenities nearby. The dining experience was beautiful and offered value for money.
