Excellent location for our needs in easy walking distance of medical, shopping and food options with Koreatown further down Little Lonsdale and Chinatown an easy couple of laneway walk away in Little Bourke. Latrobe st Tram stop a laneway away in the other direction.
Room was well renovated, with all the modern conveniences expected in the 2020's. Plenty of power and USB charging points for modern devices. 2 changes would be a benefit; get a shower head with pressure, it'll actually save more...

Easy hotel to get too and the parking is generous. Across from DFO and can basically walk anywhere from here. The staff are really friendly and polite, and the general amenity is always more than expected being so clean, neat and well presented. We stay here any opportunity we can get!

A hidden little gem... I wasn't too sure what to expect following mixed reviews from past travellers. I stayed in a deluxe king room with breakfast on the 8th floor (Friday / Saturday) and was very impressed. The interior upgrade has transformed the hotel. Upgrade is a work in progress so be sure to check with staff before booking if wanting to stay in the upgraded rooms.... Only 5-10mins walk to China Town, Myers/David Jones and the new Emporium. Not to mention the theatres and great cafes /...

After check in and learning the indoor pool and spa heater was not working I was prepared to pack my bags and leave as having the heated pool facility was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel. However, everything else about the hotel was great and I knew it would be hard to find another hotel at such short notice on par with the Pegasus Hotel. To my surprise I received a phone call from the Manager the second day which was a welcomed surprise. Not only was she very apologetic about the...
