YTI GARDEN HOTEL, Melbourne – A Smart Stay in the City

The hotel had a fantastic location in the Melbourne CBD, making it easy to get around, but the noise from the alley was a downside. The rooms were very clean and spacious, overlooking the street, although they could use a makeover and a microwave oven would have been convenient. The service was a mix - the receptionist was lovely and helpful, while others were rude. The hotel's central location was perfect for exploring the city's laneways and for an early departure after a night out. The dining options, though limited in gluten-free products, were available in the room until after lunch.

The hotel had some issues with the rooms being a bit dirty and old but the service was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient despite some noise concerns. The dining options were available, though not outstanding.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Despite the slightly tired rooms that lacked servicing upon request, the presence of a window was a plus. The hotel's service was top-notch with helpful and efficient staff, although laundry services were noted. The location was incredibly convenient, perfect for exploring Melbourne easily, but a minor letdown was the dining options. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

I stayed at the hotel located directly over Little Bourke Street, which was incredibly noisy until the early morning and had some issues that need attention. While the room had various facilities like an electric kettle and comfortable bed, I felt it wasn't the best value for the money spent.

The hotel is conveniently located in Melbourne city, close to transport, restaurants, and shops, making it an excellent choice for exploring the area. The rooms might need a makeover and are a bit small, but the staff goes out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. However, there were some issues with the smell in the rooms, which was a downside.
