Good location in the middle of melb CBD. I've booked this hotel a couple of times. Unfortunately there was a red stain on our sheets that my partner had to cover up with a fitted sheet. Not sure what it was, but alas not a big deal. Amenities were great, and we did get a better room that we originally booked!

False advertising on 'apartment' size and most uncomfortable place ever stayed at. I didnt pay for Student accommodation but for more than $200 per night was shockingly expensive. There were several living on same floor. At least 2 overnight parties in which music vibrated throughout into early hours (2-3 am). Horrendous noise of screaming and domestic arguments throughout the night, foul smelling cooking which smelt for days following. Elevators not working andnunreliable, no privacy if blinds were open - views straight into rooms opposite in second tower, so kept closed most of time. fittings in bathroom. Space was incorrectly classified as apartment was only 4-5 feet wide in 'lounge' . Room serviced once in 7 days. fridge was turned off at time service. Had to throw foods out as it was a 42 degree day. However 'Fantastic' cafe on ground floor with lovely staff and food made it bearable!

The hallway to our room smelt so bad that we had to hold our breath! The room was pokey and it was clearly set up as student accommodation for the RMIT Uni down the road. The room was clean but had an overpowering smell of some sort of cleaning product. There was a single bed where the couch should have been. This made it hard to watch TV as the bed kept rolling around. The bed in the 'master' room was only a double and was comfy enough for one person, but my hubby ended up sleeping on the extra single bed as the bed sagged. OK stay, but very much overpriced for the standard. More like hostel accommodation.

We actually missed our first night stay as our flight from Sydney to Melbourne was cancelled What I thought I’d reserved was a very nice looking 2 bedroom apartment. What we actually got was a nasty 2 bedroom apartment in an annex which we were told by someone who worked there was student accommodation. It wasn’t very clean, the carpet was old and looked dirty as did the settee which was covered with a stretchy brown cover. The single bed was uncomfortable. The double was ok but took up most of the room. No bedside table and it was difficult to use the wardrobe. The top cover was a horrible cheap material. At no time were we informed that we would not be staying in the hotel. We weren’t the only ones that had this problem. We spoke to others who had the same experience.

Only one lift worked on the first day and no lifts worked on the second day. Some of the fire escape stairs doors were locked so they had to be wedged open with bits of wood. Room was under expectation - only one towel each, no hand towel, face washer, etc. The tv was installed about 1 metre up the wall and tilted down so not easily watchable. No extra blankets or pillows in the room - sofa bed was made up with one pillow and one thin blanket. Was relatively quiet at night.

We were expecting a 2 bedroom apartment and a sofa bed. There was only one bedroom. What they called a second bedroom was a space next to the bathroom with a folding stand, it certainly does not qualify as a bedroom. The bed only just fit into the space and there was no room either side or any windows. The sofa bed was a leather lounge that folds flat with absolutely no padding. The kitchen had a gas stove top with no way of lighting it, we had to make a trip to the shops just to buy matches. There was also no tea towel provided to dry the dishes. The balcony had nothing to sit on. There was no wi-fi. It was a long wait to get the lift as only one was working.

The hotel is in deplorable condition. Three cockroaches appeared in the room just as we were going to sleep. Since it was late and the hotel is divided into two properties, we had to stay overnight. The next day, I requested a room change because I had paid for two nights, and the receptionist offered to spray insecticide. After insisting, she finally moved me. And that's not even mentioning the condition of the blankets and the overall cleanliness of the room and bathroom. I will never return to this filthy place.

The "deluxe" two bedroom apartment was tiny. Not even enough room in the main bedroom for two bedside tables. The shower head was about perfect for a 5ft person, otherwise it is way too low. The lifts were terrible with waits of up to 10 minutes. The entire building is dirty and smelly. But worst of all, the balcony door had no way to lock it. We had to jam a chair in it to ensure it was closed. Very very poor, do not recommend to anyone.
