I recently stayed at the Kooyong Hotel for two nights. The room was as advertised, clean, and air-conditioned, which made for a comfortable stay. It was also convenient to have a bar attached to the hotel. However, there were a few issues that detracted from the experience. The broken shower window with two missing louvers. The open bathroom louvers without screens also proved problematic, allowing two cockroaches to make their way into my room.
Additionally, the front door was difficult to open and close. I had to put my shoulder into it to open it, and I had to slam it shut when leaving, which got worse following the swelling of the door after it rained. Finally, I was concerned to learn that the rooms are made of asbestos, which may be a health risk. Overall, while the hotel has some positives, the issues I experienced may give me pause when considering staying there again.
