This is a brilliant location, this is not a typical hotel. It’s a bunch of room with shared clean bathrooms and a clean well equipped communal kitchen. Evenings will get really loud due to the pub below. Like really really lounge However the places has tonnes of character.

Room was ok initially but found an old dominoes box and other junk under the bed when I was leaving. The rest of the place is filthy and often the bathroom as well.

Great place to stay. Location to local train station into the city was only two mins down the road. Local area had nice places to eat and drink. Only negative for me was that there was no hair dryers available other than that was great for the price 👍

Solo stay · For leisure

Tucked away on a side street around the corner from Prahran station, this hotel is worth staying at. The rooms are comfortable and have all the necessities provided. Only 3 stops to Melbourne city by train, plenty of food and drink places to check out, and has a bar and restaurant downstairs. Staff are really nice and check in was easy and personable, shared kitchen and bathrooms were kept clean and no dramas.
