Great customer service but poor cleanliness
We had to ask a room change before we even put our bags done.
Our room had a terrible smell(could’ve been a bad air freshener or someone had just relieved themselves before our arrival)
There seems to be a bad smell/stench present in the hallway and lobby.probably poor ventilation or air conditioning.
The staff were great.

Room was fine, clean and quiet but all areas of the accommodation smelt bad, like old damp rubbish and there were some dodgy sorts hanging around the front entrance most times I came and went. Good location. Good Price

Incompetent reception
Reception had a big trouble finding my reservation. Room was clean and tidy. But the aircon was turning off periodically. I complained the same to the reception but to no avail. No one came to attend my request even though they told me to they would send someone.
In the name of breakfast they handed few snacks items in the afternoon.

We booked a couple of nights in a one bedroom suite. It was perfectly clean, spacious and well appointed. Bathroom / shower very good, strong & consistent water flow. Good kitchenette which we didn’t use, full size fridge & freezer. Only complaint, if you like, was the same as I have with most hotels or motels, the matress on the bed was too firm for my liking.

The property was neat and tidy inside. Not much appeal when you arrive at reception. The room was quite spacious and the bathroom was large.
I stayed three nights. One of the nights doors kept opening and banging shut repeatedly in some part of the building. I don’t know what was going on!
There was no room safe which would have been useful.
Reception staff were helpful.

I’m aware that there’s a complimentary breakfast included in our booking.This is my second time I stayed here and this time I’m with my friend who’ll take an exam nearby.When we arrived I’ve noticed that we don’t have the complimentary breakfast which is in a box supposedly.We informed the lady receptionist (evening) and she told us it should be there.So, I checked again but still I haven’t found anything and went down again to confirm.We can see from her face that she’s upset, we don’t understand why she’s being upset where in the first place they are the one who forgot to put the comlimentary breakfast.She just gave one, and I told her we are 2 staying on the room.As receptionist, she should not give some attitude to the guest.I hope she’ll be more approachable and personable for her to be fit in her position.There’s no phone inside the room so if there’s any concern we still need to go down and talk to the receptionist.Please don’t tolerate this kind of attitude.

I cannot speak more highly of the front desk safe when i had interaction with them. However, the apartment, on arrival was a little disappointing. There was only 1 x towel in the bathroom and no bath mat. The breakfast boxes were not supplied for my 2 night stay. The sofa was the most uncomfortable that i've ever sat on and it would deter me from staying more than 1 or 2 night. The bed was very comfortable, but i was surprised that there wasn't an additional blanket or pillow in the cupboards.

The reception was very helpful, especially the gentlemen who served me in the evening and the lady who served me in the morning. This was on the weekend and both were helpful and professional. The walls around the lift buttons could do with a clean.

Bed was uncomfortable, especially the pillows. Toilet buttons had to be held down for many seconds in order to flush properly. Hot water in the shower was inconsistent; sometimes hot, sometimes mildly warm. On the Sat night there were loud, angry drunk people making a lot of noise in the corridor of my floor. The staff were friendly and the room itself was stylish and looked good. South Melbourne area itself is good, a short tram ride takes you into the city.
