Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in Footscray, close to shops, bars, cafes, and public transport. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a great spot for what I needed.
The hotel is a gem for delicious food and exceptional service. The rooms may need a touch-up but were cozy and the staff was amazing. However, the dining options could be more diverse and the lack of a proper breakfast was a letdown. Great for its location near shops, bars, and cafes, with easy access to the city via a nearby bus stop.
