Excellent service
Clean, comfortable room with a very comfy bed
Beautiful shower - just a little disappointed in the drainage of the shower as water kept pooling at our feet.
Overall, an excellent experience & we will certainly return.

You walk into the apartment and the door is literally punched in with a hole to your room. The furniture was all broken and scratched, and you could hear the people in the rooms around you whispering like the walls are made out of cardboard. The door didn’t always even necessarily lock when closed. The room was just like one of those horror games where you get kidnapped.

Spilt coffee stains on the tiles, several random hairs in the bed and shower. Even found toe nails in my daughters bed. No shower door, window above door wouldn't close, which also had no screen on it. No reply from the hotel, despite emailing photos.
The desk staff are lovely, no issues with them. But definitely would not recommend.

No facility in the hotel not even the cold drinks machine was working,unsafe due to the construction work the smell of paint and other chemicals was very bad. The bus stop very close to the hotel and only 10 minutes to the centre of Melbourne.

Old premises undergoing a face lift very old bathrooms comfortable beds. Patchy service, great public transport. OMG all doors slam making trying to sleep impossible as all doors slam loudly as people go about their day. Enjoyed the pool.

They were doing some repair/renovation work during our stay which made the place look less attractive, but over all, a pleasant stay with helpful and accommodating staff.

The room was neat, tidy, and modern, offering a great view from the window. Its proximity to public transport and being just a short distance from the city made it very convenient. However, I was not informed about ongoing renovations prior to my stay. That said, the pool and newly renovated areas looked fantastic.
One area for improvement would be the front entrance—if it were renovated for better accessibility, it would significantly enhance the property's overall presentation and make it more inviting.
