The room was nothing like what was pictured on the website. There were NOT enough elevators to serve the size of the property. Waiting over 30mins for an elevator empty enough to get on is not ok for the cost of the hotel.

Aside from the Cole’s/woolies self check in/out and having to find your own way, it’s a really clean, modern and nice place to stay. Breakfast is really nice, room spacious and bed amazing. You don’t get any of the trinkets (hand cream, tooth brush, sewing kits) that other equivalent hotels supply but aside from that, would definitely stay here Again.

The hotel was great. From entering the foyer it just had a great vibe. We stayed in a Superior King room and it was quite spacious and had lots of natural light. The location is fantastic if you’re in Melbourne for any of the main theatres. There are loads of places to eat close by, including Chinatown. We would definitely stay again.

Beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. Location was convenient for us, we went to a show at Her Majesty's Theatre which is literally across the road. Breakfast buffet was delicious, my teenage son left "full" - a rare occurrence these days! Check-in and out being digital feels a little less personal, but it is efficient, so... Would definitely stay again if we ever need to.
