It was clean and quite roomy. It had everything you needed

Mikayla, Australia

It was close to town centre. The kitchen area was very useful.

Tracey, United Kingdom

Definitely pretty good value for money, but it did feel a bit cheap. We are used to staying somewhere with an extra star or 2. Good location only a couple of Ks from Flinders Street Station.

Tim, Australia

The location was great & the staff are friendly.

Thumbelina66, Australia

Clean, comfortable and great location. Tram stop right outside and a short walk to the heart of the CBD.

Rina, Australia

Location was good. Walking distance to aquarium, food, etc. Good for families as it has cooking facilities and a large fridge.

Coz, Australia

Location is perfect if your looking to be in the mix of everything and not spend too much time in the actual apartment.

Rachael, Australia

Central location within walking distance to Queen Elizabeth markets, Carlton Gardens and Lygon St.

Ashleigh, Australia

Great location, rooms have pretty much everything you would need while staying.

Kylie, Australia

There is alot of renovations going around this, and very hard to get into the reception.
