Frommer's "Colour your world -- or at least your stay in Melbourne -- the shades of Jasper (the gemstone) when you stay at this redeveloped YWCA hotel." Full review
Lonely Planet "Sports moody down-lighting, a veritable Pantone swatch-book of colours, louvered bathrooms and some lovely graphic soft furnishings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The old Hotel Y has never looked so good. Within a bagel’s throw of the Queen Victoria Market, this refurbished option offers light and pleasant boutique-style rooms."
Rough Guide "A complete design makeover has raised this YWCA-owned hostel, across the road from Queen Victoria Market, to boutique hotel status."
Fodor's "A former YWCA, the Jasper has undergone a radical face-lift, redesigned and polished to a shine." Full review
Time Out "Jasper Kitchen seats 50 and is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner...Chef Bruno Lima is liable to serve up anything from Vietnamese chicken salad to shitaake and truffle risotto." Full review
Frommer's "Sixteen new suites have been created on the hotel’s second level. This floor also has a guest courtyard, complete with artificial grass. Levels 2 and 3 also have small executive lounges" Full review
