  • Ching from Hong Kong (9/10)

    The reception staff was super friendly and she gave very useful advice on traveling in Mel: like what places to go, how to take the transport there.
    The room is also very clean and spacious.
    It is a quiet neighborhood around the hotel, but you could also easily reach a street full of nice restaurants in 5 mins. If you want to go to the city. It is only a 10-15mins walk if you don't want to buy a Myki card (transportation card) for the local transport. 5mins only to the closest tram station too.
