This is a brilliant location, this is not a typical hotel. It’s a bunch of room with shared clean bathrooms and a clean well equipped communal kitchen. Evenings will get really loud due to the pub below. Like really really lounge However the places has tonnes of character.

Great place to stay. Location to local train station into the city was only two mins down the road. Local area had nice places to eat and drink. Only negative for me was that there was no hair dryers available other than that was great for the price 👍

Tucked away on a side street around the corner from Prahran station, this hotel is worth staying at. The rooms are comfortable and have all the necessities provided. Only 3 stops to Melbourne city by train, plenty of food and drink places to check out, and has a bar and restaurant downstairs. Staff are really nice and check in was easy and personable, shared kitchen and bathrooms were kept clean and no dramas.

This hostel is a really well located, the neighborhood it’s really lovely and near to the public transport services. Just is important to consider that underneath the hostel is pleased a really nice local pub and, mainly in Friday and Saturday, can be a little bit noisy.

Sam provides a really good offering for the ex back packers who don't want the price or fussiness of a hotel. A great pub with a varied customer base, always busy and has very pleasant helpful staff. Showers and kitchen serviced regularly by cleaning staff. Beds comfortable, nice towels and tea/coffee, kettle in the room. Washing and drying facilities a real plus.

Room was nice and tidy but so dirty under bed. Bathrooms/toilets were nice and clean. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would be nice to have air conditioning or a fan already in room.

I liked the historic old building. The little kitchen was very handy. Didn't like all the noise, and didn't like the faulty toilet door catch, ...and didn't like the huge lack of parking.

Cheap nights stay. Room is very clean but depending on how the other guests are the bathroom can be pretty bad. Either they aren't cleaned enough or other guests don't have the courtesy to leave the communal spaces tidy.

The location is convenient, close to train station and central, cheap price. There‘s no parking lot, you have to parking car beside the street and notice parking time. The water getting cold when we took a shower, it’s hard in winter.

Shower has no hot water. Warm water only constantly come out when the 1st floor pub is not in operation hours. Rest are all good. Good room, good bed for the price.

No mirror in room and no milk (powered or long life) for tea and coffee in room. Didn’t realise there was no TV in room. Once patrons left hotel it was very quiet. It was great as there was a shared kitchen with washer and dryer as well as iron and ironing board.

Staff is nice . It would be great to have hair dryer provided . Hotel still under renovation. The bread block my way out ( see the pic) . Not for bringing luggage as you need to carry them there climb the stairs . There is only one toilet and one shower place for all genders . No central heating . The bed blanket is thin
