A bit on the dirty side, clearly an old building underneath everything. Not especially secure entry. Swanston St is pretty noisy in the evening. But hey, it’s cheap.

The man at reception was very unpleasant. No hello just said ‘ID and debit card’ should not be in the job. Room was unclean and you could barely see out the window they were that dirty. Definitely wouldn’t stay there again

The bed was comfortable but the room was grubby and poorly maintained. The TV didn't work properly and the only chair to sit on was basic and uncomfortable. No staff after 5 o'clock made it feel a little unsafe returning alone in the evening.

Seamless check-in and check-out. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. However, the toilet seat was missing, the bathroom exhaust didn’t work and the TV didn’t work. That said, I got the most amazing price. Now I know why! But given the knock down price, I really can’t complain.

Convenient location BUT!!!! Checked in late so no staff to speak to. The room smelled of mould. The blanket was filthy. Only two pillows and they were so thin we had to fold them over to sleep on them. But the worst thing was the noise!!! All night there was random yelling out, sirens and arguments from the street. We were on the second floor so the windows obviously haven't been upgraded to double glaze! 7 am in the morning, a diesel generator started up. Never again.

Room neglected. Dust build up on carpet at edges of room. Dust not wiped out of glass-fronted cupboards. Dust and dust moths under bed. Airconditioner beeped when plugged in but did not work. TV obtained signal through the internet. I managed about 1 minute of free to air news before the message of No internet connection appeared, and remained. Toilet paper holder was empty, so I had to open a new roll, but could not work out how to get roll into the holder. Just because it is a room with a single bed does not mean it can be ignored.
