The location is the convenience, not too far from cbd (out of free zone tram) but easy to access to places like Lune and Melbourne museum.

Nguyen Australia

Comfortable bed, great location right near Lygon St. Excellent stay - thank you!

Susan Australia

Helen, the receptionist, when we checked in was extremely pleasant and helpful. And advised where the restaurants were.

Stephen Australia

Great location just off Lygon Street. The room was clean and comfortable. We booked here at extremely short notice at 10:30 PM. Great that reception was still open. The staff were friendly and we had no complaints. My wife left a dress in the cupboard and they mailed it back.

Peter Australia

The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly in spite of the COVID 19 lockdown. Helped me out with a few brekky things as the restaurant was still closed. Room was cosy, comfortable and quiet.

Marcel Australia

Location wise is pretty good! It’s close to all the nice cafes within walking distance.

Kidsada Thailand

I really appreciated the receptionist Shannon who gave me a very warm welcome and a lot of information. Thank you

Sabine United States of America

Reasonably priced room right near several landmarks, shopping and eating districts, and the local tram line. The room was comfortable and nothing was out of place, broken, or needing to be replaced. Breakfast was good, but over priced.

Ned United States of America

Just love this hotel! Close to Lygon Street restaurants, the city and main arterials out of town. The staff are superb, very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely stay again.

Eileen Australia

Easy to get to, close to the event we were attending

  • Do you have onsite parking? If so, is there a fee attached?
    Hi, yes we have parking underneath the hotel in a secure parking structure. Parking is $20per night.
    Answered on March 4, 2020
  • Policy is there a security deposit?
    Thank you for your enquiry. Credit Card pre-authorisation may be required on arrival. A Pre-authorisation is a freezing of funds for security, which depending on your financial institution may be held for up to and including 7 business days. This is not a charge to your card and is used to secure for the room and any incidentals incurred during your stay. You will notice that the transaction has a “pending” notice next to it. This is not a charge to your card merely a pre-authorisation to cover any extras during your stay. The bank releases this within five business days. This is a practice adopted and used by all hotels to ensure there is sufficient funds to cover stay and incidentals. More information available online. I hope this helps. Kind Regards Morgan
