adequate but flawed stay

the room was spacious and clean, appreciated.
I encountered poor room service with no follow-up for four days. I think there was a qr code ordering thingy that i found out about on the last day.

Convenient location near Prahran market

great location complimentary wine laundry service
The hotel location is close to Prahran market and shopping on Chapel street. I found the hotel quiet. Opting out of housekeeping resulted in a complimentary bottle of wine. The guest laundry service cost only two dollars and it provided really good value.
I found the pillows too soft. All four stacked did not provide enough support.
Location
9/10
The hotel provides easy access to shopping and dining destinations in the area. It sits directly across from the Prahran Market, a detail that adds convenience . The location outside the city center offers a unique experience.
Rooms
8/10
The room design features interesting décor. The inclusion of a coffee machine is a plus. A fridge offers additional convenience for storing beverages and snacks. The provision of sufficient space and quietness are important factors.
Dining
10/10
The minibar offers good wine available for purchase. That enables guests to unwind. The option to opt-out of housekeeping in exchange for wine is a great idea. A kitchenette is rare to have in the hotel, it is very convenient.

helpful staff street parking great location dirty cutlery dusty room faulty light
the location WAS great. It was just off chapel street, easy to get around. The staff was also very nice and helpful, I appreciated their assistance. There was plenty of street parking AVAILABLE too.
i found the room quite dusty. The sheets and towels WERE clean, BUT corners of the room were really dirty. Some of the cutlery was pretty dirty as someone had used it and not cleaned it, which i disliked. the light for the fan in the bathroom didn't always turn on, it was annoying.
