The Arrow is what is promoted as, Budget, situated just outside the free tram zone, but very walkable to all parts of Melbourne. This is the second we have stayed here, so pretty good value for money. Near the University and Chinese quarter so many place to eat.

Nothing redeeming about this hotel. Slow check in, terrible smell in the corridors, small bathroom, television on top of fridge, etc. The worst part is the hotel uses fake photos to mislead their customers.

This hotel is disgraceful and needs to be fully investigated, the grime in these rooms are shocking. Dried blood, spilt drinks, filth on every surface. Nothing like the photos advertised. Would NEVER recommend this to anyone. Management have made no attempt to process our promised refund despite us checking out within 12 hours of arriving.

Wasn't able to open the fridge if the front door was closed, because the door handle is in the way. Was hoping a better city view, but we got the inside of the building room, so all we saw were the balconies/back side of other buildings. But nonetheless, good price for good location.
