The kettle was broken when we arrived tried contacting reception via phone multiple times and couldn’t get through, finally got through and was told another would be sent up, the next morning still no kettle I needed to contact reception again, plugged in the toaster to find it set off safety switch and also was not working and needed to have that also replaced, asked for more towels as we were using the pool we were given one towel and told another would be sent to our room which it was not. Cinema not working or available either. There was also an issue with the lift while we were there. Have since spoken to other family members that have stayed over a year ago and they said they encountered very similar issues in their stay.

The room was ok, not the cleanest hairs (including middle body hair) on floor, maintenance required to fix sliding door in bedroom that was fixed, but the balcony door lock tried to be fixed but never got fixed so I couldn’t let my kids stay with me for 4 of the 5 nights I was there they so they had to stay with in laws. Requested shower gel on day two and day three which never arrived. The TV is off centre for no reason, not sure why not central in front of the sofa where it belongs. Rug is very dirty with sticky stuff on it. Reception staff nice, and hotel ok, but a middle rating based on the above, for obvious reasons not having my kids with me in the apartment for 4 of the 5 nights stay was frustrating, was given a bottle of cheap wine as compensation, not really adequate given the circumstances.

Foyer and all extrnal areas are very nice. Once you enter your room the level drops. Rooms designed on very low budget, making them ok if this was a somewhat, modern 3 star hotel. Shower was putrid, and stank.

Clean and tidy but a very outdated apartment. Spacious living areas but tiny rooms - no where to fit a suitcase. Location is ok but nothing in the immediate area, so with melbournes 4 seasons in a day you gotta walk quite a bit to get any food or drinks. Its nice they give some milk in the fridge, but no tea or coffee available?? If all you want is a clean place to sleep then this will do.
