A very comfortable room with good amenities. Close to trams and trains. St.Kilda and the casino only a short trip away and there are restaurants close by. We will stay here again.

Very impressed with the comparison of the star rating against the actual place. Clean comfortable and quiet. The only irritating thing about the stay would be the elevator. It didn’t go to the hotel lobby exit, one floor below the restaurant.

It’s a new hotel and rooms were clean. Convenient location within Melbourne shopping precinct. Stayed on 7th floor corner room therefore some street noise could be heard. Only issue is where the TV was placed in an odd location in the middle at the end of the bed which was a safety hazard as you can hit your head against it. Tram stop is just right in front at Elizabeth street.
