Maybe I'm just getting a little cynical, but if this is the 6th best rated hotel for Melbourne, you must be hard pressed finding a good hotel. We stayed in the two bed executive room. The rooms are clean, but are very small. Much smaller then the impression you get from the photo's. IMPORTANT !!!! There is currently a large... more

The lounge has self service coffee/tea and their massage chairs are... more

Great hotel with some funky touches and a very good breakfast with hot food cooked to order. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were very modern and comfortable.
