Apartments in Victoria, Australia

Nice, clean, comfortable place to stay with great views........especially good location for Queen Vic Market, and easy to get in and out of the downtown if driving. Only two small complains: The room had a small nespresso machine: 2 people staying for 2 nights = only 2 coffee capsules! Not quite enough. I'm sure if we had asked at reception they would have sent a couple more, but for such a small thing, you shouldnt need to ask ! The other thing is the two way light switching is quite strange. Very difficult to work out how it worked and simply turn on the light in the room you are walking into. As I said....minor grumbles, and will definately stay again. One final point.....when we checked out we enquired about the possibility and rate for a long stay (about a month or so) later in the year. The receptionist said she would email me the information. Several weeks later, and I still havnt heard anything!

Great location and price! Close to everything, walking distance to shopping mall, food places and public transport. Tram is just outside the building, convenient to travel places. The room was spacious for 2 pax and clean. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again! 😀

Stayed here over two nights with my partner and we both were VERY happy with the stay. The ONLY thing unfortunately that we did not like was the fact that the bed sheets had several blood stains on them which was highly concerning. I called them for a replacement which they were HAPPY to do however i figured since i'm just staying for 1 more night i would use the extra blanket stored away in the room in hopes that no one really uses it and that it is clean throughout because it also gets washed after every stay. Unfortunately even that was kind of dirty with dried up white crumbs on the fabric (kind of looks like dried up dough). By then, it was already too late to call for a replacement and had to settle with that. The oven also could not close completely and i had to put a chair against and under the handle bar to keep it closed. Other than the blanket cleanliness and oven door, everything else was perfect. My partner and i absolutely loved the place and despite the negative aspects of the things mentioned, do keep in mind that the hotel staff were more than happy to fix the issue and were very friendly, which i did not take them up on the offer as i did not want to hassle them for just 1 more nights stay. Therefore, if you decide to stay here, just make sure you check everything and request anything before the after-hour times. Additionally, their customer service was also very friendly as previously mentioned. They also allowed a late check-out by 1 hour, free of charge which i really appreciated. They were very patient and exceptionally welcoming every time i spoke to them. The check in and check out process were all quick and easy and i would highly recommend a stay here. It's pricing is great as well and they are close to the CBD!

Location is great. Close to the public transport and easy to walk to CBD. About $10 dollar if you take Uber. The room is clean and tidy. Great value with this price. I booked the RM1313 and it has a balcony with the garden view. Parking rate is good but I couldn't get any spot there as it was fully booked. Recommend to book ahead as they have limited parking spaces. Staff at front desk is helpful and nice. There is a cafés just next door and it's easy to get a hot coffee in the early morning. Overall, excellent experience!

Stayed for a week during one of the busiest times of the year for Melbourne - AFL Grand Final week. We had 2 rooms. Property was in a great location - so central with trams on your doorstep and walking distance to places like Fed Square, Sealife Aquarium, Crown Complex, DFO, Burke Street Mall and the free City Circle tram. Rooms were clean and a good size with a little kitchenette which was handy. One room had a larger bathroom then the other but it was still more then adequate. We arrived very early before check in and were able to store our luggage while we went out for the day. On the ground floor was a small food court with a few different cuisines and a couple of good basic “cafe styles” which served good coffee and breakfasts. Would stay here again. Only minor complaints would be that one of our rooms wasn’t ready when we checked in (and we had flown the midnight horror so really was looking forward to a lie down lol) and we had to wait for it a couple of hours BUT as said before it was GF week so they were very busy. And one of the rooms was a bit more “tired” then the other but still more then adequate. I am nit picking really. We enjoyed our stay here.

Only thing i love about this apartment is the location. Its near to kultiple convinience store and a tran station just infront of it. Its also a 5 minutes walk to Queen Victoria Market. Nevertheless, a value for money place to just have a roof over your head for your trip/visit to Melbourne.

Everything about this place says Motel, not 5 Star Hotel. Lack of housekeeping - our room was cleaned twice in 7 days and not well. We eventually got fed up and asked for clean towels. When we were at reception checking in, there were other guests complaining about their dirty rooms. Fifth restaurant - the breakfast buffet was terrible. There was no omelette bar or even a basic pancake machine. No option for included barista-made coffees either, which is a minimum at any “5 star” hotel. Strato restaurant - we booked this for a special occasion. There was zero recognition of this. They put us at a table beside the kitchen door and in a corner with no views despite a good corner table being empty the entire time we were there. We waited 30 mins each for 2 courses and we’re still eating 30 mins after the 2 hour allocation. The ambience was constantly disturbed by the kitchen yelling “service please!” Only upside was the extra bread and free mocktail they offered us, I assume due to the slow service. Slow lifts - we had to allocate an extra 15 mins to our departure whenever leaving the room. Poor service - as per already stated, the service was very poor if you compare it to any other 5 star hotel. It was average if you think you’re at a motel. Additionally, because they were training staff, service at the lobby bar was ridiculously slow. We waited 15 mins for them to serve 2 wines. Reception also ran out of vouchers (part of our package) and told us to come back later and say “we forgot to pick up some of our vouchers” rather than acknowledging their error. Location - we knew this going in but it is a long walk into the CBD and you need a Myki card because the nearest tram stop is outside the free zone. In summary: Avoid this place if you are looking for luxury. We booked this for a special occasion and were sorely disappointed. The only good thing is the views from some parts of the restaurants.

