“4 thumbs up!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

Great location in Southbank, just a short walk to the CBD or an even shorter tram ride using the 55 tram line or the 112. Very highly recommended apartment with balconies, great views, up to date furnishings with a tidy yet functional kitchenette, laundry and dryer. Really enjoyed the proximity to the CBD as well as the proximity to convenience stores and restaurants nearby. Try Golden House for the good Chinese fare or Olla Messa for Italian, just a hop and a skip away. Friendly and hassle free check in with no complaints during our stay. Has a free swimming pool and a gym, but paid wifi. Will definitely stay again when in Melbourne. Great place.

“Great location and comfort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012 via mobile

We stayed 6 nights and we we're very impressed with the 1 bedroom apartment we were given. Comfortable bed and lounge. Large bathroom. Well planned kitchen with good equipment level. We were only on level 9 so the view wasn't that spectacular. Our unit was designed for someone in a wheelchair which made life interesting in the bathroom as you can't get your head over the sink to clean your teeth or wash your face. Laundry facilities good and the security in the building is average/good We would be looking to stay here again. Good value helped by the Entertainment Book.

“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We booked this accommodation for a 4 night stay.
The standard of the room was extremely unsatisfactory for the price.
Walls in the unit needed to be painted and pictures crooked and badly placed giving the space an uncomfortable and weird vibe. Windows filthy spoiling what would have been a lovely view.
Furnishings sparse and uncomfortable.
All in all not worth the money paid.

Room Tip: I would not choose this accommodation

“Fantastic Facilities, Beautiful View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

We were delighted to be upgraded to a three bedroom apartment. The apartments are sparkling clean, spacious, and have everything we needed. Absolutely delighted, and we'll stay again. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these at all.

“Great, Comfy Apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

I Stayed at the short stay for 4 nights for a business trip. It was close to the DFO and the MCEC (which is where i was working). I loved the short stay apartments. Firstly the security is quite resonable, you can't go to any other floor unless you have a room on that floor. So your key card won't take you to a floor that isn't yours.

The room is beautiful, very lovely lounge, bedroom, bathroom. The view was also quite nice as i was on the 21st floor. The couch was comfy and had foxtel which was good.

The only issue i had was the blinds, the rope for it was all tangled and took me a while to close them, but i didn't feel like i had complete privacy as the blinds were a bit flimsy and in the mornings it was SO bright because they didn't complete make the room dark.

Will definitely go back there again!
