The heater is too weak and small to warm up the room. The hot water in the bathroom is also quite weak, which would make it difficult to take a shower in winter.

The price, the location, and the cleanliness of room are good.

Some facilities ie ..shower and basins weren't working properly.

Simple clean and tidy. Great position next to tramline and buses Coffee .food shops on doorstep.

Bed only ok. Bathroom next door noisy. Traffic noise.

Good value in the bar downstairs

Noisy (have to expect that being on top of a pub) and for quite a cheap price we were happy to accept that

Incredible location, clean place, very organised and easy to get into

The room was clean, and the key access worked perfectly. Despite its location, the room was surprisingly quiet, which made for a pleasant stay. While the room was simple, it was more than adequate for a one-night stay and offered great value for the price.

I didn’t like the codes system; three codes remembering even if written down, creates a frustration; and makes coming and going to your room a drag; and maybe makes you event ways or not locking your room—even for short times only.

The evening meal was v good; I needed GF food and it was there and delicious. Plenty facilities in the the boardinghouse.

Location close to where I had an event Really cheap, all I needed was a bed Parma was great

The noises are expected, it’s on top of the pub after all, but there was 1 night that the music and people talked so loudly after midnight, felt like it will never end, it was really hard to go to sleep, luckily I’ve got my noice blocked earphone then I was able to make it.

The self check-in was awesome, very well organized information and it has its own accommodation entry which doesn’t need to pass the pub downstairs.

Single bed was a bit too short for my height. Got access codes on the last moment. Weekend evenings may be a bit noisy as in the same building is a pub.

Very good location and clean.

Stayed in May 2025

Expectations were met. A bit of noise crept in from the footy on the TV downstairs in the pub, but not unexpected.

Good location for what I needed. Good price.

Bed and the Doona, detest doonas V

Clean

The room was slightly stuffy but there was a fan - it was also a little noisy but there were earplugs provided; I'm not noise sensitive. Honestly, for the price, these are very minor concerns! I'd also note the shared wash areas were not all equally clean/inviting.

The location is perfect. I loved the easy keyless entry and I was amazed at how lovely the room was - plus the shared kitchen; this far exceeded my expectations. Also, the shower/toilet areas were never busy.

0 soundproofing. Could hear steps outside, tram, everything. Difficult to sleep. No dryer or paper towel in toilets. Shower was fine but ceiling was getting mouldy

Very good location, nice pub downstairs, very good price, self check-in at any time

Probably my main complaint would be the bed, mine was really creaky which was annoying, and it's not exactly the most comfortable bed, but if you sleep reasonably well then it's fine. Basic, but fine.

Actually quite a nice room for the price I paid (~$80). It's basic and an old building, but you can tell care has been taken to install reasonably nice locks, the chair in the room was good enough for me (nice enough, it may be from Kmart or something but I'm happy with that) and the carpet in the hallway and facilities are nice enough. When I was there I found all the guests to be respectful/quiet and everything was tidy, which was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting it to have some less desirable characters lurking about. There's also a tram stop right around the corner so it's an easy place to get to/from as well.

This hotel is in a super convenient location right next to a tram stop, and in an interesting inner city neighbourhood with lots of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets. It's really good value, and having the use of the shared kitchen helps save on meals. The staff are very kind and friendly. It was not too expensive to get an Uber their from Melbourne airport when I arrived.

There is no air conditioning and it was very uncomfortable even with fan on. I tried to keep window open but it was very loud with traffic all night long.

The location was excellent. It was also easy to check in.

Stayed in March 2025

Stiflingly hot. But, otherwise, comfortable in the event of no heat wave. My room faced north and received a lot hot sunshine. But I enjoyed my stay there.

I stayed there during a heart have. My room was very hot and stifling. The fan provided in the room by the facility I used throughout the day and evening.

Stayed in March 2025

Room fan was a bit busted, bathroom pretty rundown.

I used to gig at this hotel so it was fun to stay upstairs. Bit of a weird experience, never met anyone, codes for gate and doors, shower across the hall.

The location, atmosphere, pricing, and facilities

Would be great if possible to have proper aircon machines as opposed to fans but that was the only negative.

Loved this! Superb location would stay again if I’m in Melbourne.

Stayed in February 2025

My room had a fan but actually it was still very hot and dry.

I liked that everything was clean! I asked to enter my room earlier and staff made it happen. Thank you for that! If you like second hand shops and nice restaurants its perfect place to stay.

Stayed in February 2025

Few complaints, given the cheap rate of room. Different set-up in smaller shared toilet, as in no wash-up facility. The toilet across the hall had one. Neither toilet had a hand-dryer or even paper towels. Shower had the body lotion etc. Products located in a wire basket OUTSIDE the actual shower recess. Reach around. Shower taps not clearly marked as H or C.

The low price. The ease of secure access.

Only downside was that when we got to the property we were given check in details for the wrong room and ended up going into a room where another couple were staying. As we were checked in late we were at a loss for an hour trying to book other hotels. Luckily we then saw someone on site who helped us and advised we’re in a different room. We were not happy at the time but the hotel were very professional about it and refunded us for the night straight away, really happy with how it was handled.

Lovely clean rooms with decent space and nice decor! Shared toilets and kitchen were also always clean, we felt comfortable here.
