Best Location, Worth money!”
- The hotel is very near to the southern cross station. - The staff are very helpful. - Room is great. We stayed in the family room for 6 days with no cleaning service option but you can ask for the new towel / pillow / bin. - The room is the same as its photo. - Close enough to be able to walk to the crown casino and outlet (only 2 tram stop) - check in/out very quickly. They accept to store the luggages before/after checkin-out - Good price if booked in advanced - Definitely stay at the next time in Mel.

Overnight stay”
This suited my purpose brilliantly, I needed to be on the first skybus for an early morning flight. As the location was so good I could walk to skybus, I had no problem checking out as there is 24 hour reception. It was clean, staff were friendly, it was a cost effective solution.

Excellent Budget Hotel”
We are both in our 70s. We walked with our luggage from Spencer street station (in the rain at around 8.30pm) and next morning to Flinders St station ( no rain) without any difficulty. The room was excellent with a very comfortable bed. Absolutely no complaints.

Overnight stay”
To be fair, we only stayed overnight for about 7 hours for sleep so our stay was limited. That said, we were happy with the staff, the room and the location. The hotel looked spotless and clean, nice rooms and bathroom. Perfect location for our early morning train.

I have stayed many times and each time the hotel gets even better. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Staff helpful and friendly. And it’s diagonally across from Southern Cross Station and the Sky bus. I feel safe leaving the hotel at 4:00am to get to the airport. Good price as well if booked in advance.

Nice and clean. Comfortable for my one night stay. Great shower. Only thing I would have liked was an extra blanket in the room. I left the heater on low overnight, which I normally don't like to do. Will definitely stay there again.

Very good!”
Booked family room, stayed 3 nights in total over 3 different bookings. It's so much better than I expected. Location is awesome, very close to Southern Cross station, everything you need is there. Room is clean and quite spacious for 4 of us including our 4 luggage. Room has microwave. Coin laundry a bit far out in the carpark but better than nothing. Service provided was top notch! Very friendly, polite, helpful and always available regardless of the time. Luggage storage provided with no fuss as well. Very recommended for families looking needing hotel level service with great price.
