The best part was the receptionist Therese. She was the most helpful person I may have come across. The second best part was the lively Lygon street.

This property is close to Lygon street precinct and Woolworths is close. The room are clean and compact. The staff were amazing, even housekeeping. I normally stay at the Langham but couldn’t go past the price for 3 nights. At the end of the day I was only sleeping and showering here. Perfect for me. Would highly recommend as I come from the industry. If you have luggage. Enter via carpark lift. I could not complain especially for the price. Il be staying here again

Sleepless in Carlton
On-site parking and location were great. But inside our room was very noisy. Our room was right beside an outside door which we could hear opening and closing all night, and the light fitting in the room rattled as the people in the room above moved around. We had a sleepless night.

a good choice in an area with few options. The rooms are nicely furnished and well maintained. Members of the staff were helpful - and well informed. We will certainly stay at this hotel in our future visits.

Excellent location being a street away from the Lygon street food strip. Walklng distance to Queen Victoria Markets, Exibition Centre and most importantly Royal Melbourne Hospital (12 minutes) which was the purpose of our visit.
