Unfortunately listing did not mention extra charge for parking
Lygon street is not an easy place to find breakfast- we had to travel into the city
Old furnishings but clean and very comfortable bed, but great to have the extra space in the room

The staff were amazing. Nothing was a problem. The room was quite big and clean. We have normally stayed in more expensive hotels but as we were only their 5 days decided that n the cheaper option and was pleasantly surprised 😊

Several of the listed amenities were not available. The studio apartments lack a dishwasher and laundry services even within the building. The room's condition was heavily worn and unclean particularly the bathtub/shower. Also very limited front desk help. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Melbourne Apt Hotel on Elgin. We used their laundry services and they're very close to the trams. Many eateries nearby too.

Good location, close to Lygon street, but far enough back that its quiet enough. Walking distance to the city, but again far enough away that you can see the sky.

Room was comfortable and quiet as it faced east, away from Lygon Street. There was a an unpleasant smell in the lifts and corridors. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. Hot water could take 15 minutes to come on.
