It's a great location, easy to get around the city. The reception staff are lovely. :))
The view is always lovely if you have a view over Flagstaff Gardens as you get to see the sun go down. The windows are filthy however and because the sun comes in and goes down in that direction it's even more noticeable but okay if the weather is good and you have the door open anyway. When you close the sliding door to the balcony it's very quiet which is great as you don't hear outside traffic.
It's quite outdated now (I stayed years ago) They could certainly do with rooms being refreshed, needs updated furniture, (the greenish chair was fabric worn, a stainless steel coffee table was old and didn't look clean. the carpet is old, clean but old, had 2 obvious stains although it was clean. The bathroom outdated, it's a basic functional bathroom but has no style and awful lights for make up (fluros) etc. Water pressure was good in my room. etc The bed was comfortable. The pillows were not good. They were hard and I couldn't get comfortable with them. First nights sleep was not good due to pillows. I should have taken my own. I ended up grabbing a black throw blanket fromthe cupboard for the following night and used that rolled up and has a better night's sleep.
There is zero information in the room if you are new to Melbourne. Like zero, nothing etc not a problem for as I know Melbourne but if you were new to Melbourne it would be nice for people to at least have some guides/maps etc
