Sora is in a convenient spot, close to the city and across the road from a nice park. Quick walk to tram, bus and trains. Room was nice, bathroom looked recently renovated. My only complaint is that the cleaning chemical smell in the room was very very strong and lingered the whole weekend. Parking available was listed on expedia info, however did not know that it was $40 a night until we checked in. Staff were very friendly :)

Clean rooms, the hallway at the entrance has an animal urine smell. The motel was bought out and the new owners are constantly updating and working on the rooms. The rooms were great for the price and location.

I have stayed here a few times now. The rooms are clean and the view out the window (East) has a beautiful charm. Shower is lovely. Close to IGA shop. My toy Cavoodle also enjoyed his stay! Will be back again soon!!

Love staying here !! Definately the place to be whilst in melbourne. High level of service and the overall quality of the stay from the room to the cafe downstairs is just great. After hours check in for people who are arriving late and they are flexible in case you need to extend or a specific of your stay changes. Couldnt recommend more

Clean room, welcoming staff and nearby to venues and public transport. Only issue was Executive King Suite bathroom pictures is only in 1 room. Bathroom provided was same as general room, which I would have instead booked had I known. Otherwise perfect stay.

No shops nearby but not far from the Smith Street area. Also trams nearby. I wouldn't really call this a hotel, more like a glorified hostel. The room was good but that is all I can say about the place. It is not staffed most of the time. Luckily there was someone at reception when I got there as a solo female traveller. There are no other facilities what so ever, no downstairs seating area or anything. Noisy at night and I could smell smoking from somewhere!

Verified review

4/10 Fair

Our room was at the top of the stairs and looked like an old cleaning room. There was only a sheer blind on the window which made the room quite light. The bathroom was tiny with no fan or handle on the bathroom door. There was mould on the roof of the bathroom and the walls needed a good clean. There were also no mugs or cups in the room despite having tea and coffee supplies. The room was dusty. Not worth the money spent.

4/10 Fair

Pretty awful place really. Car park is a shambles and the room is basic at best, but really old and dated. The smell of the cleaning products used was awful. Looks like they have started some much needed refurb in other rooms, but mine was felt like something you could rent for the hour…
Verified review

4/10 Fair

My biggest issue was a dripping/running tap in the bathroom that could be heard from the moment I entered my room and could not be turned off. I went down to front desk and informed the gentleman at front desk who looked at my booking and told me that as I was there only for the one night he would add a note and deal with it in the morning after I left. Even after explaining that it could be heard from the bedroom and couldn't be turned off he repeated he would deal with it in the morning. I used a face washer in the sink to dull the sound but it made for a long unpleasant night pre-surgery. Secondly, when leaving in the morning I noted that the front door was not locked and couldn't be secured. There is no point giving a building access card if the front door doesn't lock and anyone can gain access.
