Location wise, very good. But the room was quite tricky, looks very good on photos but not in person. Anyhow, we had a very good stay.

Good: hard to say any. Sheet looks clean and washed? Bad: Appears dodgy, 2 of the 3 lifts look outdated, lift smells like urine/other matter that hasn't been cleaned in long time. Offensive language in lift that looks it has been there for a long time, broken emergency phone cord in lift for serious fire safety hazard/unable to use emergency lift phone. Misaligned window that had a considerable gap -made it much colder (depending on season) and noisier (note there is an old fan, not sure if works or not.

Dirty, mouldy, tiny and dodgy. It’s got to be illegal to have a room for hire to be this poor of condition. Black mould in the shower and sink, broken tiles, dirt all through the floor, bed doesn’t fit in the room properly, knees hit the wall when sitting on the toilet (I’m less than 6ft), tap water was milky, and the list goes on. I’d recommend anyone looking at this apartment to look elsewhere. Absolutely disgraceful.

Location in free tram zone that is highly accessible to any places in Melbourne. Hotel will contact you if you're arriving after check-in hours or you will need to email them to inform on your arrival time. Guidelines will be given by hotel. In the room, you will get basic toiletries, free instant coffee/tea/sugar/creamer/milk, microwave, mini fridge, hair dryer, iron, and towels.

City Square Motel is located on Swanston Street, the most convenient street in Melbourne CBD, where lots of free trams are available right downstairs. With a walking distance you can get to many famous tourist attractions, including the most iconic Flinder Train Station. The room was equipped with an air con, a microwave, a toaster, and some utensils, ideal for those who want to heat up food. However, its biggest drawbacks are the cleanliness and old amenities. I saw stains on the carpet, on the table, and on the bathroom floor. Some socket were out of use. One of them even got the buzz noises while I was trying to plug in the hair dryer. The toilet was leaking, with water running all day. Repair needed.
