A good stay for the price. However, we had someone trying to follow us to our room or even the restaurant inside the building, which was unsafe. And the staff mentionned that those people are like that and they are in the lobby everyday. However, the staff was good and they escorted us safely.

A good place to stay, near transport to move on the free tram zone and to the airport. A bit noisy because of the old A/C and bath ventilator. However is near a few museums and the Yarra river to enjoy the views.