Need a bit more detailing in cleaning and in services. Overall a good place but could be much better if Management check the rooms after Housekeeping and if its not impossible do inform the Person in advance when Housekeeping is coming and kindly advise Housekeeping to clean the room on daily basis as on my 3 day stay Housekeeping only came once when I was out and did nothing on the name of cleaning just moved the things from one place to other.

We stayed in the Two Bedroom Executive Apartment which is a composed of 2 room-type having good privacy. The room is quiet and clean. No daily housekeeping but we can request for towels and garbage bag from reception when required. The staff are helpful. This apartment is a bit far from city centre on foot, but it is within the free zone so we can take the free tram at the Parliament Station.

I recently stayed at Imagine Lighthouse in Melbourne and was blown away by the modern, stylish apartments and excellent location. The view from my Room at floor 61 was stunning and mesmerizing, I could see the entire city. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities like a Super Large Pool and well equipped GYM I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly. My special Thanks to Mr. KIT on reception for being a great Host and a Friend and providing great recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend Imagine Lighthouse for anyone visiting Melbourne.

The picture on the website is for a front room. It cost us $190 for Thursday Sunday and Monday and $198 for Friday and Saturday nights. It's right on Lygon Street which is very noisy with traffic. The room had a small balcony. Curiously there's no hotel chain represented in Carlton, but having stayed at the Clocktower (which is VERY basic) we opted for this property. It does have a small lift but you walk through the carpark, past boxes and bits of old furniture, rubbish bins etc. to get to it. The room itself was quite big, with a separate bathroom (very small shower) and kitchenette area. It was clean and the towels were good, toilet paper very cheap and thin, always a worry. The air conditioner in our room stopped working the night before we left, and the bathroom door handle became very loose as a screw fell out of it. Lygon St itself looks sad, with many restaurants and shops up for lease or closed permanently, thanks to Covid. For nearly a thousand dollars for 5 nights, we will not be staying here again.

It was my first time traveling to Australia and I chose a serviced apartment. The greedy thing is that you can buy it at any time and go back to the apartment to cook food at any time! Although the entire area is not as large as expected, it is fully functional. There are dishwashers, cooking stoves, ovens, etc., and there is a small terrace outside. The scenery is looking towards the building, but you can sit down and relax. In addition, you can choose a single bed, the mattress is of moderate hardness, but the mattresses are relatively thin. If it were bigger, I think it could add more points. Finally, you need to go to the underground counter to collect supplies, so it feels inconvenient to have to remember what you need to collect all at once.

Great location with tram stop close by and Victoria Markets and Lygon Street each a 10 minute walk. Clean modern well designed room with fully equipped kitchen and laundry plus a very nice view. Staff very welcoming and attended to a few requests without fuss. Our go to place to stay in Melbourne!

The room facilities are very complete and very convenient. The location of the hotel is clean and there are many restaurants nearby. There are various choices. If you want to cook yourself, you can also shop nearby. The service staff is kind and courteous.

Maybe it was once nice but it has got so many issues with it and I highly recommend you look elsewhere. We stayed in a two bedroom one bathroom apartment and it was honestly the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We were assigned room 2201W. Here are the issues we encountered during our four night stay. 1. Power outage on our last day with no back up generator for the entire building (both east and west). It’s 31 degrees outside so opening the doors is also not a smart option. Started at 9am and is already over 4 hours. As I have breastmilk in the fridge for my 3 month old, this is my worst nightmare. 2. Safe battery is low. Why hasn’t anyone changed it??? 3. Bathroom shower head plate is broken so water sprays at you un-uniformly and overall unpleasant. 4. Water drips out of the shower but the fall doesn’t go to the drain so the floor remains flooded. 5. Due to point number 4, the bottom of the bathroom door has expanded and the door does NOT close. It is so jammed that it feels like you’d break the handle trying to jam the latch in and back out. 6. Stupid placement of the microwave. You can’t open the microwave door more than 45 degrees. How on earth do you put a dinner plate in there??? 7. Missing cups/ mugs and glasses. 3 mugs, two short glasses, two tall glasses and odd numbered cutlery. Just fix it, for crying out loud! The top rack of the dishwasher was also broken making it difficult to pull in and out the middle rack. 8. Upon check in, we didn’t have any cleaning supplies such as dishwashing tablets, hand washing liquid for dishes or laundry powder. 9. Rooms are so tiny. Don’t expect to be able to open your medium sized luggages inside your room. We kept our two in the so called living space instead. 10. Generally upkeep is not there. Walls have visible stains and grime from previous guests. The whole place just overall felt really really filthy. 11. Not family friendly either. There is a flight of stairs at the entry and no ramp. There is a wheelchair elevator to the side which takes way too long to operate with a crying baby. If you’re on your own, be prepared to lift you pram up or hope a Good Samaritan can help you because the hotel staff won’t. Clearly there are issues within management and housekeeping. I sense laziness and lack of hospitality understanding is to blame. STAY ELSEWHERE!!!

