artistic retreat success
central locationgreat kitchenettevietnamese restaurantcomfortable bed
The location is superb. Prahran market sits directly across the road, very handy. i loved the kitchenette, it has a fridge and microwave, great for snacks. the staff recommended a vietnamese restaurant downstairs for dinner, it was very nice. the bed was comfortable. the room felt spacious.
the pillows were all too soft for me, even stacking all four wasn't supportive enough.

My studio suite king provided ample space. the room was well sound insulated. I didn't hear neighbors. a nespresso machine with several coffee pods allowed for convenient morning starts.. towels were fluffy.

the unique artwork throughout the hotel enhanced the experience. i appreciated being able to open a window for fresh air. opting out of housekeeping for a bottle of wine was a nice touch.
Dining
8/10
while the hotel restaurant and bar were closed, a recommended vietnamese restaurant downstairs more than compensated. many amazing restaurants and coffee shops exist nearby, each with a vibrant atmosphere.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues
convenient locationspotty room serviceworn fittings
The location was convenient for exploring the nearby markets.
I had a few problems. The room service was spotty. For four days straight, they seemed to operate on a schedule I couldn't crack. several fittings looked worn. The fridge door struggled to stay shut, and it made a racket. I suspect the ice maker was partly to blame!
