I recently stayed in these apartments for three nights, on a business trip. I chose the apartment for three reasons - location, balcony and self-catering. First was fine, the others were not. You need to pick up the key for these apartments from Carlton - not good if your plane lands late afternoon or evening. I was previously told that... more

I booked on Wotif and intormation about the distant reception location is provided only after payment is made. Plum Carlton, where keys are collected, has no sign and is not easy to find - enter by the door to what looks like a laundrette.

Upon entering, the bedroom was straight ahead with stairs on... more

The lounges are comfortable with TV/DVD and often a... more

I booked this through Wotif.com.au at the last minute and because i couldnt find any reviews, i was freaking out a fair bit. BUT i shouldnt have worried really. There were both good and bad points.
