We stayed here during the Melbourne Cup week. We liked the hotel's close proximity to Victoria Market, and the CBD. There are also many eateries & supermarkets nearby. Reception staff members were friendly & helpful. Downside - housekeeping was not done very thoroughly and could be much better. Other issue was noise from the lifts as our room was right... more

Stayed here for a couple of nights when I went over to Melbourne. Had stayed there back in 2004 and it was fine. This time, however, was terrible. The whole place just seemed really dirty and the corridor on the 5th floor stunk of smoke and cheap air freshener mixed together. The room we stayed in was just worn out... more

Marks all over the walls, stained carpet, 10 yr old tiny TV, unusable air conditioner it was so noisy, moldy shower, blinds all kinked and broken, beds were really hard probably because they where cheap as so was the other furniture. The lift and corridors smelt really bad. Was going to complain but the website listed on their 'Guest Comment... more

We, family of 4 adults stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen and balcony during 24-30 Sep 09 for 6 nights. Before the trip, I read the bad comments and a bit worry. However, I found the apartment is not bad at all compared with its price with convenient location. Everything meet or exceed our expectation. We would certainly... more

It was our 1st trip to Melbourne and we wanted an affordable ,clean hotel in a strategic location. Reading the reviews(then in March); it was a risky decision as not all were positive comments; but we went ahead as some... more

I've already written a review on Nova Stargate, however I've just stayed there again in a different part of the complex and wanted to add to my last review. Like last time I stayed in a 2 bedroom apt, however this time we were a floor down and at the front of the hotel overlooking Franklin Road. Unfortunately I can't... more

Stayed from 11th till 13th July 2009 on the fifth floor. We found the room was very quiet (no traffic noise, and only heard a little quiet tv noise from next room briefly), which was great. The mattresses on the beds are ok, although could do with a little more padding. We had a two bedroom apartment. For some reason... more

Self catering apartments, good service, need a tidy up. Mostly overseas students staying here. Bit dated but otherwise OK. Adequate but nothing fancy really. more
