In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Clean, comfortable rooms — Guests consistently mention spotless bathrooms and well-maintained rooms with useful touches like a microwave, kettle and fridge.
- Excellent location — Close to the CBD, with a tram stop outside and a train station within walking distance. Prahran Market is about 6 km away.
- Free on-site parking — Private parking is free and staff help with it – a rare find in central Melbourne.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types have shared bathroom facilities; only the Family Private Bathroom Double Room has a private bathroom.
- Check-out at 09:00 — Check-out is early (09:00), which may be inconvenient for late sleepers or those with afternoon flights.
- No pets allowed — The property is strictly no pets, so if you’re travelling with an animal, this isn’t the place.
- Far from some airports — Reviews mention Essendon Fields at 19 miles and Tullamarine about 30 km away – not a quick hop if you need to catch a flight.

04 — Location
Getting around Melbourne
The property sits in Melbourne.
Getting around: A tram stop is right outside, and Gardiner train station is within walking distance – the city centre and CBD are about a 5-10 minute tram ride.
Nearby: Prahran Market is about 6 km away. Tooronga Park is a short walk, and a large public park is a 10-15 minute stroll from the property.
Practical notes: The Skybus to the airport stops nearby, which makes the trip to Tullamarine easier – though the airport itself is about 30 km away.
