Our party of three was in Melbourne for shopping and general good times and we decided on a central location and there is no doubt that the location is really good. Trams are literally at the front door and all CBD locations within an easy walk. We had an issues with a 'chirping' fire detector that ended up with 3... More

The location of Somerset on Elizabeth is centrally located and apartment units are clean and complete with facilities so everything was convenient. Staff is very helpful as well. We are quite satisfied with our stay in their two bedroom apartments; unfortunately, they are a bit run down and are up for renovation, totally not as what their website shows...

The hardware for curtains was still present but no curtains on the picture window, which would have been nice to shut out the light from the living room that had a sofa, coffee table, end tables,...

Not a sleek, modern apartment but clean, well-maintained, well-appointed, spacious and the staff are, without exception, friendly and helpful - all at a very reasonable price. The only slight downside is that it is so well located the noise from a variety of trams... More

We were a party of 5 catching up for Easter in Melbourne. We booked the two bedroom delux suite and it was perfect for our needs. The location was excellent with the tram stop right outside our hotel, and Vic Market a couple of blocks away well within walking distance. Meyers, David Jones, China town was right next door.
