Ideal location for visiting family in melb. Clean and met basic requirements, bit noisy but as expected on a sat night.Got best rate online direct. Only criticism would be that we had an entertainment card which entitled us to 2 free breakfasts- when we went to have breakfasts the staff member had no idea about the promo. She rang the... More

We stayed here for a night in the city and since we were out most of the time so the room was very suitable. Honestly for the price you pay here it is well worth the money for a bed, clean room and a TV. If your looking for a long stay and wanting to use facilities I probably wouldn't... More

We had our wedding here in July 2009 and the service at the reception was fantastic. Their event manager and coordinator was really easy to work with and catered to most of our needs. The food was great and the guests were happy and full. They have a full range of electronics to be used. I will recommend 100%. More

Felt I got value for money, the room was large, and I visited my son at melbourne Uni- so very convenient location for this. Also the first stop for STAR bus from airport, and last pick up back to the airport. ( $17 each way door to door ) So all very convenient. Its a bit remote- nothing to do... More

Those of you familiar with the Australian film “The Castle” will no doubt recall Darryl Kerrigan’s favourite comment “….tell him he’s dreaming”. And, if someone told Darryl that he could find a reasonable hotel in Melbourne for under $100 he’d probably repeat that very line. But it is possible and, as Darryl’s somewhat tragic legal counsel said “…it’s the Vibe”.... More

Stayed two nights on business. The hotel is very conveniently located, has excellent (free) onsite parking and has modest prices. It may be a budget hotel, but the rooms are spacious, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was excellent, far better that I have (not) enjoyed in higher priced establishments. Sure it is a modernised building, but... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend and found the hotel reasonable - average - nice - whatever.

Not bad for approx. $100 per night. Price varied depending on Night and peak season. Neat and tidy renovated older building. One night housekeeping left our door open..... Every night we seemed to have noisy neighbours. Not party goers, usually OS tourists that were just plain noisy, and the wall did not stop the noise. Good onsite parking for $10... More

As others have said this is a great location, but the downside is poorly ventilated rooms, poor hygiene, and additional charges for everything from parking to WiFi. Our room was spacious, but smelt of mould and the only way to ventilate the room was to open the balcony door (the windows don't open) which you can only do with the... More
