I was in room 807. Loved it! The room was wonderful, the views were fantastic (but the windows could do with a clean. A bit dirty). Loved the balcony, the amenities, the bed was soooo comfortable and the staff were fabulous! So friendly and helpful: Will definitely stay again! ❤️

Fantastic room size and a very clean and well equipped apartment. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Parking was easy and once we checked in there was no need to use our car for the duration of our stay due to the multiple dining options close by, and easy access to public transport when heading further away. Bed and pillows were really comfy and our room was near silent through the night with a pleasant view / small balcony. Usually I would stay in the city when travelling to Melbourne but this property ticks all the boxes and we will stay here again, especially if travelling with the kids.
