“Overpriced and generaly disapointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Picked this hotel because of the good reviews on trip and visor and location. Prices where relativley high, not sure if they were a bit over inflated because the tennis that was on.

Had discussed the possibility of an early check in the day prior, and was told they would do there best but no promises which was fine. When we arrived the next day the receptionist was grumpy and unhelpful and just kept saying that check in was at 2.

The studio apartment was small, and didn't have a nice feel to it. There was a dirty rubbish bin in our cuboard, the douvay which was just between 2 sheets was full of stains. Every time we showered the bathroom flooded. Maintence people just appeared in our room on several occasions to fix the door. No one had let us know, and ther response to just walking in was the do not desturb sign wasn't up. After that we tried to leave the sign up, but the sign disappeared. No free wifi in the room which would have been nice. There was no dishwasher, and dishes where not done when the room was serviced. Overall thought it was terrible value for money, would not stay here again and can not figure out how it had got reasonable reviews.

Good Morning,

Thank you for your comments on Trip Advisor in relation to your stay with us at Central Sky Lounge Hotel. I am disappointed that you have not enjoyed your stay with us, and I have also address cleaning issues in late January with my team of room attendants. During peak periods all Hotels do increase the room rates, you will find this all over the world when it is peak season the rates are always higher. We have had many maintenance issues resolved and again i do apologise for my team walking into your apartment without advising you first. I would very much like to discuss your issues personally - Please feel free to contact me directly at anytime, and i do hope that we can have you back at the Hotel to enjoy the wonderful experience that we strive to provide daily to our customers

“Room was better than I expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

We booked a night at Central Sky Lounge as part of a Scoopon Experience. We had a bit of trouble redeeming our Scoopon as they only take a limited number on weekends.
Our Studio Room was good and considerably better than I had expected. There was a small kitchenette. The bathroom was quite well appointed.
Our package included breakfast which was fairly basic.
The day that we stayed there were major problems with their keycard system. We had to have 3 separate lots of keycards before one actually worked. Other people also had troubles too.
Several people in other reviews commented that the staff seemed disinterested. We came across a couple of staff who matched this description. However, Barbara was very friendly and helpful despite being extremely busy.
A top location very close to the Queen Vic Market.

The rooms are a good size and the kitchenette is a bonus. Service staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location, near the Queen Vic Markets and only a short stroll to good shopping areas.

Room Tip: Westerly aspects are hotter during the summer months

“Love this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

I have been in a conference in Melbourne and Melbourne Uni chose this hotel for all the participants.

I was in one of the apartment rooms and found the kitchen area together with all the appliances very handy to use. The hotel is right next to the Queen Victoria Market and several tram stops are closely located to the hotel totally within pleasant walking distance. The breakfast buffet was sensational and the staffs there were very friendly.

The only downside of this hotel is about the comfortableness of the bed and pillows. To be frank, I could not fall asleep during the first night. I hope the management team could replace the current bedding thingy with better ones otherwise it would be a pity considering the rooms' modern and stylish look.

Room Tip: Choose a room which locates close to the dinning hall so you could get access to the wifi signal all...

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

Stayed here for two nights. Lovely fresh, clean apartment. All mod cons you need but so close to Queen Vic market and very short walk into CBD. Lots of lovely cafes and restaurants close by. Well priced for a city location. Would definitely stay again.
