Great location in proximity to the Exhibition centre at which I was attending a conference. Walking distance to everything you might need for a short stay. The breakfast was lovely, the coffee was good and a room service meal for dinner was divine. Very well appointed apartment. My only criticism is that the grout between the tiles in the shower could do with a really good scrub. The staff were all lovely and accommodating.
The place was a great spot in Southbank. Within walking distance to the many of the features. Great gym and breakfast. A special shout out to Paul from the Edwin Cellars Bar. He knows his wine and is always happy to recommend great wines to try.

Good size accommodation for a convenient location with tram at your doorstep. Only small negative shower water went from one extreme to the next and took a while to just get to warm water

Room was lovely and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly . Location is great. Close to the casino, Melbourne CBD, DFO, Tram to the city and St. Kilda. Easy walk to all the restaurants on Southbank. Only disappointment was the size of the pool. Overall our stay was really enjoyable

Staff very friendly & helpful.
A few more standard tea-bags would have been appreciated, instead of all the herbal ones.
Very comfortable stay.

Great location with a tram stop outside. Servo with a cafe right across road or walking distance to some supermarkets. Casino a 2 minute walk away
Room was spacious and clean. Hotel is in good walkable distance from Southbank/Crown area and has a tram stop out the front. Supermarket very close by. Unfortunately, pre-stay communication was poor and check-in was very lengthy.
