Convenient Location

Last minute overnight stay; staff very accommodating. Shopping, restaurants, and transportation nearby. Excellent location although not the fanciest place, but fine for a quick stay.

Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Found the staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful hot shower and very comfortable bed. Great location to hospitals, city and public transport. The only complaint was the carpet. Alot of stains and needed a steam clean. Would recommend the property otherwise.
Leonie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I didn't realize that a pet friendly place could smell so much. Also, the stains on the floor & furniture were disgusting. The bathroom was also unclean. Worst place I have ever stayed. Never again!
Terry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Old but good size apartment. Very comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Have stayed here twice. Great value for money. Clean, spacious apartment, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Beautiful big windows! On site parking right at the door and an outdoor area with bbq. The staff are so lovely and accomodating-early checks ins, late check outs and even storing my items safely that I accidentally left behind.
Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy booking. Exactly what they advertised. Close to major arenas. Easy check in/out. Secure parking. Competitive pricing.

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the security entry, the bathtub , the decoration piece in the towels a really nice touch; very clean,and wonderful staff ~ very understanding; bed very comfortable - I slept best I have in a while ~ fantastic that pets are welcome ~ only criticism I have is extra fee for parking when there is a car park attached to property- makes it very expensive when adding this ~ should be included in price ~ other than that I would be back in a heartbeat
Joanna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property is well located and has lots of greenery around which makes the building beautiful. Staff was friendly. However, our apartment had a strong smell of dog and the carpet looked dirty. That makes us cancel our stay at a later time.
Hilda, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We were notified after booking (7th June) that they didn’t staff reception after 5pm, and would send us late check in details before the day of arrival (12 July). We received no information. We tried calling and messaging several times, with no response. We’ve had to find alternative accommodation. There was no information for the 5 days prior to arrival to tell us how to check in, or tell us they couldn’t accept our late check in. This is useless. I expect a full refund as they were not able to provide us a way to access our booked room. No follow through.
Nathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, simple but comfortable and clean

Stayed there for the Australian Open, 20-25min walk. Close to train stations, supermarkets, 1-2 cafes for breakfast. The room was nice and airy, sofa bed was decent. Plenty of space. Could do with more clothing drawers esp if 2 or more are staying. The only drawback was the windows weren’t soundproof so woken up early every morning by traffic, garbage truck's, sirens etc If staying here for the tennis/cricket it’s an easy walk but if night sessions finish quite late u don’t won’t to walk back on ur own. It felt safe but very quiet and empty streets. If u have trouble with stairs ask for ground level too.
meegan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

well situated to sporting arenas

We seem to have unfortunate timing with our stays with regards to noise, last time the people in the unit above us were fighting until 3am and this time an adjoining property were having an outdoor party with loud music until about 1am. The units are perfectly situated to the MCG and sports arenas. Units have all would need for a stay with microwave, kitchenware & cutlery.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms need updating, otherwise ok. Onsite parking very congested and cars could not reverse out as not enough room
Gennaro, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A comfortable stay in a convenient location

We chose this hotel because of the price and the excellent reviews. It is close to medical facilities and there is plenty of choice for places to eat. The room we had was a little old but clean, and there was plenty of space .... and the bed was comfortable! There was a little traffic noise at night and in the morning, but not a problem as the hotel is on a side street between two major roads. Everything worked, from kitchen appliances to lights. Parking $18 p/n. Bring your own bathroom requisites as they are not supplied. Service from staff was excellent: we appreciated the phone call to explain late arrival arrangements and the friendly face behind the counter the next day.
Marilyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff or guests making noise very late at night. I don't see the need for that, it was very inconsiderate.
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The stay was nice. Our fridge was set too cold and all of our food that we had in there got frozen and was no good to eat. It had to be thrown out. That was very disappointing. I don’t like wasting food but I didn't really have a choice as the food was no longer edible. Some sort of reimbursement would’ve been nice but nothing was offered to us. Other than that I had no complaints.
Sophie, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property was the worst apartment block we have ever stayed in, the room smelt of cigarette smoke, there was cigarette ash all over the floor and the oven still had dirty dishes in it, what a disgrace, will never go there ever again.
Shane, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good value and convenient

A little dated but cosy and did the job. Check re accessibility as we had a room on the 2nd floor and my wife uses a walker so that was a challenge.
Kenneth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked for two night but only stayed one as fold out bed extremely uncomfortable. Air conditioner only worked for cold so we were freezing. Carpet smelt terrible. Room not as advertised on website. Very disappointing. Staff were friendly.
