Beth Australia

Clean, cosy and well equipped. The apartment is in a great central location but is also very comfortable for just staying in. Would definitely stay again.

Michael Australia

Convenience and Spacious car park in garage . Prompt customer service .panoramic city view .

Pauline Hong Kong

Value for money for the time of year, yet not too far away from the city. 10min walk to Casino and 20mins to MCG. Perfect for what we were after. Rooms both had own ensuite which was great. Perfect for 2 couples to stay with great views of Melbourne surround. Bedding was really comfortable.

Lee Australia

The location is very convenient, about a fifteen minute walk from Flinders St station. It has a very easy connection to the Westgate Freeway, too, which is helpful if you want to leave the city. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable. The gym and pool are minimal, but really nice to have.
