More cons than pros unfortunately. Pros - friendly staff, well appointed room with all conveniences, comfy bed and pillows, close to Southbank. Cons - surface clean but otherwise dirty, our room desperately needed a deep clean and a repaint, noisy despite double glazed windows (hard to stop noise when your hotel is right next to the West Gate Fwy), rubbish everywhere outside hotel entrance. Not a 4 star hotel at present, won’t be staying again sorry.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was a build up of food grime on the kitchen tap, the sink was not clean, the crockery was dirty, the microwave could not be easily used because it is tucked away behind the cooktop, the bed mattress was so worn, it sagged into the middle and worst of all, the hotel is positioned directly next to one of Melbourne’s busiest freeways - no window or external door is double-insulated resulting in extraordinary traffic noise. I will never stay again nor will I recommend this hotel

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.

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.
