My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious enough for two people and conveniently close to the tram service, making it easy to travel in and out of the city. The location in North Melbourne was great, but there were some issues with the check-in system and the initial instructions given to find the apartment. The service was friendly and quick to attend to requests, although there were inconsistencies with providing information. The hotel had great access to public transport and was near the city, suiting my needs perfectly.

After the initial night of no sleep, the room turned out to be plenty big enough for the two of us.

The rooms were spacious and provided us with great washing machine and kitchen facilities, but unfortunately, they were extremely noisy from passing traffic, trams, and even pedestrian crossing signals at all hours. Despite this, the room was plenty big enough for the two of us, although we discovered the next morning that the coffee cups were still dirty from the previous occupants.

The rooms were spacious and equipped with convenient washing machine and kitchen facilities, but noise from external sources was a significant issue. However, the room size was adequate for us, and we encountered dirty coffee cups left by the previous guests.

The service was very friendly and kind; the staff was apologetic and extremely helpful in refunding and understanding our situation after we pointed out the issues we faced.
Location

The location was nice and handy, being just a 15-minute stop from the city and convenient for visiting Carlton and Fitzroy. It was particularly suitable for us as it was close to the relatives we were visiting, despite being situated in an area filled with hooligans.

There were no specific comments provided about the dining experience or the grilled dishes.

The facilities were convenient, but some issues were highlighted, such as the presence of mold in the shower and difficulty changing the TV channel. Despite these, the location was still deemed great and perfect for a couples retreat.

The hotel offers excellent access to public transport making it fantastic, and I would definitely recommend this place to any of our friends. However, the room was noisy due to traffic virtually 24/7 and frequent trams passing by till late at night.
