    We bought our own alcoholic drinks at Duncan's on Elizabeth St and somehow the housekeeping staff thought we'd used a beer from their supply in the bar fridge. Landed on our room bill, got it removed.

    Location was great, buffet breakfast options, coffee was fantastic

    Would be good to have a lounge area away from the main bar, but that’s only a minor point.

    Excellent location in the heart of the city. Personally I would have preferred the tourist info / brochures in the main reception area rather than in the ground floor entranceway. Breakfast choice was good and staff always very friendly.

    Reception struggled to understand payment request, I wanted to use debit card, had to transfer money onto a credit card at reception to pay. When asking “can I use debit card, she acted like a credit card is a debit card. House keeping was very late in the afternoon, one day we got missed. 5 nights no new bed linen. Drinking equipment washed in bathroom, felt unpleasant, also no detergent used. Only one cup, provided. Window view was air conditioning ducts, was hoping to enjoy city lights at night. I hope all this information helps.

    Location.

    There was a strange smell coming through the ventilation at times. It didn't last though.

    Great spot when seeing a show at the Regent. 2 min walk. Comfy beds, bar and restaurant on site. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

    The main bed wasn't very comfortable and the sofa bed was very uncomfortable. The bed lamps didn't work and neither did the floor lamp.

    The hotel has a very good location, the room has a good size and the breakfast is good.

    I hadn't realised it was a mainly 'working person overnighter' hotel and I expressed surprise when I was charged a refundable fee in case I used bar facilities or something - The customer service person next to mine - ie an eavesdropper -interrupted and actually argued with me!! I had only commented in surprise - I have been in many hotels in Europe but none in Australia - I didn't particularly care about the charge it simply took me by surprise and I was half laughing but this women took it as a major criticism which I thought was a bit unprofessional There was some sort of massive air conditioning unit in the hall outside the door of my room which was excessively noisy and made it hard to get to sleep but considering it was an inexpensive room I guess it was par for the course

    I loved the room with the view over Collins Street It was good value for money and the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean The hotel was not too far from NGV , had a late checkout and was close to the arcades for a nice breakfast
