The room was quite small but the bed was really comfortable and the space was clean. I really enjoyed the on site laundry, it's super convenient and quick, no need for detergent, cash, etc, just put your clothes in and scan. The location is a 10min walk to Fitzroy Gardens and it's an amazing park. Groceries and cafes are also within a 10 minute walking radius. Bars and clubs are two streets down but the area is super quiet, you won't hear the noise. Overall, it's cute for solo travellers who want to explore Melbourne.

Disliked: Room comfort

Maybe I am not cool enough…

Didn’t love the bed right up against the window on an elevated platform was kind of clumsy to get in and out of it. Without Blockout blinds there was a fair bit of light getting into the room, to alter the blinds You need to walk over the bed. No top sheet provided and the mattress was not terribly comfortable he was kind of soft around the edges. The shared amenity concept is not a bad idea. I thought the room seemed particularly sparse. Perhaps I’m not collingwood cool enough to appreciate the room design but it felt like it was fairly pricey for what I would consider a super basic room. The bed was meant to be a queen bed. I would swear it was a double but I didn’t measure it. The room key provided a QR code where you could go keyless. It requires you to download an app and it was not immediately obvious or a parent how to actually link that to your room key so I didn’t follow through. That process has been seamless in many other hotels for me. The location is good.

Lovely stay, convenient, cost efficient, welcoming. The only 2 things that bothered me a little was the large ledge beside the bed made it a little more challenging to get in and out of bed and there was no PowerPoint in the bathroom (but it would be understandable if it was a safety concern with shower steam) But overall we loved it and have booked again to come back.

Overnight stay

Overnight stay. Very tiny room. We had to share with next room for kitchen. Price is steep and they treat me like it’s hostel where we need to share kitchen. Very slow check in process. Bathroom is glass door and can see everything through. May be tricky if you share room with friends instead of your partner.

Nice design and layout. Rooms are small but cosy, modern, and well furnished. The shared spaces are cool and give a bit of a hostel vibe. Location is great, and close to many dining options. The parking can be a bit tricky to find at first, as it's not on the same street as the hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
