“Loved it, Loved it, Loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Just completed a 2 night stay, it was great we just didn't have enough time there. Room wasn't ready on arrival. This I expected as it was following the AFL Grand final and we were early, got to Cube around 11.30, they were happy to store luggage, so we went shopping and when we got back the room was ready. The rooms are really studio apartments, we loved ours, it had frosted bi-fold doors to seperate the bed from the kitchen area, loads of space and cupboards, the bathroom was good and spacious. The hanging space for the bedroom was strangely small, in the bathroom the cupboard space was huge but it was all shelving space and nowhere to store a suitcase but there was ample room in the living area if you don't mind your luggage on show.
The room was perfect on arrival and after cleaning during the stay, we left our luggage in storage on arrival and after we got into the room, we were so busy looking at all the room had when we finally remembered to get our luggage, we got to the lift to find the check in agent had brought it up to us, outstanding service that we wern't looking for.
Our room didn't have a balcony, just the unusual but clever picket fence that helps obscure a non view but allows great light into the room, a very clever design trick.
The only oddity was, the room had everything, an iron but no board, this didn't worry us as we didnt need it, but if we did I'm sure one would have arrived quickley.
Reception staff were always friendly and polite and very service focussed, this place is in one of the nicest parts of the CBD, there is building work on the corner of Latrobe & Exhibition st but there is a buffer of completed buildings between the property, Exhibition Lane is spotlessly clean and well lit at night, overall it's a very charming place to stay with all mod cons. The only downside was the pillows were not great, but we survived. We brought back a lot of brochures for our staff at work, it's a big thumbs up, look forward to staying again.

“Excellent hidden gem accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

Stayed here during a weekend trip to Melbourne, was delighted with the whole experience. Tucked away in an alley but I never felt unsafe, my friend and I stayed in a twin room with balcony. The staff were very friendly, taking care of our bags and putting them in our room while we went out because we had arrived pre-check in.

The room was spacious although fairly small, like a studio apartment. Had all the general kitchen amenities, cutlery and crockery. TV had digital and some Foxtel channels which was a pleasant surprise. Bathroom very clean and beds made every day while we were out. Didn't eat at the cafe but did grab takeaway a couple of times, helpful efficient staff.

The location is great, just off La Trobe means a short walk into the heart of the CBD, or walking in the opposite direction takes you to Carlton. Only negative is you have luggage you'll need to book a shuttle to get to the train station for SkyBus, as the walk would be testing.

All in all, great affordable stay. Would definitely go back!

“Stylish apartments at the better end of the city, great value.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

Stylish decor, very comfortable well setup apartments. Nice bathroom, aircon, free safe, good tv. Friendly and helpful staff - held on to a package I had ordered from Sydney, until we arrived. Great location at the north east end of the cbd, close to free tram line, Victoria markets, Greek and Chinatown restaurants. Train station just a block west. Old gaol to the north. Fantastic place!

“Great stay at the Cube”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010

What a pleasant surprise the Cube was. Great tucked away accommodation, very comfortable rooms, fantastic staff and easy walking distance to the important bits. We couldn't have been happier and will gladly stay again next time we come home to Melbourne for a visit.
