In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Highly rated rooms and service — Guests consistently give top marks here — Rooms and Service both sit at 9.2, with Staff close behind at 9.1. Reviews repeatedly praise the helpful, friendly team and the well-appointed, quiet rooms.
- Rooftop pool and spa area — A standout feature, mentioned often in reviews. Guests enjoy the rooftop pool, jacuzzi, sun terrace, and firepits with views — a welcome way to unwind after sightseeing.
- Well-equipped rooms with kitchenettes — Each room includes a kitchenette with tea and coffee facilities, cookware, and a dining table, plus a washing machine and dryer. This makes it easy to self-cater and feel at home.
- Convenient Collingwood location — About a 25-minute walk from the MCG, with easy access to trams and buses. The neighbourhood offers plenty of dining and shops within a short stroll.
- Quiet, restful rooms — Soundproofed rooms with double-glazed windows and blackout curtains contribute to peaceful nights, as several guests note. This is a real plus in a city stay.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Wi-Fi can be unreliable — One guest reported persistent Wi-Fi connectivity issues, making it difficult to work online. This appears to be an occasional rather than universal problem, but worth knowing if you rely on a stable connection.
- Roof top bar not always open — A review noted that the rooftop bar was closed during a stay, so it's not guaranteed to be available when you visit. The pool and terrace remain accessible regardless.
- Check-in window ends at 11:59 PM — Express check-in/out is available, but standard check-in runs from 2 PM to just before midnight. If you're arriving very late, plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — the hotel has a no-pets policy, which is common for city properties.
- Comfort rating is low — While most categories score above 8.7, Comfort sits at just 5.6 — a notable outlier. This could reflect uneven experiences, though reviews generally mention comfortable beds and quiet rooms.
