My girlfriend and I came down from the Gold Coast for the State of Origin and stayed for four nights at the Pensione. The location was perfect, most places were within walking distance and if they weren't the tram stops were right out front. The city circle tourist tram stops around the corner as well. The rooms were fine, a... More

The location won us over - close to tram, casino, football and train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good. Our rooms were satifactory with comfortable beds but they were a fraction small. More

We were there for a conference at the conference centre across the river. The location was great, tram just outside, more lines 20m around the corner, just down the road from the sky bus to and from the airport. The room was a little small, but we paid little dollars, so we weren't complaining. The guys at the front desk... More

Location is handy to everything. Easy walk to train station. Had to change rooms as our first one was noisy but staff accommodated our needs with no fuss. Second room 128 was quieter. Rooms are small but what does it matter unless you plan to do yoga or something?! Breakfast place was good and very reasonably priced. No complaints here!... More

Hotel conveniently located when arriving from the airport with the airport bus: just a few blocks towards Yarra river. Very nice looking lobby and bar, cold and disinterested receptionists (both at checkin, checkout and during my three nights stay). I had a single room on the ground floor: very basic but clean, strange feeling due to the fact that the... More

I stayed here for a few nights for a conference at the nearby convention center, an easy 10-15 min walk away over the bridge, and also because it was close to the Southern Cross station. The room was possibly the tiniest hotel room I've ever stayed in, barely big enough for a twin bed and a suitcase. The bathroom was... More
