I had an amazing stay at the hotel. The rooms were very well-appointed with everything I could ask for at a very reasonable price. The staff was lovely and extremely helpful, especially when we had to drop our bags early for our wedding. The balcony overlooking Wesley College was a great touch, and the bed and pillows were lovely. The location was convenient, close to the Botanical Gardens and Melbourne CBD. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely come back again.
