4/10 Fair

Not a great stay for me this time
Booked a 'Sky' apartment for the elevation and view, and the views were limited and included a building site, a car park, major roads right outside the room, on the lowest floor that they include in 'Sky'. Disappointing. I've stayed here before and had much better views in the same room type, and a bigger room (the bed was almost wedged against the wall in an irregular shaped bedroom). The bed was too soft for my taste, there was a pube on the bathroom floor, and something that looked like a booger on the wall in the living room. Not a good stay. I was close to becoming a regular and promoter but will be looking elsewhere (already booked 2 nights next week elsewhere). I did go down to reception after seeing the room, and they could have put me in a higher floor 'Sky' room as they had two bedroom ones available, but wanted to charge me the difference. Given I was not happy at all with my room and was finding it inferior to what I'd had before, I'd have expected better, and at 6:45pm it's not like their higher rooms would be likely to all be getting booked at that point for that night so there's no extra cost to them that I can see. A potential regular customer and promoter lost.

Great views and a decent stay
The view from the hotel was amazing. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. However, the kitchen needs a deep clean and the hotel was in average shape. It’s an odd place - half hotel and half apartments with full-time residents. The pool area is much smaller in photos. while there were less than 10 people outside, there was nowhere to sit. Gym was small but good. They also had a mini theatre. I probably would not stay there again due to cleanliness but it did have amazing views.

Great Place But Service Could Be Better!
A great place to stay thats close to the CBD and walking distance to some great places. Amazing views even though we weren't that high up. Great that there's a Woolworths and Cafe a few minutes walk away, as theres no facilties at the hotel other than self catering. There's also no support with luggage so be prepared to move it around yourself, including the stairs to enter. There is a small lift near the entrance but its super slow. The place wasn't as clean as we'd liked either, as there was this white powdery dust everywhere and on top of things.

8/10 Very good

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.

6/10 Good

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.

Nice apartment-hotel, would stay again
Convenient location for supermarket and 600m to Southbank riverside. Nice apartment-hotel room, with good views of the Bay and Albert Park from the 30th floor. Would definitely stay again. Grateful to the lady at check-in who sorted my room for me when the first one wasn't quite what I thought I'd booked. Didn't use the pool but it looked good. Gym looked okay.

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.

Booked through lastminute.com.au and told upon arrival that the room i had booked was sold out ( sky high room lvl 20 ) and was given a room on level 13 and told that it was my fault for not booking direct through the hotel so they were unwilling to help resolve the issue but i was assured i would love the view from my room.. my view was of the entrance to the burnley tunnel so that was disappointing to say the least but otherwise my stay was pleasant, quiet and uninterrupted.
