Spotlessly clean, great staff. Quiet room and large bathroom. Comfortable bed, although pillows are flat and had to ask for a better one (provided). No toaster though and only serviced every three days which isn’t so good when you’re showering twice a day in summer. 10/10 to Fia, and all staff, we loved our stay! Close to everything…city, lake, Sth Melb, Albert Park etc. If there was a feedback form in the room, we’d have left most privately but still giving 5 stars.

The room was spacious and comfortable . The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great only 7 minutes walk from the new ANZAC Metro Tunnel station. One thing to be aware of is the car park. There is an extremely steep driveway into the car park. Also the car park is not designed to accomodate large wide SUV's.

Lift was not working, so we needed to lug luggage up 3 floors. Entire bathroom get wet when showering, as the shower curtain is quite short. The 3 coat hangers provided were very dirty. The kitchenette wall was very dirty. The carpet was stained. The front desk staff (Ryan) was very helpful and friendly.
