My husband 22 year old daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights. We arrived at midnight after a day which had been about 38degrees. The room was extremely hot, the windows open, barely enough to get in any air & the " climate control" described in the advertising is a pedestal fan! I think that in cooler weather this... More

We stayed here for cup week in a two bedroom apartment. We had our two small children with us and my mother to help mind them. We had read the previous reviews and were a little hesitant to book, but the price for an entire week's stay for five of us could not be beaten! We have been pleasantly suprised.... More

A great location for visiting the city but the nightclub music from a building next door till 6am on Saturday and Sunday morning was unbearable. Never would I stay here over the weekend again. Sunday, Monday Tuesday nights were fine.

The reviews weren't great but as it was only 1 night we thought we'd bite the bullet. The hotel is situated at the far end of Swanston street which seems to be the main throughfair in... More

My daughter and I spent 4 nights at the Carlton Residence Apartments in March 2012 on the 8th floor in a 2 bed apartment with kitchen, small living area, bathroom and great views up Swanston Street. Very happy with hotel, front office staff, and security as guests need a card to access building after 8 pm as well as lifts... More
