“Great location, lovely rooms, fantastic service!”

I would recommend staying here if you were in Melbourne. I had a one bedroom place, with my friend and the room was clean, quiet and the service was fantastic. I had breakfast once while staying there and the food was lovely. Highly recommend and will be staying here when visiting Melbourne again.
