We stayed in Melbourne for a party in the city and wanted a 2 bedroom apartment right smack bang in the middle of things - and that is exactly what we got! The location is so great, right next to Melbourne Central shopping centre, and two blocks from Bourke St. You have a tram stop outside the front door, the... More

I was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews but have no hesitation in recommending this property. We stayed in 607 for four nights and found the 1 bedroom apartment exactly how it was described and exactly like photos we had seen. Yes I agree the bed is a little hard, but this is personal taste. The room was very clean... More

I could write a hundred words to describe the problems I had with this Hotel but for simplicity and to get straight to the point I have decided to use just three. Don't go there. More

We, a group of 3, stayed here in early April 2012 and the apartment was perfect - plenty large for our group with a private bedroom, couch and spare bed. The kitchen was handy for preparing breakfast in-house, and the location was within easy walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go in Melbourne. The apartment was very clean and... More

I hate construction noise but it seemed to be at times that didn't bother us. Kitchen items including glassware and cutlery is sparse for an Ascott property. Towels... More

Stayed with my family during the Grand Prix weekend. Location of the property is excellent, so is the staff, helpfull, easy going and polite. As for the property: Our 816 room was very bland, badly cleaned, bathroom was very "tired", cracks everywhere and subpar linen overall. Bad was horrible, mattess should have been replaced at least 2 years ago. For... More

People make the difference. The staff at the reception were very nice throughout our stay. We booked early and got a reasonably good price considering how expensive accomodation in Melbourne city is. The location is great, as its walking distance to almost everywhere. We took the train which has a station a couple of minutes walk to visit St. Kilda... More
