Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

The staff at this hotel are excellent and friendly, with many reviews praising their helpful and welcoming attitude. The location is great, with many shops, restaurants, and public transport options nearby. The fitout and decoration are unique and funky, adding an artistic flair. The rooms are of high quality with comfortable and exceptional beds.

Few guests have reported inconsistent room cleaning, and minor issues with street and nightclub noise. Family rooms have a bit worn-out furniture that can affect privacy and comfort.

    “Big rooms, great location! ”

    Great rooms when travelling with kids - two bed areas with a living room/ kitchen in the middle. Both beds had tvs which was very handy. Pillows were super comfortably. Laundry facilities are on each floor. Only concern I had with the room was the arty frosted glass wall which looks great but doesn’t leave much to the imagination when someone is using the bathroom . Opposite Prahran Markets where you will find great iced coffees, pastry’s, donuts, Mexican, fresh produce and bits and pieces. Two nightclubs opposite but noise isn’t a problem - didn’t hear anything. Car park is small, not very many spaces, and can be a bit tight. We moved twice due to a leaking ceiling in the bathroom, and an equivalent style room not available the first time we needed to move. Staff were great about finding an alternative room very quickly, handled it very professionally and great customer service. We will definitely be staying here again!

    “Great Hotel with great Location”

    Stayed there for 4D/3N. The check-in experience was smooth. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. All amenities were there. Just the bathroom needs a little more privacy as it’s all glass & translucent, so might be uncomfortable for some. A drop down curtain will fix that (suggestion to hotel). The hotel is close to all hot spots, clubs and convenience stores. Overall recommended and will visit again.

    “The location is excellent, and the surrounding commercial area is really good.”

    I was surprised because the bathroom was opaque, but it has a small built-in kitchen which makes it great for long stays. Additionally, the accommodation has a significant locational charm due to the Prahan area :) I totally recommend it♡

    “Good location. ”

    Stayed here in mid December for a week. Location wise is pretty good. Walking distance to Woolies, across Prahran market, and ample of cafés restaurants around. Room size is ok for 2 persons, but a bit pricey for a one Bedroom Studio Suite. South Yarra is a vibrant area, so if you're aiming for peace and quiet, this hotel is not for you. There are a few clubs along the Chapel St, some with rooftop bars. From our room which has a balcony, we could hear music, laughters, from parties up until midnight or so. Not to mentioned the tram bells noise every 30 mnts. But we have expected this already and don't really mind. Just a heads up for people who look for quiter accommodation. All in all we're quite happy staying here.
