Agree with several of the reviews below-this place is an insult to anywhere that calls itself a hotel. We had to move room 3 times due to each one having things crawling in the beds and ended up with horrific red and itchy bed bug bites all over us. Staff never apologised and the defiant and unapologetic manager just shrugged... more

i loved the oslo.... you can´t write about something you experienced a couple of years ago! they really worked on it! the bathrooms are the best i had so far! john, the owner, is really helpful, tries to keep the place clean and quiet! i came back 3 times because they have such a nice tv area, couches, a pool... more

It is not fit for human habitation and needs to be closed down by the Aus authorities. The... more

When I arrived at Melbourn it was the day of the GP. I hadn't arranged accomodation and was panicing.
