“The location is undeniably convenient, a stone's throw from the railway station and downtown; friendly staff further enhances the experience. While perhaps not a traditional four-star experience, the property holds a certain budget-friendly appeal for those seeking a central Melbourne base, and blending historical charm and modern amenities in all guest rooms. It's a practical choice for short stays if location matters most.”
