Our stay didn't have a very promising start. Our room smelled of cigarettes, didn't have a twin bed as requested, and had a dirty towel on the bathroom floor.

Stayed in the 2 Bedroom apartment. Fantastic stay! Rooms were so spacious and well set out. The view was incredible! Had a balcony that overlooked the whole Melbourne skyline. Great price for what we got. So close to Melbourne central and a whole lot of restaurants. More

The location is great....close to some great restaurants in Chinatown and Lonsdale St, as well as being a short walk to a lot of the Comedy Festival shows. (The Exford Hotel is directly opposite....I recommend seeing the "Best of British"... More
