“Good only in new wing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We took a one bedroom apartment in the older wing for five nights then moved to a two bedroom for two nights because my husband joined us. What a difference! The two bedroom was in the new block. Everything was top notch and ship shape. The older one bedroom apartment needs an uplift if they wish to charge premium prices, which they do.
Service wise was okay. Except for the fact that on the day we moved from the one bedder to two, they had promised a smooth transition, and it didnt turn out quite so. Still, we were allowed to leave our things at the reception, and they did move it to the two bedder as we got back later in the day.
Convenience wise, you can take trams, but its a short walk away. Its walking distance to the shops and groceries. A rented car made things more convenient for us.

Room Tip: Ask for the new block. If you can't manage stairs, you need to let them know as most of the apa...

“Melbourne on Business”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

First time stayed here. I will certainly be back. Was upgraded on arrival to a 2 bedroom apartment when I booked a 1 bedroom for cost saving. I always stay in South Yarra region as it is easier to get to the Vodafone Arena/Rod Laver Arena during peak traffic times without driving through the city. The apartment was spotless, had everything we needed and the reception staff were most friendly and helpful. Undercover parking is a big thing with me on business and there was enough even though our parking spot was taken every night we just hopped into another so I dont think that matters too much. Didnt see the pool? No Restraunt on site but 2 min walk down the street is whatever cruisine you like!

Room Tip: Quiet street so I think any rooms would be fine.

“Perfect for a small family, excellent location great to walk everywhere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013 via mobile

Apartments are ideal for a small family like ours, excellent location and staff were really good and helpful - nothing was a problem especially big thanks to Warick who made our stay very comfortable (even arranging a little step for my daughter who couldnt reach the basin!) underground parking a real bonus if hiring a car. I would also agree that the bathroom is a little tired looking and the old shower curtain could be replaced. Also bath wasn't spotlessly clean :( The air con was also very noisy but that might've been just our apartment.
Overall we had a wonderful time even extended our stay by 3 days and no problem at all. Will definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends!

“Extended Stay for Business”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

We stayed for 6 weeks and location was spot on for newbies to Melbourne.
Our apartment was clean and had the basics. The glasses and coffee cups were very small and having 3 of everthing meant the wife who is based at home had to wash / clean every time she needed a plate / bowl. Maybe they need to double basic kithenware as we used the dishwasher minimally 1 because it did not clean things probably (we think because you only got 3 min of hot water in shower before waiting 30min for the next person to shower) not good enough really 2 was it worth putting on for a wash cycle for 1/3 full??
Manager was great and helped out with all requests and anything we needed he assisted ( oven trays / extra bathroom towels etc) We thought we were getting foxtel as per website and only received normal TV. The TV did loose channel 7 for the last 2 weeks ?? Manager did try to fix but no luck. Undercover car park was a walk away into another area so outside no cover parking was what we had ( Not to good when it was raining every second day. Maybe we should have asked a few more qustions before we booked as most people had different opinions. It did the job until we moved into our new residnence 4 weeks earlier than we hoped.
Great location, quiet and helpful manager. Just need to work on where you put people who stay longer than 7 days.

Room Tip: If stayin for a week or more - make sure you have a room with extra kitchenware, hot water so 2 can...

“Clean, comfortable, quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Having booked a one bedroom apartment, we found ourselves upgraded to a two bedroom apartment, which was wonderful. Nice, quiet location, only a two minute walk to the number 8 tram, which goes straight into the centre (make sure you know how to use the confusing Myki card system) and a ten minute walk to the lovely Botanic Gardens. Drawbacks? The bathroom was a bit tired looking and the tub small. But most Melbourne apartments only seem to have a shower, so obviously baths are not high on the list for Melbournians. A few hiccups in the housekeeping department were quickly solved by the very helpful staff on the front desk. Warning: phonecalls from the apartment to cell phones are ridiculously expensive ($3.50 per 30 seconds!!). Having been warned of this, we limited our calls to cellphones to the utter minimum and still ended up with an almost $20 bill. Don't understand the justification for this. Otherwise, a great place to stay!

Room Tip: The rooms away from the street would be the quietest. The ground floor apartments have less privacy.
