Give a miss
Bathroom was mouldy and TV didn't work. We were shifted to a slightly cleaner room but wouldn't recommend to anyone unless the room was dusted and vacumed under everything movable and the grouting replaced. Bath was rusty.

It’s cheap and that’s what ur paying for
The only thing ur paying for is location. If ure a no-fuss, i dont care i just need somewhere to sleep, it’s bang on worth the money. But all the furniture, bedding was worn down, as cruel as it is to say this, like the furniture u see people throw out on the kerb.
I arrived over public holidays so saw no one working there at all. You had to ring a number to access a safe with the hotel keys. There was a gentleman from the UK desperate to check in but his phone wasn’t for local calls so it was lucky I turned up to help him out.

Give it a miss...
Disappointing.... our room did not look like the photographs so perhaps we were on a level that was not usually used. Mould in the bathroom cupboard, windows hadn't been cleaned for years. We noticed a horrible smell outside our room door, my husband found rubbish had been stashed in a cupboard near by - surely this should have been something easy noticed by the cleaners. The location was the only positive. Lucky we were only here for a short time but would happily spend a few more $ next time to ensure we were in a nicer environment.

All The Convenience
The stay was easy. It wasn’t anything flash but it was clean with a big bathroom and a queen sized bed, pillows could have been better but that’s not that different to most places.
The location was super convenient right next to a convenience store and McDonalds. It was also with a 2 minute walk of Flinders Street Station and about a minute from the nearest tram on Collins Street and 2-3 minutes to Bourke Street.
Access was easy, even after arriving after the reception was closed as the hotel gave me very clear instructions on how to enter the property and get my keys from the safe.
If you just want a room to stay in and a good sized bathroom in an extremely convenient location, this is the place.

Easy quick check-in. Room smaller than we thought it would be. Not a queen bed, pillows are flat should have another 2 in the room, needs a good clean and lot of work to make it better.

Didnt stay, went elsewhere
Didnt stay, had to find somewhere else, seemed that there were bed bugs. Itchiness started within an hour of arriving, reception was unattended from before 6pm, no one to talk to about the issue so we left.

Solo traveller.
Bathroom has been updated. having a toaster and microwave was good. Furniture and tv need updating. Finding a working power point was a challenge. However given the price it was more than adequate for an overnight stay in the centre of Melbourne.

Shocking. Dirty bath and shower. Hairs everywhere and the tv didn’t even work and one light was broken. Location is the only positive. For $303 for one night disgusting.

Location is great, but property nothing like in photos. I slept fine but it was noise, and I'm sure some would feel unsafe there.
Reception spoke limited english and fact all I needed to do was show ID before I was given the key and a code to the door just made me feel uneasy.

This place is right in middle of where you want to be. It's the top of motels, but it's good for a few nights here in the city on a buget.
