The Kinson

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff, clean room."

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel exceeded my expectation, check-in was easy, they even had the electronic checkin. The room was nice, the bathroom very clean, the hotel as a whole was clean and tidy. And really limited noise in my room. I didn’t have the breakfast in the end but they advertised some really reasonably priced breakfasts. I was attending something at convention centre and it was so convenient.. I would well recommend. "

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and tidy, all amenities worked and the bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly, and the laundry facilities worked well. Hotel is located within easy walking distance of a supermarket (for those prefering to self-cater), several transport options and the Queen Victoria Market, though is a bit of a trek to the main CBD attractions and excursion pick-up points if walking."
