Hidden gem, only found this place through a friend’s recommendation as it doesn’t appear to come up high in searches - which probably won’t stay this way for long! Would love to come back. Thank you for the stay.

Great location for theatre district/Chinatown

Very clean and nicely renovated hotel well located near Melbourne public transport, theatre district and numerous restaurants/cafes for all day dining. Bed was a little hard but OK. Checked in early (prior to theatre matinee session) and Lily (Guest Services) kindly found us a room that was available for early check-in. Tissue box in bathroom only had one tissue in it but Lily happily provided us with another box when the matter was reported. The complimentary tea/coffee/hot chocolate station in the reception sitting area is a great idea and well appreciated. The gift provided to us by the Hotel for our special occasion was unexpected and a nice touch.

Good choice with a decent basic hotel in Melbourne

Fantastic location if you need to stay in the hotel, walking distance to public transportation and restaurants just outside your hotel. It is located in the "elegant" section of China town near the Parliament. Spacious room, adequate amenities, with the right price, it is a very good choice rather than pay much more in the old hotels.
