positive:
Neat and tidy
Most visitors were pleased to find their rooms were well-appointed and cleaned to very high standards on a daily basis. You can be sure that after a long day of sightseeing, or just out on the town, you will come back to a room that's fresh, airy and clean.
positive:
Easy access to public transport
If you are reliant on buses and trams, then you will find this location really convenient. Toorak Station is a short stroll from the accommodation, and the bus stop is within an easy two-minute walk.
positive:
Welcoming atmosphere
From families, to couples, to solo travellers, everyone will receive a warm welcome from the front desk. And if you happen to arrive with your pets, they too will be most welcome. Visitors said they felt comfortable and relaxed during their stay here.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking is a battle
If you arrive to look for a parking during the busiest time of the day, then it's more than likely you won't find one. The parking area is quite small, and if you don't get in early in the afternoon, you will find yourself out on the street.
negative:
Rooms not up to sctratch
Guests found the rooms on the tired side, and were disappointed to find that lamps didn't have bulbs in, or the bulbs were fused, walls were dirty, and the cleanliness level was generally unacceptable. There's also no lighting overhead, just the bedside lamps available.
negative:
Disturbing sleep
If you are a light sleeper, then it's possible you may have some trouble getting a good night's sleep. There are many bars and night time entertainment in the area, and noisy patrons tend to make more racket than is necessary when heading back home.
