“This hotel in South Yarra pulses with a beat all its own, drawing on retro glamour and disco-era aesthetics. A playful disregard for convention shows up in everything from the themed suites to the spirited Latin bar. I think travelers seeking character will find it here in spades, especially those with pets in tow.”

dust problem cleaning issues

I found some things disappointing. there was dust everywhere. staff mentioned it's because of the air con, i don't know. also, there was product buildup in the shower. It seemed like they hadn't mopped or wiped properly. i think they should check on the cleaning more often.
