Stayed for 4 nights, only cleaned once, and I went downstairs to request it. On the other 2 nights, I had to go get the bath towels myself. It was terrible.

This time I was taking my child to the University of Melbourne. This hotel is located in the student housing complex, and the hotel itself is mixed in with the student housing. The room was small and the facilities were simple. You had to bring your own slippers, toothbrush, and toothpaste. It's about the level of a domestic guesthouse, certainly not as good as a chain business hotel. If you're taking your child to school, it's indeed very close to the school, and transportation and shopping are also convenient.

The location is very good, with convenient transportation. It is close to Melbourne city center and the University of Melbourne. The room is relatively small and is next to the student apartment. Overall, it is okay.
