I absolutely loved my stay at this cozy hotel! The rooms, although small, were perfect with a private kitchen, extremely clean, modern, and even had a fun vibe. The only downside was not having a personal kettle and fridge in the room, and not being able to trust the public fridge to store my food.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The fantastic location near great restaurants was a big plus. The rooms, though incredibly comfortable, were quite warm and stuffy. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the tiny rooms made it hard to store belongings. Despite these drawbacks, the proximity to transportation and dining options made the location quite convenient.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were really comfortable and clean, perfect for families, but the air conditioning was a bit unreliable, turning off in the middle of the night and making the room stuffy. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was excellent, close to the vibrant Smith Street for entertainment. The dining experience lacked details, but the facilities were great overall.

The hotel is in a perfect location next to South of Johnston, ideal for Fitzroy/Collingwood activities, and just a quick walk to the trams and Smith Street Collingwood for entertainment. The rooms were a bit small, but the service was excellent and the people were caring and helpful. The dining offered fresh, made-from-scratch pizza. A good choice for a stay in a metered residential area.

The hotel is in a convenient location in Collingwood, close to Smith Street and excellent restaurants. The rooms are rather small and feel somewhat restrictive, similar to a shipping container in layout. The service provided was exceptional with friendly and respectful staff. The dining options, particularly the muffins, were satisfactory. The hotel offers flexible check-in and check-out times and allows guests to use the fridge on trust basis, which is a nice touch.

The hotel was super clean and immaculately clean, perfect for our needs. The rooms, although quite small, were kept tidy, but hanging towels became a bit of a challenge without fresh ones daily. The service, while always smiley and welcoming, lacked proper directions to nearby attractions like the MCG, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Fitzroy, close to various cafes, shops, and bars. The facilities were not specified.
