Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers good value for money with basic but adequate rooms containing essential amenities like tea and coffee facilities and comfortable beds. However, the room size may be cramped for more than two guests.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, clean, and comfortable, but very small with a tiny bathroom. However, I had to lug two heavy bags up two flights of stairs which was a hassle. The service was a bit of a hit and miss; while they were very careful to accommodate my request for a ground floor room due to my inability to climb stairs, there was some evident frustration when I confirmed having heavy luggage. The staff, on the whole, were extremely helpful and obliging throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, being very close to the Terminal and convenient for a layover nap or a quick trip to Melbourne. On the downside, the dining options didn't impress me much, and the breakfast didn't look appealing. However, the price was reasonable, and the hotel had a good value for a short stay near the airport.
This hotel was perfect for what we needed before our flight - clean and tidy, with the option to buy breakfast in the morning. The rooms were a bit dark and small, but they had a kettle and fridge, even though milk wasn't complimentary.
The hotel offers a convenient location for overnight stays near the airport, with clean and comfortable rooms, but it lacks modern facilities and feels outdated. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the dining options are limited but decent.
Despite some issues with room temperature and size, the hotel is ideal for travelers with early flights due to its convenient location. The service was a bit lacking in emergency preparedness but adequate overall. The dining options were good value for money, and the facilities met expectations.
The hotel was a bit tight to fit three adults in the room with a bunk bed and a twin bed, and the room felt tired and not very clean. However, the location was perfect for my travel plans with easy access to buses and trains, close to the airport, petrol station, and McDonald's. The dining options were reasonably priced but limited, and the service was a mix of friendly and helpful interactions.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room felt cramped and had a strange odor, reminding me of sweaty armpits. However, the staff was extremely welcoming and nice, making me feel valued as a solo traveler. The location, although convenient for airport access, required a fair walk from the terminal. The dining experience was enjoyable, offering a good range of options for a decent price.
The location was perfect for easy access to the airport. The service was helpful, attentive, and courteous, with staff going the extra mile. However, the dining experience was not impressive, and the hotel lacked certain facilities.
My stay at the hotel was just what we needed before our flight - a clean and tidy place to rest. The room was a bit cramped with 2 single beds and an overhead bunk, not ideal for 3 adults. However, the location was perfect for travel convenience with friendly service, despite some misinformation about local dining options.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were tiny and very basic, with cleanliness concerns, but at least they had a fridge. The service was excellent and very helpful, especially in responding to my inquiries. The location was convenient for those with early flights, but difficult to walk to from the airport. Dining options were limited, but I felt safe at night. Overall, it was an average experience with some notable drawbacks.
The hotel gives a cozy ship's cabin vibe with clean and comfy rooms, but a bit cramped with luggage. The service is always wonderful and helpful, though the smoke alarm can be a hassle. Its location is fantastic for airport convenience, but thin walls may lead to noise disturbances. The dining experience is a pleasant surprise, especially at the great value of $9. Overall, a good pick for travelers on a budget looking for convenience.
My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms, although basic, had everything needed for a good night’s sleep, but they took a while to warm up, which was a bit challenging coming from Northern Queensland. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the airport, making it convenient for early morning flights. The dining experience was good but limited, and the prices seemed a bit high for what was offered.
I found the hotel conveniently located within the Melbourne airport complex, offering a comfortable bed but a bit pricey for the standards provided. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the adjacent airport McDonald's was handy.
The hotel may have a few drawbacks in terms of room size and heating, but it's like a cozy cabin on a boat. The service is friendly and supportive, although food orders may be a bit hidden under a bridge. The location is ideal for quick airport stays, but might be too close for comfort for some. The dining options are straightforward but lack protein choices. Overall, it provides good value for a short stay near the airport.
The hotel is conveniently located for airport travelers, offering simple rooms with all the basics needed for a comfortable stay. The service is friendly and professional, although assistance with luggage up stairs could be improved. The dining options are decent value for money. Noise from late self-check-ins can be a downside to consider.
