Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise on Victoria Parade — Rooms overlooking the busy main road can be noisy, though double glazing helps reduce disturbance.
- Limited reception hours — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, and checkout opens as early as 07:00, which may not suit all schedules.
- Not ideal for light sleepers — Despite the extra glass, the street noise may still be bothersome for those sensitive to sound.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.

7Verified guest“The location was super convenient, with easy access to the city and delicious Vietnamese restaurants nearby. The pin locks made entering the hotel a breeze. The cleanliness and comfort exceeded my expectations, and it was clear that they put effort into making my stay enjoyable. The bar/lounge area served craft beers and tasty house-made pizzas. The friendly hostess/bartender made me feel welcome. A great experience in a lively neighborhood.”
7Verified guest“Service is good. The crew helped us get another hotel due to a system issue with our previous booking. Thanks a lot.”
7Verified guest“Sherpaz Restaurant, located 800 feet from the hotel, was a good choice to eat. An ideal base for a weekend in Melbourne.”
7Verified guest“The room was super clean and well-maintained, with no dust or dirt anywhere. The bed was comfortable and the blankets were in perfect condition. The hotel location was great, with easy access to St Vincent's Hospital. The bar and restaurant downstairs provided convenient dining options. The code system for room access was a nice security feature. Despite the noise from the main road, the extra glass helped to minimize the disturbance. The room had a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The step down in Room 7 was clearly marked with a sign.”
