I had read some nightmare reviews of this place and was half expecting to see mushrooms on the walls, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the room tidy and spacious. I didn't get much of a chance to use the oven/stove, but the kitchen was well appointed. The aircon fan made some odd noises, and some of the walls could use a bit of fresh paint (general scuff marks), but the space was comfortable. Front desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Staff very helpful. Room clean. Comfortable bed. Not a well stocked kitchen, nothing that couldn’t be solved cheaply at Woolworth across the street. Fun location. Plenty of restaurants and bars.

The room was clean, the building was well located, and the room was reasonably priced. I would definitely stay here again. They were doing work on the roof and ceiling of our floor when we were there, which is my only complaint.

This was the second time I have stayed here as the location and facilities are just what you need for a city break. Its easy access to the train station to get in and out of the city, the apartments are spacious, comfortable and easy access to shops and supermarkets for supplies.

Cheap, good location. Hot water went off for 48 hours and banging pipes kept us awake until the boilers were replaced for the building (quite quickly). Our room had no working washing machine so we were moved. Cleaning staff left our room unlocked twice. I asked for a refund for the 2 days without hot water, and did not receive a reply.

Excellent apartment very close to Melbourne CBD. Everything was as described - a lovely spacious apartment withing walking distance to all public transport, and only 2 stops on the train into Flinders St station.Plenty of dining options & bars within 5 minutes of apartment, with a Woolies across the road (50 metres). Would definitely stay here again next time in Melbourne.

Short and sweet stay. The room was very comfortable and very big! I didn’t expect a second room.
Everything was comfortable and clean. The r shower and water pressure was lovely. The tub was a tad slippery to initially get into. Not an issue but good to note.
A great “go-to”.
