    I truly appreciated the hotel's accessible layout and the friendly staff. The tastefully decorated common areas made me feel right at home. It was comforting to know everything was nearby, making my stay effortless and enjoyable.

    Shower space could be more accommodating for seniors.

    convenient location
    narrow shower
    temperature fluctuations

    The location is convenient for public transport.

    My stay was disappointing due to several issues. The shower space was incredibly narrow and hard to navigate, especially in the morning when the temperature fluctuated unpredictably. I had the unpleasant experience of struggling to fit into the shower and endured scalding hot water followed by icy cold bursts. It felt like the hotel was not accommodating to the needs of guests, particularly those who might require a bit more space.

    limited privacy

    The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk to everything! 🌟 The only downside was the small shower space, which could be a bit tricky for older guests.

    welcoming atmosphere
    convenient location
    comfort amenities
    small shower
    poor maintenance

    Check-in was smooth and the staff friendly, which made for a welcoming arrival. The room was clean, cozy, and satisfied my needs for a short stay. Daily room service was a pleasant surprise, with fresh towels and toiletries replenished daily. Despite the room being a bit small, it had everything necessary for comfort. I appreciated the location near public transport and dining options. it was super convenient to get around. However, I did struggle a bit with the shower space, as it felt cramped, especially for someone of a larger size. I also noticed that the heater in my room took a while to get fixed, which wasn't ideal during my nine-night stay. The bathroom could use a deep clean too. some areas looked a bit worn out. I would consider returning for the price and location, but I hope for improvements in maintenance and room space.

    cozy room
    free wi-fi
    nice sun terrace
    compact shower

    I loved how cozy my room was, and the free Wi-Fi really helped me catch up on work! There’s a nice little sun terrace where you can relax with a drink. The pool area is perfect for unwinding after a long day. The shower was pretty compact, but it didn't ruin my stay—it was still a solid place to rest my head for the night! 😊

    poor cleanliness

    However, the Shoebox Double Room could use some serious updating. Dust piled on top of the wardrobe and behind the TV, while the windows were filthy. Noise from the street can be pretty overwhelming since the lack of double glazing lets it all in. The smells coming from the bathroom were also distracting, significantly affecting my comfort during my stay. Considering the price, it felt a bit steep for what was offered, especially with the room being small and lacking some charm.

    During my recent stay at Best Western in Melbourne, I found the location fantastic, just steps away from vibrant trams and restaurants. The staff's warmth and helpfulness made a significant impact. The shower space felt quite cramped. A pleasant experience worth repeating.

    The staff were friendly and really helpful. I had a wonderful experience when they stored my bags for me while I was out exploring the place.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but I'd say it was still acceptable for a quick trip.
