A lovely place to stay in Melbourne. Great location with easy walking access to Melbourne & Richmond. Beautifully presented retaining and displaying some of the buildings history. The billiard table is gorgeous & a great feature. Nice to have a game while enjoying the bar area.
Highly recommend it.

everything was perfect except our bed was uncomfortable (too soft and a bit like a canoe) and our pillows too soft. we asked for firmer pillows and more arrived but they were the same as the others. the bed was also too small...I would have thought all hotel rooms could use king sized beds by now? but these were minor in the scheme of things. I would still return. great room, and we asked for a room on the front and got it which was great (overlooking the street). loved the decor, and the bathrooms were nice. Lovely lobby too all round winner, (except for the pillows!)

The hotel has a couple of challenges that can't be solved such as the view out to a car park. However, the things the staff and management can control like the atmosphere and the service have taken me back at least 8 times in the last year. Perhaps if I were on holidays I MIGHT view other aspects differently but as a a place to stay on business, close to everything and where you feel welcome and not like a number. The staff are great with a special mention for the 2 young ladies (almost twins!) who serve breakfasts in the resturant - delightful!

Average is really the only way I can describe this Hotel. We booked for our last night in Australia before tackling the long journey back to London, and for our sins I guess, we had the worst night's sleep imaginable. The 'queen' beds are tiny, rooms slightly claustrophobic, and the aircon was incredibly loud and noisy. We were not informed of the black out blinds (very easy to miss with the very tall bay windows) so we were practically left with a room full of fluorescent light streaming in from the adjacent carpark. Yes, we too were given one of these less savoury rooms. The public spaces are a little dark and depressing, and again slightly short on service. In my dazed state during check-out at 6am in the morning I didn't notice that the receptionist failed to hand me back my credit card with the receipt. Only clocked what happened when we were checking in at the airport. A simple mistake, but one that really shouldn't have happened. Not good.
