6/10 Okay
Kit
Travelled with partner
8 Feb 2026
Pros:
• genuinely soundproof rooms; we never heard so much as a whisper through the walls or outside the room
• excellent water pressure in the bathroom/sinks, and hot water pretty much on demand, without any need to wait for a boiler to heat it or tanks to refill
• decent free wi-fi. We weren't trying to do anything too exciting on it — casting from a phone was a bit patchy — but it worked perfectly for both general trip research and 30-minute video calls.
• location. Obviously, the location is very convenient! There're many tram stops around, the CBD is a short walk away, and there's also a Woolworths Metro with decent hours literally just across the road. Very close to the Queen Vic Markets, and it's easy to walk home from the CBD.
Cons:
• cleanliness was the biggest issue during our stay. The room had apparently been cleaned, but not very well, as we found a spider living happily in a web woven between one of the pillows and the wall, a live cockroach in the wardrobe, and a discarded sauce container out on the balcony.
• the design and layout of the room, as is the case in many of these serviced apartments, generates a bit of head-scratching. Why did someone decide to install the toilet roll holder at such an angle that reaching for it inevitably knocks the toilet paper to the ground?
