My stay at the hotel was great! The location was superb, close to shops, restaurants, transport, and theatres. The rooms were clean, comfortable, but could use a good freshen up. The service was top-notch, with welcoming and polite staff. However, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't change rooms due to construction noise. The location was perfect for exploring Chinatown, and the staff were attentive. The dining experience was mixed, with some fantastic dishes but also some disappointments. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the heart of Melbourne, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were a bit outdated with dark furniture and didn't match the online pictures. The service, especially from Brad, was top-notch and truly made our stay special. However, the dining options were lacking and seemed average. Overall, a convenient choice for those wanting to be in the center of the action.

The rooms were probably a little smaller than expected, but it was fine as we didn't spend much time inside. The room was changed on the second day, and it was much better. However, the view was obstructed by a nearby building, and we didn't get much natural light. Disappointingly, the rooms were not serviced during our two-night stay, which was a first for us.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, just a minute's walk from the best bars and restaurants, making our night out incredibly convenient. While the rooms were clean and of a high standard in terms of cleanliness, they were a bit small and in need of a renovation. The service was friendly, but there was a bit of a mix-up when I requested to change rooms due to nearby construction. The dining experience was enjoyable, with delicious food but some limitations, and the facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was really nice. The room was lovely, right next to the pool. I did have an issue with the shower being blocked that evening, but the manager on duty was wonderful and had it fixed right away, even giving me a bottle of wine. On the downside, the room looked straight at another building, providing minimal natural light.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a modern bathroom, but the overall feeling was a bit unclean and run down. While the service was friendly and accommodating, there was a mix-up with missing items. The location was fantastic, right on the edge of Chinatown, but there were issues with sharing information accurately. The dining experience was worth the money, especially with the special deal offered. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a bit underwhelming. The rooms had rubbish left over from the previous guest and were generally dirty and unkept. They were also smaller than I expected when we booked. Despite that, the service was fantastic, especially with the mattress padded cover provided upon request. The location, although in need of refurbishment, was beautiful and inviting, offering easy access to key areas of the city. The dining experience fell short as it was atrocious, far from the stunning pictures displayed for breakfast, yet the buffet quality was acceptable.
