Great views and a decent stay
The view from the hotel was amazing. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. However, the kitchen needs a deep clean and the hotel was in average shape. It’s an odd place - half hotel and half apartments with full-time residents. The pool area is much smaller in photos. while there were less than 10 people outside, there was nowhere to sit. Gym was small but good. They also had a mini theatre. I probably would not stay there again due to cleanliness but it did have amazing views.

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.

Nice apartment-hotel, would stay again
Convenient location for supermarket and 600m to Southbank riverside. Nice apartment-hotel room, with good views of the Bay and Albert Park from the 30th floor. Would definitely stay again. Grateful to the lady at check-in who sorted my room for me when the first one wasn't quite what I thought I'd booked. Didn't use the pool but it looked good. Gym looked okay.

Booked through lastminute.com.au and told upon arrival that the room i had booked was sold out ( sky high room lvl 20 ) and was given a room on level 13 and told that it was my fault for not booking direct through the hotel so they were unwilling to help resolve the issue but i was assured i would love the view from my room.. my view was of the entrance to the burnley tunnel so that was disappointing to say the least but otherwise my stay was pleasant, quiet and uninterrupted.

It was alright if you’re looking for a modest stay. The low ratings are due to ceiling painting coming off (a lot) in the shower and the hallway smelling bad (a lot). The rest was fine

The pool was closed for maintenance and this was not disclosed prior to checking in, not was any compensation offered. Of course this is our of hotel management control but was a main feature of consideration in choosing this hotel so we were very disappointed that not into was it inaccessible but staff were unable to give an estimate of when it might be open again. It was closed for the duration of our stay. We also noticed that there were noisy drafts in our room due, we think, to window seal being inadequate. Other than that it was a nice apartment, nicely cleaned and maintained. Staff were friendly.

Overall the stay was good, great views and the room layout was flexible for 3 people. However I felt it was quite poor to have bars of soap with no area to have it sit on both the bathroom and kitchen. A hand soap pump would have been a lot better. Also has a sachet of dishwashing liquid and 1 toilet roll - this felt very cheap.
