The location is convenient if you’re looking to go anywhere around the Melbourne CBD, but it’s right next to a bunch of train and tram tracks, which can be noisy at night. In terms of comfort, it was ok, though the bed was too soft for my back’s liking.
While the place looked clean enough, the hallways reeked of garbage, the room stank of cigarettes (the smoke detector had been covered with a glove by a previous tenant), the shower head holder was broken, and there was an unbaked cake in the freezer that was moulding around the edges (likely left behind by a previous tenant too).
We initially couldn’t get anyone to clean it up because housekeeping goes home at 2pm. Luckily one of the staff was still hanging around, so she came in to clean the fridge and throw out the cake.
If you’re hoping to get some work done in the room, you might want to look somewhere else - the wifi could barely load a single page and would frequently disconnect.
Overall, it would’ve been an ok place to stay in if it were $10 to $20 cheaper.
