353 Queen Street, 3000 Melbourne, Australia –

The apartment is small but very well designed, laid out and appointed. We had a mini kitchen, with all the tools and items we needed. Separate mini bathroom/toilet and separate bedroom with a TV. Double bed, which was comfortable. Though it's a small place, it had all we needed and we were comfortable. The check in staff were very helpful. The housekeeping were excellent and on top of things. The hotel offers reasonably priced city parking at a nearby complex, which was a huge bonus for us. It's close to Queen Vic markets, Brick Lane and Melbourne Central. There is construction going on across the road but it stopped in the evenings and even though I worked from the hotel room it didn't bother me. It was amazing value.

Tom, Australia

Clean rooms. Centrally located to everything. Right down the road from the famous Queen Victoria Market. Pretty decent view of city skyline from the balcony.

Christopher, United States of America

It's great to have your own kitchen. There is a market as well as a liquor store conveniently located on the block and we were able to get whatever we needed very easily. The location is excellent for public transportation wherever you might want to go. The staff was very helpful.

Anne, United States of America

Good view, spacious, well located. The staff was very friendly and useful.

Ignacio, Macau

Nice serviced apartment near Queen Victoria Market. Tea making facilities, good water pressure, dishwasher, and a bar fridge. Free WiFi, although it is capped at 1Gb per 24hr period.

Wifi is not free, only got one hour free access, and had to pay for further use. Its currently opposite the construction area, might be a bit noise in the morning, which they provided ear plugs so its fine for me.
Clean and tidy, got everything you need in the room, location is nice

The location and facilities were great. The room service was excellent. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend City Tempo as a easy access to public transport around the CBD and also within easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants and markets. Also within walking distance of some tourists destinations and city’s historic buildings.

Room size on the small side, not really suitable for more than 1 person. Balcony faced office blocks so had to have the blind drawn most of the time. Air con unit was quite loud.
Everything was as described. Balcony, comfortable bed, new and clean room, proximate yet quietish location (for a CBD) and friendly staff
