We stayed in the four bedroom apartment. The room and furnishings are older but clean and tidy, a great price and a perfect fit for our group of 8. Within easy walking of numerous pubs, cafes, restaurants and the market, as well as being on the tram line. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This hotel was disgusting and uncomfortable. The room smelled musty, the surfaces were sticky, and the bathroom had mold and stained fixtures. Even though the stairs were guarded, they were still extremely steep and dangerous—especially for kids. The whole place felt poorly maintained, and we were so unhappy that we had to leave and find another hotel. Definitely not a place I’d recommend.

A series of problems with the room. Including no couch in the lounge room! and a missing dining chair. Another was broken. The space smelt very bad as a griller had been left on maximum heat in the apartment before we checked in and stank out the room with smoke but we couldn't get a replacement space. They didn't have a space to put us in as an alternative, as we were a family. The concierge was lovely but the stay was really disappointing.
