Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in closes early — Check-in is only from 2 PM to 7:30 PM, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The motel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Limited breakfast portions — One reviewer mentioned the in-room breakfast was sufficient but noted small portions, such as a single Vegemite sachet for four people.
- Price higher than area average — At £164 per night, it sits above the area's average rating of 8.0, though guests still found it good value for the location and amenities.

8.1Verified guest“The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help, especially when we needed to leave the car parked a bit longer for a hospital visit. The room was nice and cozy, and the in-room breakfast setup was appreciated. It was plenty for us, though I could have used more than one small sachet of Vegemite for four people. The location was perfect for the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and we enjoyed the free off-street parking.”
8.1Verified guest“A plus here is the nicely furnished, good-sized rooms with a shower and hair dryer. The location is central, right next to two tram lines, Queen Victoria Market, hospitals on Royal Parade, restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops, and the Comedy Lounge. It was central to everything.”
