位置很好，交通坐車方便，離墨爾本市中心和墨爾本大學都很近，房間比較小，跟學生公寓在一起的，總的還可以。

The room was clean and airy, the beds were so comfortable, and the bed linen was pristine. The Essence Hotel location was perfect for us. Would recommend to everyone,

The room is very new, the front desk staff is very friendly, and the location is very close to the city center. You can reach the city center by walking or taking the free tram. If the price is right, it is highly recommended!

The location was really good in that it was on the fringe of the city centre so it was easily walkable into the CBD. Fairly clean, there was a gym which I did not get to check out, good bang for buck, no extra amenities in the room such as mini bar etc.
