Nothing was really wrong with this place - but then again nothing was really right. This property looks to present itself as a hotel but they definitely are not - half the apartments are owned or leased permanently to smokers apparently (the stairwell always stank like cigarettes), and there are no amenities. My apartment was inexplicably not made up for... More

Ex location. Trams to city outside or a 20 min walk. Large well appointed rooms/apartments. some reconditioning ben done. Lots of extras. Friendly staff, hgere are restraunts within 5 minutes, There are NO other apartments anywhere nearby therefore these are in prime spot. We will return. Not over pricy for what and where. More

Though having read some of the negative reviews below, we stayed here and found the apartments to be good for a family of 5 - with adequate bedding that it hard to find in hotels. The furnishings were not 5 star luxury (beds are little more than a couple of mattresses on the ground), but as this was only required... More

This is the first bad review I have written on Trip Advisor but I feel very strongly that people should know that I'm sure they could find much better accommodation in Melbourne. The room and location were ok, although the stairwell stunk of cigerettes and the rooms themselves were only of average cleanliness. We stayed here for over a week... More

We booked a deluxe two bedroom apartment for three nights on Wotif before we read the reviews here. Initially we were quite apprehensive based on those reviews but were pleasantly surprised. There was indeed a strange smell in the hallways but none in the apartment which was all we cared about. The young man at the reception desk was very... More

Beware that what you book is not what you get. I booked a deluxe queen room the night before my arrival on the hotels own website. Upon my arrival I was given a room that was an unrenovated 2 bedroom apartment. There was limited furnishings, a leaking shower base which meant you had to stand in a puddle of water... More

This apartment block is well situated opposite a tram stop. The staff are unfriendly an unwelcoming. The apartment allocated was up on the 3rd floor with no lifts. No offer was made to help or enquire if any help was required to take suitcases up the stairs. The apartment is quite spacious as well as clean. The daily servicing was... More

On the 1st night a rat or possum had eaten bread stored in its plastic wrapping on the kitchen bench. No apologies - not even a new loaf of bread. Lights in the unit were intermittent and occasionally sparked at the switch. Returned one day to find 3 people had pulled out the d/washer etc presumably looking for the rat.... More

We booked this accom after deciding to drive from Sydney to melbourne to check out the titanic exhibition. After 11 hours on the road it was a welcome sight to arrive at our apartment. The word to describe my feeling when we walked into our room is "disappointed" On the web they say the rooms have been refurbished... Plus, we... More

We stayed in a deluxe apartment on the third floor in the same building as reception. Travelled with four other girls for a girlie shopping trip so two of us shared a bed. We managed with one bathroom as there were lots of mirrors about, even though one person had to sleep in a bed in the lounge room. Beds... More
