Pegasus Apart'Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in Melbourne. You are close to the tram network and one street over to the Queen Victoria markets. Would definitely stay here again. Was travelling with a friend and we got a 2 bedroom apartment for a really good price. The common area was very roomy and had everything we needed in the kitchen."

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Southern Cross駅から近く、スーパーも徒歩ですぐ、立地が優れていました！建物自体は多少古いですが、このお値段でこの広さであれば満足です☺︎ 22:00にメルボルン空港到着し、スカイバスに乗り、23時頃Southern Cross駅に到着しました。人通りはそこそこあり、ホテルまでの道のりもそんなに不安を感じることはありませんでした。ホテルはSouthern Cross駅とは反対側の道沿いですが、駅を出てすぐに信号を渡らずに、まずは駅沿いに歩きトローブストリートの交差点で渡ったほうが道が広く歩き安いと思います！アメニティはシャンプーコンディショナーミニ石鹸のみ。歯ブラシは無しです。シャワーヘッドは固定、水圧は少し弱めです。スマートTVなので、Netflix、Amazon prime接続可能です。Wi-Fi電波は弱めでした。ホテルスタッフの愛想は最低限、バスルームの掃除は正直雑でしたが、立地とコスパを重視する人には良いホテルだと思います。以上、簡単ですが、参考になれば幸いです。"
