We booked as a last minute stay and the staff were really accommodating and made the process so easy for us to check in after reception hours. Room was lovely and tidy, had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
No, the balcony was definitely mot scenic, the view it offered was other warehouse roofs and frankly, made me a little uncomfortable.
The stove in the roof was difficult to operate
We never cooked.
Staff, Luke was exceptionally nice.
Helpful with things in the area.
Our stay was brief but excellent, staff very helpful and professional.
The car parking and the location all made it a very enjoyable stay and will definitely use again.
Perfect location , our car was safely parked in the hotel car park , clean room , everything we needed & lovely friendly staff . Would stay there again

The hotel exceeded my expectations - great value for money. Our apartment was spacious, very clean and had the basic necessities. Street parking available and lots of restaurants to dine from.
Location is located right along the Route 59 Tram Line making it quite easy to travel to both Downtown Melbourne and the airport. It is also walking distance to convince stores and a shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly and thorough at check-in. The room was cute, clean, & updated. No issues or commotions caused by other guests.
It was a great place to stay with lots of Eateries in walking distance as well as the Public transport.
Our Studio Apartment was very comfortable, clean & nice & quiet.
Loved our 2 night stay & also great to have secure under cover parking
Felt like home away from home, was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend. Great service, easy check in and check out.
Parking was available upon request, although it is a tight spot and can get full quickly.
Location was central to everything.
Great rooms.
Beds are a little bit stiff but comfortable.
Not a huge fan of the two twins together being called a king bed, but that’s being nitpicky.
The balcony is great and the showers are perfect. Very comfortable place I will definitely book again.
