The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with high ceilings, providing 100 MB of free internet per day and a complimentary newspaper. However, the rooms overlook a noisy road. The service is welcoming and accommodating, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The location is quiet and easily accessible by tram, but not ideal for shopping or dining options. The dining experience offers a variety of choices in a light-filled room. Facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.

I absolutely loved the convenient location of the hotel, just out of the hustle and bustle, with easy access to trams and lovely cafes. The room, though a bit on the small side, was comfortable and cosy, offering modern amenities in a charming old-world setting. However, it could use a fresh coat of paint and a thorough cleaning in some areas.

The hotel exudes a real colonial charm with its fantastic heritage building, high ceilings, and modern bathrooms. Just outside the city, the rooms offer a unique experience to relax and unwind, quite different from typical corporate stays. However, the lack of comfort in some areas is noticeable.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely, very comfortable, and came with a large TV and free internet access. The spacious rooms were clean, had high ceilings, and even included a free newspaper delivered to my door on two mornings. The friendly staff were so helpful and even arranged a new booking for me after I fell ill. The location was perfect, just out of the hustle and bustle, with tram stations close by and a pleasant walk to the city. The dining experience was excellent, especially the cooked-to-order items and fresh seasonal vegetables. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel is located in a peaceful oasis, just a minute walk from the tram stop, making it easy to explore Melbourne. The rooms, including the family room with a queen bed and single bed, were cozy despite being a bit noisy early in the morning. The service, while old and dated, was friendly and helpful in recommending local attractions. The dining experience offered a great choice and delicious hot items. The facilities were adequate, but the price could be considered high for the value received.
