We had the absolute best stay! Was clean and spacious, great price, great facilities and absolute lovely staff! Will absolutely become my regular when I’m in town!
Always a good quality and good value stay, I prefer to stay here when working in the east end. Having a pool and spa is great for unwinding at the end of the day. Breakfast buffet is great quality.
Stayed 6 nights in 1 bedroom suite. Wonderful, spacious room, full kitchen, friendly staff, awesome location. Pool and gym were very nice. Will stay again but next time won’t pay extra for the buffet breakfast - a bit ordinary and much better options nearby.

A great apartment hotel in Melbourne. Will definitely stay here again. Booked a premium one bedroom apartment and asked for a high floor. Was given the top floor. The front desk staff were excellent. Great communication and very welcoming. A little road noise from outside, but to be expected in the heart of a city. Bathrooms were outdated but exceptionally clean nevertheless. Comfortable bed with premium linens. Could do with higher quality towels.

Rooms are big and very clean. Pool was a little too cool but good. Breakfast was great. Parking was good and cheaper if you are a member, but not enough spaces on Level 5 which makes it inconvenient to use the lift 5 to get directly into hotel/ room. You have to go to ground and walk to the outside. Staff were all helpful. Only negative was the shower is in the bath.

Disliked: Check-in
The first comment walking into the checkin was "what do you want" which i find quite rude.
Temperature we could not change ourselves in apartment which was freezing cold we had to ask reception to adjust it a bit annoying.
Front desk never greeted us walking by.
There was urine stains on bed sheets too.
