I have stayed here many times over the years on short trips to Melbourne - it is great for its central location, accessible to so many of Melbourne's best sites and attractions. Be aware the rooms are tiny - fine if you are out and about, and don't expect to do much beyond sleep in your room. However, unfortunately, the whole place is very tired and needs a thorough clean. As soon as you enter the premises and see the grot on the stairs, it gives you a taste of what is to come. Our room had clean sheets, but everything else was dusty and dirty. The bathroom facilities also needed a thorough clean also, and basic attention to things like broken soap dispensers.

We need to remember this is a budget hotel, so dont expect much. Rooms are quite small but comes with a jug. Double window which did a good job keeping street noises out. Good heater, tv. Good shower and loo just down the hallway. Small kitchen up stairs. If you are budget focused, definitely recommend. Good location and secure.

After gaining entry through a safely locked door and climbing a flight of the stairs we were allocated our room. Small but adequate with a cleanly made bed, tv and heater. Tea n coffee supplied. 3 bathrooms a 1minute walk down the corridor. I felt safe and with the heater on for 2 days the room was warm. Quite central to everywhere.

Reasonably priced for budget accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff during the day. Basic maintenance needed to fix broken fittings (power point, heat pump) which they tried to do while there with limited success. Central location is great. Our room had its own bathroom. Wouldn’t want to use the shared facilities as not very clean. Upstairs shared kitchen and laundry facilities were good but steep stairs and leaky roof were concerns. Generally okay for a night or so.
