Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. This hotel promises alot on its website but the reality is something all together different. The Modern Hotel Room turned out to be a small cramped excuse for a room that did not even have a window! When a complaint was made they offered to move me to another room, but that... More

Bed is hard as rock barely sleepable! Tv is so small room is small cracked windows such a disappointment to my holiday away! As for the location it's good but that's it. In an alley way which is noisy do yourself a favour and don't stay here!!

The location of this "hotel" is fantastic, right in the middle of the CBD and close to Hardware Lane. Sadly that is where the good stops. To get to your rooms you travel in a small, noisy and dodgy elevator, the floor I was on and the room I was given smelt so badly of cigarette smoke and damp. The... More

I stay for the location, certainly not the service. The rooms are adequate, reasonably clean, but getting quite rundown. As a place to sleep and shower it's ok. Just don't expect much in the way of service or extras. The wifi is a total ripoff. I was quoted $12 for half an hour of usage..outrageous. I'm sure they could afford... More

Hotel is well located in the heart of the city. But... We booked (in 2012) for a double room for 4 nights(for begining of February 2013). We were very surprised that our room (on the 5th floor ) was way far from the image they present for it as promotion of their hotel. Our room was so narrow, that on... More

The hotel is in a very nice location in the middle of the city. The room is nice. The room service happens within limited hours only (if you missed it you have to wait to the next day). The worst thing about the hotel is the itchy bed, something in the bed really make this itch.

This hotel is a hidden gem located in one of Melbourne's quaint "Little" streets (more like laneways). We were served by ever helpful staff who assisted us with booking a room (even though we were straight off the street looking for available accommodation), recommendations for sightseeing and places to eat and booking seats on the airport shuttle. We booked a... More

The rooms are reasonably new but need a face lift. The walls were marked and although the room was serviced it was in need of a decent spring clean. Tv was small and didn't pick up all channels. The bath room was small and water splashed from the shower all over the floor. These are all fairly minor problems upsides... More
