8.2Verified guest“The hotel was in a favourable location really close to Rod Laver Arena and the Melbourne CBD, as well as the MCG and AAMI Stadium. We could also enjoy a drink at The Cliveden Bar & Dining, located about 1 mile away.”
8.2Verified guest“Well-organised and high quality room with a decent-sized bathroom. In a fantastic location, a 20-minute walk to the train station, and in a lovely quiet area.”
8.2Verified guest“Great and lovely location for our visit to an Australian sports stadium, about a 10–15 minute walk from the hotel. Walking distance to a supermarket and convenience stores across the street. Neat and functional room with a fairly clean bathroom, instant coffee, a lounge, and climate control.”
8.2Verified guest“We loved the lounge room space and that the second bedroom was separate from the lounge. The restaurant/bistro at the base of the hotel was great. We loved the position, so close to our venue at Rod Laver Arena.”
8.2Verified guest“The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and although it was small, it was a good size for just me and my partner. The food from the restaurant was fantastic. Good selection of TV channels and a very comfortable bed to sleep in.”
