St. Peter's Church

It was an ok room but I think there are better options in and around Melbourne. I definitely wouldn't stay again. It is tidy, but run down. The room is clean enough, there is a tv, tea, coffee & a kettle provided with creamer & a small bar fridge. When I went to wash my hair, there was no shampoo in the refillable bottle they have on the shower wall - I had already wet my hair so I had to wash it with soap. I was left with a rat's nest. Then when I went to dry my hair, the hairdryer was only blowing cold air & in desperation, I just had to pull my hair back in a pony tail. There was no time to ask the staff to replenish or bring a replacement as I was in a rush to check out. Their gym facilities are woeful - it should not even be advertised that a gym exists here. The treadmill was broken (error message, turned it off and back on & it started running at 20 miles an hour and I nearly fell over and then it returned to error message). Turning it back off and on again yielded the same result. The exercise bike was also broken - with a constant beeping sound if you did decide you wanted to work out. I got to 6 minutes and decided my state of mind couldn't take it. You couldn't change any settings &you couldn't manipulate the seat height either. There was a step machine that I didn't even bother using &one other weights machine. The gym is on the top (10th) floor which is dark, dim and like a ghost town. Don't bother. I ended up going for a walk instead. The staff were pleasant.

This isn’t the property’s fault at all but the bins and skips were emptied on the street outside from 4:30am on Friday morning for over 90 minutes so that was the end of sleep for the night. The flat I had was nice. Not modern but that’s part of the charm. Lovely high ceilings. Great location for my morning Yarra River run.
