I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were dark, had a horrible smell, and the noise from a loud party was disruptive. On the bright side, the service was really helpful and friendly.

The hotel has a convenient location for sightseeing in Melbourne, with easy access to dining options and transport. However, the rooms were not well-maintained, had a strong unpleasant odor, and security issues. The service was accommodating but lacked understanding of prior payments, while the dining options were not available at the hotel.
