Our first room had a very noisy ventilation fan. We moved to a second room which resolved the fan problem. Very nice room although let down by not being very clean. Hair on the toilet and oil splatters over the overhead cupboards in the kitchen. No soap in the shower dispenser and the shampoo dispenser broken. Things were quickly attended to when raised. Very nice hotel overall, just let down by the cleaning. The pool and bbq area was excellent.

This apartment is a bit of a mixed bag. Great location with proximity to Southbank, and terrific views from the 33rd floor Apartment has a balcony but no outdoor furniture. It could also have been cleaner - baked on grime around the gas cooktop burners, and a dried food spill on the arm of the leather couch in the living room. Fridge, microwave and rest of apartment was fine though. Kitchen layout is awkward with microwave in a bench recess that means the door only half opens before jamming against the side of the cooktop. Annoying and also dangerous for getting hot things out. Good and effective AC, but it made a high pitched whine that was annoying. Bedroom was a real squeeze, with not enough room at the foot of the bed to get past without bumping into the wall mounted tv, and the bed was uncomfortably soft. Good pillows though. Bathroom was clean and functional, but I don't recommend the clothes washer/dryer for drying items eg towels if you need them any time soon. 3 hours to dry 4 towels. Pool area was lovely but no towels available there, and very limited seating. Pool is quite small too - a lap pool that is 1.2m deep all along, and really only wide enough for 1-2 people to swim in at a time and no place to sit in the water or pool enclosure itself, so not really suitable for anyone with young kids. Overall it wasn't bad for a few days and nights and the location is great, but will probably look for something better next time we go to Melbourne.

Position of this hotel was really good, check-in fast and easy. Everything was good execpt the condition of cleaness. The room, kitchen and living room was terrible dusty during and before our stay. The housekeeper was terrible because when they came they just made the top part of the bed and nothing else. When we arrived we found the underwear in the balcony, so it’s meaning that probably the housekeeper didn’t made a room before the next host. Hopfully cleaner get improve in future because the rest was great.

It was alright if you’re looking for a modest stay. The low ratings are due to ceiling painting coming off (a lot) in the shower and the hallway smelling bad (a lot). The rest was fine

The pool was closed for maintenance and this was not disclosed prior to checking in, not was any compensation offered. Of course this is our of hotel management control but was a main feature of consideration in choosing this hotel so we were very disappointed that not into was it inaccessible but staff were unable to give an estimate of when it might be open again. It was closed for the duration of our stay. We also noticed that there were noisy drafts in our room due, we think, to window seal being inadequate. Other than that it was a nice apartment, nicely cleaned and maintained. Staff were friendly.

Overall the stay was good, great views and the room layout was flexible for 3 people. However I felt it was quite poor to have bars of soap with no area to have it sit on both the bathroom and kitchen. A hand soap pump would have been a lot better. Also has a sachet of dishwashing liquid and 1 toilet roll - this felt very cheap.

The property is okay, with a Woolworth just across the street and river in walking distance. The services are very basic, staff are amateur with no customer service experience, you have to ask every time you need something. Besides there is no phone in the room and you have to go downstairs every time you need something. The air conditioning is centrally controlled and is not comfortable most of the time with no control from the room. The staff miss basic things for instance we had booked and paid for a cot for our baby which was not set up for us. Cleaners missed our room a couple of times. We asked for a garbage bag from reception and they simply said we do not have them here and cleaning staff have left! Do not recommend, with this price you can find better options.

Great stay! Apartment was perfect for my Dad and I. Great location, 5 minute walk to the Crown and short distance to the city. Very clean and tidy. Could do with a little maintenance as the bathroom door was very hard to close. But all in all a great stay!
