We stayed at this hotel for a Convention across the river at MCEC and it was perfect. The updates so far are great after being changed over from the Pensione, and it can only get better. Staff were lovely, the courtyard room is definitely worth the little extra if for nothing else, just to be able to enjoy the greenery when you wake up or relax during the day. Best sleep in a hotel in long while!
Very clean rooms and attentive front of house and house keeping staff.
Space can be a little tight in the room if you have a lot of luggage, but it didn't bother us as we just stood our suitcases up when we were out and about. Plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe which was nice.
We had a room outside the elevator doors and didn't here anything from other guests.
The free tram that takes you to docklands and Victoria markets etc is just around the corner from the hotel.
For anyone on a budget, can highly recommend the 5 min walk to southern cross station and finding the cafe in the centrecourt. They do $5 savory breakfast muffins and $3.50 sweet muffins. The also have some yummy soups all day, perfect for the cold!
Overall we had an enjoyable stay, and my mum was happy she could get some washing done as well.
We'll be coming back again next time we're in Melbourne!
