Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated on Torook Street next to South Yarra train station, among excellent restaurants, making it a convenient location close to the city center and the train station. I found the kitchen area easily accessible and enjoyed the proximity to various dining options. However, due to what seemed like a short-staffed situation, our simple requests were not promptly fulfilled. The service, although overwhelmed, managed to provide excellent service overall, yet I believe more staff would enhance the experience. The hotel offers included homemade dishes, which added a lovely touch to the dining experience. The rooms are located on level 20, offering amazing views, equipped with an overhead fan in the bedroom and a balcony, which added a charming feature to the stay. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, with a well-maintained pool area for enjoyment. The price could be considered a good value for money deal considering the amenities provided.
I found the hotel incredibly conveniently located right in the city center next to South Yarra train station. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay with convenient cooking facilities, although I wished there were more staff available to cater to our needs. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the delicious marmalade served. However, I felt that the service might have been better if there were more staff available.
The hotel offers a stunning view of the entire Melbourne skyline from a spacious balcony. However, the neighboring balcony only revealed old bedding. The service was lacking, seemingly overwhelmed and understaffed, unable to fulfill simple requests. The location, while close to South Yarra station, was a bit noisy due to the nearby railroad. The dining experience included freshly caught fish. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but the service fell short due to apparent understaffing. The location was convenient, close to the train station and lively neighborhood. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities met my expectations.
The hotel is conveniently located next to South Yarra train station, surrounded by excellent restaurants. The rooms are cozy with a view of old bedding stored on the neighbor's balcony but offer fresh air access. The service was a bit overwhelmed, possibly due to understaffing, yet they managed to provide excellent service. Dining included vermicelli and the facilities were satisfactory with a kitchen area found. The hotel is just a stone's throw away from South Yarra train station, making it a breeze to reach Aussie Open tennis. However, being out of the city center, it may be a tad noisy due to nearby building work.
