I read the reviews after booking and was preparing for the worst. What I found was a great, quiet stay that was centrally located, easy to get in and out of, with all the features I needed. The people at the front desk were helpful and friendly, the location was sensational, and I found my apartment was super good value for the price. I had no issue with noise, no weird people popping in my room, no problems with the shower, found my room clean, didn't face any of the issues others had described. TBH, what bothered me most about my stay is listening to the way some of the older Australians spoke to people at reception and the way they carried on. It was embarrassing at times to hear people berating a solid 3 to 3.5 star hotel for not being more like some upper echelon hotel, and hearing people having orders barked at them. And the casual racism I saw and heard was really gross, especially when people tried to get me to join in on their eyerolls and carry on in the elevator. The hotel has been around a while, so it's not fancy or super modern. But it's incredibly reasonably priced, the staff work hard, and the location is sensational. You can't expect a balcony overlooking Lygon street to be quiet, nor can you choose to have a week in Melbourne at this price while also having the fanciest joint in town. As a traveler, it sometimes comes down to picking and choosing what you want from the experience, and not being a jerk about stuff when a little patience would do.

Hidden Gem in Carlton with everything you need. Kichen, utensils, desk TV, spacious, balcony, great staff and car park (limited spots). Bathroom looked newly renovated. Restaurant next door can deliver meals. Will definitely go back

Pleasant stay in a nice area close to the university. Kitchenette was handy and room was quiet, though not fancy. Good value for money and would stay again.

A self contained well resourced room with a stove top as well as microwave (not that we used either), and located on the second floor looking through street trees on busy Lygon St. Limited on site parking, if you get there early.

I had a Lygon Street facing room. The room itself is big and has a kitchen, and everything you need. But the noise from Lygon street is loud. Plus there is a restaurant/bar undernearth that was playing loud live music until 11:30 pm on a Monday night... So, not ideal if youre after an early nights sleep. I normally dont mind noise, but this was a little much for even me. The reception area is pretty small and underwhelming. The property itself is getting pretty tired. The staff were very friendly, and the location is great if you like lots of eating choices. You can partk across the road near the park for free from 6:30pm until 7:30 am. Otherwise parking options are expensive everywhere nearbye. The property was fine. Nothing terrible, just not particularly amazing either.

Fit for Purpose
The place was spotless. Couple of broken things but, they could still be used! My room was cold but fixed by having reverse cycle heating. Close to all the excellent Lygon street restaurants, bus stop outside the building. Staff were all friendly and are on front desk 24 X 7. Car spots are available by I didn’t need. Not flash but certainly “Fit for Purpose”!! I’d stay again 😉
