“The property stands out for accommodating both pets and families, offering specialized packages and even adjoining rooms; its proximity to Melbourne's CBD, a short tram ride away, makes city exploration straightforward. I think the location is a strong point, near Albert Park Lake and the Royal Botanic Gardens, perfect for balancing urban access with natural escapes. This could be a practical choice, especially if traveling with a pet.”

cleanliness was not a priority, i see. the sheet was, lets say, 'used' and the doona was, quite frankly, a single on a double bed. good luck sleeping. also, i tried making a coffee, but the kettle only worked if i held the button like my life depended on it.

The location was very convenient.. it offered easy access to nearby attractions. i appreciated the spaciousness of the beautiful king room. It easily accommodated my needs .

The hotel did not provide complimentary parking. a daily fee was charged, and it was not initially clear. the room also lacked soundproofing. Intermittent noises from water pipes woke me up several times during the night.

I found the room to be of a nice size. The bed was ok. Not too soft and not too firm. Location was convenient. It was close to public transport for access to both the city and Prahran.

The room looked a little run down. The shower handle came off in my hand. the bedside table clock was broken. THE tv remote did not work the entire time.
