A girl friend and I stayed here for the night as we were heading out to the city for drinks and didn't want to travel home. The location is close to flinders and a short taxi ride from anything else. The check in was easy and rooms were nice. We were on the 10th floor and could not hear a... More

Stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on the 14th floor. It had everything we needed except for free WI FI access. The towels were wonderful, thick and fluffy, but hot water in the shower a little cool, the 2 bathrooms were a bonus. The hotel is in easy reach of all attractions. Unfortunately could not turn off the text on... More

We stayed in a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment and were very happy with the standard of accommodation. Made the mistake of sleeping with the window open on our first night and traffic noise was pretty bad. It was fine with the window closed. Room was cleaned about every second day and staff were helpful and friendly. Well located with... More

Nice spacious apartment in a quiet area - we often find Melb to be a mayhem like but this area was very pleasant by city standards. Only a 5 min walk to Southbank riverside restaurants & another 5-10 mins to the middle of Melb. Staff helpful & appreciated the laundry facilities. Fantastic views from higher floors.
