10/10 Exceptional

My 3 day stay was wonderful. The hotel is just as it is advertised. Front desk is expedient and professional. The property is safe with the residents in mind. It's easy to assess and close to everything you need from public transportation to shopping. I've never stayed in a place that was so clean and organized. My room and hotel were both emaculant. The view from my sky 1 bedroom was marvelous. I never wanted to leave. I highly highly recommend staying here. I will return next year. Best stay ever.

Beautiful views of the sea from the balcony. Nice amenities, heated pool, gym with a good variety of machines and weights. It's location is perfect, close to everything, restaurants, supermarkets, the Southbank Promenade, the Crown Casino, the freeway, and close to many other places. The decoration of the lobby and the apartments looks very exclusive.

10/10 Exceptional

This was an outstanding stay. I am a regular visitor to Melbourne and this is the first time in ages where the apartment actually matched the photos on the site. From the moment I arrived the service was great. The room was well appointed, quiet and comfortable. The place is secure and a supermarket literally over the road! Once you work out the two closest tram stations then you will be connected to everywhere you need to go, and being just off the motorway makes ubers etc really easy. I loved it and will return.

The place was clean and staff were helpful and courteous However the noise from the freeway outside was a nuisance and you could not use the balcony because of this.

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and helped to point us in the right direction to get our day started. Convenient location to access CBD and Yarra River area- 10 minute walk. Also right beside a grocery store and coffee shop. Room was a little worn, but clean. Was surprised by no coffee maker in room, just packs of instant coffee.

10/10 Exceptional

Place was clean and comfortable. Renson at the front desk was awesome. He was so helpful and friendly. One issue we had was with the washer dryer combo - it didn’t dry well. Also the shower didn’t drain well or contain the water well and it would leak on the bathroom floor. You could see previous water damage on the floor in the bathroom and in the hallway. But overall we enjoyed our stay

Staff were lovely. There were some things in the room that could be improved like dirty bins, a plug for the sink. The floor was a bit dirty and I got glass in my foot, there were some toe nail clippings on the ground too. Beds were very clean and comfortable.
