10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and value for money"

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Although it’s a small apartment hotel, it’s cozy, clean, and has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room was well-maintained, and the kitchen was fully equipped with complete utensils, making it easy for us to cook our own breakfast. It’s a simple yet charming place that feels like home. Overall, a cool and convenient apartment hotel—I would definitely recommend it for travelers looking for a comfortable stay."

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location and very convenient for getting around the CBD. However, there were a few issues during my stay. The breakfast experience on the first day was disappointing, as the staff member overseeing the breakfast area was not particularly welcoming or helpful. The air conditioning in the room was also not working properly. Most concerning was that a staff member entered the room using a pass key without knocking first, which felt intrusive and uncomfortable, especially since the bed is directly visible from the doorway. Future guests may wish to keep these points in mind."
