It is very close to the University of Melbourne and not far from the city center. My child is studying at the University of Melbourne and it is very convenient to look after him. Compared with other hotels in the surrounding area, it is very cost-effective.

Clean and tidy, the staff cleans the room every day. Although small, it has everything. The location is excellent, right near the children's apartment, it is super convenient to go to the center of Melbourne, and there is a beautiful park next to it. The children like to swing and slide there. It is also super convenient to go to Melbourne University. I also booked a one-day tour of Melbourne on Ctrip, and the designated place the travel agency asked me to go to was also very close. In short, the transportation is convenient, and it is very convenient to go to Melbourne University, Melbourne City Center, Victoria Library, the old train station, the cathedral, and Chinatown. You can walk there. The bus station is diagonally opposite, which is also very convenient. It is also close to the Asian supermarket.

The room is clean, but small and hard to find. However, it is very cost-effective. It is close to the University of Melbourne and Victoria Market, so it is convenient for travel.

I stayed there for 10 days and the horse tub was not cleaned. The coffee cups were not washed. The bed was only made and the sheets were not changed.

The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Rooms are small but clean. Location slightly outside of the free tram zone, on a street with lots of university students. Free water bottle refill at kitchen on the first floor.
