Great location, nice little room for me and my partner. Value for money. Would recommend

Travelbug, Australia

Very central - 10min walk to the Melbourne Museum, 5min to the markets, and a tram line right in front of the hotel. We had a 2 bedrooms apartment, and whilst one of the bedrooms was small, it was very comfortable. Hot shower, clean kitchen. It's on the small side, but seeing we only ever were there to sleep, it didn't matter and did the job well

Krystel, Australia

Loved how close is was to walk to fantastic eateries on lygon street brilliant location and the free connection shuttle to the airport skybus was a great extra perk and to top it off the queen vic market only a stone throw away!

Justine, Australia

Good location very convenient to City and Victoria Market, tram stop in front of Arrow, room is clean and big. Friendly Staffs

Yet, Australia

Nice, clean hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great hotel for what we needed.

Alana, Australia

Good location and very close to public transport. Rooms clean and a kitchenette was a great option. Great staff.

Melissa, Australia

Staff were very friendly. They can keep your bags for free before and after booking. Lifts are very secure, only people with keycard can access.

Muhamad, Malaysia

Modern, comfortable room with a great view. Fantastic facilities for the price and addons like wifi were affordable.

Myles, Australia

Rob, Australia

“Lack of service”

- • One-Bedroom Apartment with Sofa Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We were not informed that the car park was closed due to construction works until we arrived on site. Had to pay for street parking until it reopened. Front office offered free parking for 1 day which we accepted. When we got to our room, we saw a note on the floor that notified us of no watet usuage on one of the days which we were staying. Again, no formal communication at check in or prior knowledge through email. Very unprofessional and poor service, most probably will choose a hotel instead next time round in Melbourne.

눉Onsite parking however due to building works I was unable to get the car out during the day but had not been informed. No area for short term park at the front due to bike lane and trams so a difficult place to check in and out. Room very small and minimal with kitchen and supplies.

눉Location is meh. 10 minute walk from Melbourne Central. Dingey place though. Feels dirty. View was of an even dirtier laneway with rubbish and looking straight into private appartments. All this and it was overpriced as well.
눇Nothing in particular. Room wasn't ready at 1:20pm which is rather odd but was able to check in at 2.

눉The beds weren't very comfortable. We booked for three people and there was a futon disguised as a bed instead of a single bed like we had requested. I was also not told about a security deposit of $50 being required even though I had already paid for the motel.
