What Guests Say
WONDERFUL staff. Polite, helpful and efficient. Nice room with small fridge. Washers and dryers available in clean setting on reception floor, along with a little lounge and lending library. Also a connected kitchen for the adjoining longer stay guests that appeared available to all. Great location. Coffee shops, restaurants and places to buy odds and ends just steps away. Close to the free CBD trams, although I walked just about everywhere. Take a tram just for the experience

The location was great, quick and easy to get into the city centre via tram or foot. Several good food places are located around the area. Great to have parking available also.

The location was great, friendly staff, room was clean. Trams right out the front. Taxi fare to Southern Cross station was about $15. About a 10 min walk to Queen Victoria markets. The shower was nice and big with a rain showerhead.

For us it was a great central location to everything we wanted to do. Tram stops very close. Found the reception staff were always greeted us with a smile & very helpful with any of our questions. Even though we were in a front room we were impressed that we did not notice any outside traffic noise especially since the trams went past & stopped just down the road.

All I needed was a bed for the night so I didn’t have to drive home in the dark, but I got so much more from Essence Hotel. The staff were helpful and kind when I arrived at 10:30pm, there was undercover parking, the room was extremely clean and quiet and had everything I needed, the bed was really comfortable and the price was great. I’ll definitely stay there again!

location, room is clean, all amenities provided, fresh towels every day, lift access, wifi, parking in basement, no noise from other rooms, large TV in the room, lights can be switched off from the bed, floorboards means that there's less dust.

What breakfast l didn't know there was one. It would have been good to have been able to have breakfast before leaving for work.

A very short stay as I needed to be in the city for work. Cheap and cheerful, at the uni lodge. Room is clean, comfy, although a little chilly. Very reasonable for the price and the location and for single occupancy. :)
