I have rated the 'view' low only because it was just looking into other hotel accommodation however it did not bother me as I just needed a clean, comfortable room to stay in, which is what it was. So very happy! Thanks Arrow on Swanson would recommend over the Ibis on Swanson.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“The reception staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The staff explained everything we needed to know about our stay. Great Location. Parking was very easy. Bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend and will certainly stay here again”

GarryRol

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 and Daniel

Australia

“Friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Amenities were good. Well equipped kitchenette. Very comfortable bed.”

눉The building is a maze, after finding the car park and going to the level as instructed only to find you cant access the room from that elevator, needed to leave that building go down half a block and then back into another building then to level 4.... For a 2 bedroom apartment there was little to no room to move.
