Was what we needed for our stay. Bit of a walk to the tram but nothing insurmountable.
Rooms were in a nice condition and had plenty of space for the four of us.
Great spot on Lygon street for all your cafe and restaurant needs.

Great location. Property was a bit tired. Not very secure.
The apartment needs a complete spring clean. On entering there was a smell of stale cigarette smoke, carpet needs a wash, soap scum in shower, grouting in bottom of shower filthy, curtains need washing, stove hotplates need cleaning, streaks on kitchen cupboards, dishwasher, oven door and windows/mirrors, dust on top of air conditioner, to name a few things.

The reception manager was excellent. The shower was tough to get into as a bigger person. Internet and parking systems need to be updated. Needs refurbishing. Great location.
Well located close to town and uni.
large one bedroom apartment
kitchen had dishwasher, washer and dryer
Not well maintained, carpets stained and dirty, bathroom with mold, needs significant renovation.
This hotel is old and pretty run down. Our room wasn't very clean, and the carpet had a big rip in it. It needs some upgrading and cleaning, but it is convenient. It's located right next to Lygon Street, it's a short walk to University of Melbourne, and there's lots of nearby shopping.

Really Nice place but was a bit disappointed this time,prob unknown to owner but we go back late went to bed, toilet ran all night, self flushed every minute=no sleep, we also found a compression sock in the end of the bed,mattress was stuffed and the ash tray in the door way full and stunk, not really good enough for those rates.

The place can get a little noisy from the nearby rooms, especially in the morning.
There was a spider web in the bathroom and the lights were not cleaned for a while.
However it is very close to Lygon St and the check in was quick and easy.
The apartment was quite large, but the TV was small.
