101 Brunswick Commons boutique lodge | king Bed | private ensuite | large kitchen | Fast Wifi | 24 security | 18 mins to CBD

A kettle with no cups is just annoying Positive: Spotlessly clean room in rundown depressing property Negative: Looks like this can’t possibly be the place from the outside. The taxi driver didn’t want to drop me off

Comfy room with shared kitchen amenities, overall very good value for money. Positive: Newly renovated, clean room, comfy bed & shared kitchen facilities, uncomplicated check-in and check-out. Located right at the terminal stop of Tram 96. Negative: Some of the compartments in the shared kitchen were not accessible due to broken locks. Overall, this was just a minor issue.

Small room, comfortable bed, small bathroom with tiny sink - can't wash your face. Negative: Did not like the concept of not learning the address of the stay until after the check-in process. You don't know where you are staying (except for the post code) until after check-in on the morning of the stay. Also had to deal with three different vendors: 1. Booking.com 2. a vendor that verified the card I was going to use for the payment, and 3. a vendor that collected ID and personal info to check-in. Too much hassle.
