In a good location if you’re after the nightlife of South Yarra. I didn’t have any problems with the noise. The surrounding clubs just sounded muffled and muted from inside my room. Also very late night food options around too, which I was quite grateful for after getting back one night at 3am.
Only about 10min walk from Prahan train station, but I found I was always having to walk 15min to South Yarra station instead coz they had all the direct trains for where I needed to go during my stay, whereas from Prahan, I’d have to switch trains if catching one from there.
If you’re a particularly big person (or will have a LOT of luggage with you), I don’t know that this accommodation would suit. The narrow alley entrance to the property is not even wide enough to fully open an umbrella in, which also meant that I occasionally got caught in a little bit of rain while going to and from property.
It was a nice little room, comfy bed and pillows, but be aware they have no top sheet. It was just the sheet on the bed that you sleep on and then a quilt over you. That’s it (they did have an extra quilt in a cupboard if needed though). So if that’s something that bothers you, bring an extra sheet for yourself. I personally felt a bit icky sleeping in the bed without that second sheet. The quilt is very warm too which is great for cold weather but I found that I’d wake up feeling too hot and ended up having to sleep with the aircooler on. The weather while I was there wasn’t particularly hot or cold, but having no quilt was too cold for me and there was no sheet or light blanket to use instead, so using the combo of aircooler and quilt was the only way I could find to sleep in a relatively comfortable temperature.
The shower does take some time to heat up but the temperature (and water pressure) were good once done. It is also small. My husband, who is much larger than me, would’ve definitely had trouble if he’d been with me and needed to shower.
There were no power points near the near the bed that I could find. I’m someone who likes to have my phone close by as I sleep, but also on the charger. During my stay, I’d have to sleep with my phone charging on a portable charger and then charge my portable one back up the following day. Not an issue for me coz I usually pack two portable chargers with me, but if you only have one and will need it throughout your day as well, this could be an issue for some.
