Reviews

  • Bernelle from South Africa (9/10)

    Great that there is shared kitchen facilities, the staff is very friendly and easy check in and check out. Central location. Will book again.

  • Melvyn from Australia (8/10)

    Bed was comfortable, cold water in the fridge

  • Ronan from Ireland (7/10)

    Friendly staff

  • Graham from Australia (8/10)

    Don't eat breakfast. Location excellent for purpose of attending Monnee Valley racecourse.
    All good, only minor criticism is the a/c was noisy – it did cool the room though.

  • Luciana from Australia (8/10)

    The staff were very friendly, special mention to Lucy who, when I arrived exhausted at 10am after a 34 hour flight, asked if I could check in early and she changed my room as the one I had been given was being cleaned and gave me the opportunity to go in and sleep. They didn't charge me anything extra. Super friendly.

  • Chantelle from Australia (7/10)

    The room was clean and spacious. The location was great, very close to Essendon train station and great cafes/restaurants.

  • Puspita from Australia (9/10)

    It’s clean and comfortable

  • Paul from Australia (7/10)

  • Guanjie from China (8/10)

    1. The staff are friendly and kind. The other day we wanted to visit Victoria Market but the staff told us it was Australia Day and it was closed. She was reallly helpful. 2. There was a public area where people can meet, which also provides a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and some coffee for free. Unlucky, we didn't have a chance to meet other people, they look quite busy. 3. The location is perfect. Train station and bus station are just around. Coles is ten minutes to walk.