Location, cleanliness, and facilities in this hotel were very good, though the staff weren't very friendly they helped me whenever I had a concern or a request making things lot easy. Yes Optus couldn't get any network on my iphone, I couldn't use any mobile data or do hot spot. There were only two lifts, and long wait for lift is a disappointment particularly on busy days, and the lifts were also very cramped when there were more traffic. There isn't a computer desk or a computer chair, so if you travel for business it hurts your back.The dining chairs were also pretty ordinary for the Oaks brand. Location is the best for public transport or simply roaming around the Yarra river and southbank, flinders street is a short walk from the apartment. The apartment in general was very clean, and the amenities were also very good, bed and bathroom were neat too.

We were originally booked into another Arise property that suited our inner CBD requirements but a week before arriving we were contacted and advised the air-con in the building was broken and were offered a like-for-like transfer to Australia 108. After reading some very negative reviews it was with trepidation that we arrived by Uber from the airport, after an early morning flight. The instructions to call or text on arrival were clear and there was very little waiting time before were met in the lobby and told our apartment was ready, despite it being 9.30am (we were only expecting to be able to drop our bags). We were shown to our apartment on the 51st floor and were not disappointed. Although the rooms are small it was more than adequate for our visit as we only planned on using the apartment for sleeping as we had a lot of tourism things planned. Everything in the apartment was in working order and it was clean and tidy. The view was amazing - we even experienced four hot-air balloons flying past the building on their way to Yarra Valley! We received a complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates for the inconvenience of having to transfer from our original preferred location - but it really wasn't necessary as we were very happy with the change. The apartment was not serviced during our stay of three nights - but given there was a washing machine and drier, we just washed our towels each day. We preferred not having the apartment serviced anyway. The beds were extremely comfortable. There were only enough bathroom amenities for one night, but we prefer to use our own shampoo/conditioner/body wash anyway. Location was excellent - just a 2 minute walk to the Southbank/Crown ****** promenade and an easy walk into the CBD. All in all this was an excellent stay with no issues - and the staff communicated really well. Just a note - this is not a hotel - so don't book here if you are expecting hotel service with staff at your beck and call 24/7! And yes, the windows are not sparkling clean - but we were 51 floors up a 100+ floor tower - they don't exactly clean the windows every week!

We chose QWS because it is superbly located for the city and cultural quarter but without any road noise. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Really friendly staff who give you their time, nothing too much trouble and a very good breakfast choice. We stayed for 6 nights and loved every minute of our stay. Being an apartment type hotel with residents meant that we were treated as guests not simply people passing through. We had a late flight back to London and Stephen kindly arranged for us to freshen up in a room before departing for the airport. To top it all we were upgraded to a lovely suite on the 8th floor without even asking. What a welcome. If only all accommodation providers could match the customer service we received holidays would always be great. Well done team QWS !!

everything about Saint Domain Coventry Street is just Beautiful, the staff are amazingly Respectful the location is Location is just amazingly convenient, the rooms are just blissfully zen!! Everything about this place is just perfect even the rate are jaw drooping fantastically affordable well done guys!! Star Ratings ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely a 10 / 5 StarRatings -Shaz.xo ..804

Although it was originally designed for a hotel near the concert venue, it was unexpectedly found to be very close to the CBD. The hotel is a tram stop for five minutes, very convenient, and there are also 711 convenience stores nearby. It may be because of the nearby decoration + I was the road idiot at the beginning to find the wrong, but after finding the right place, I found the lobby feels good! The staff is very nice, the room is comfortable and beautiful, the facilities are complete and the heating is adequate. Slippers and toothbrushes need to be brought. Towels and beds are changed every day. Breakfast needs to be added, and you will be asked if you need a parking space. It is also very good to mention the safety of the hotel. The elevator needs to be swiped to pick up the floor keys. With a photo of my sister and my geese. I will choose here later.

Good location, convenient to go anywhere. The commercial music downstairs in the evening is a bit noisy, probably after 22:00. It’s very convenient to eat, leaving it. On the night of arrival, because the plane got late late, the hotel reception was off work at 20:00, but I met two foreign guys to help me solve the check in, and also guided me to the door of the room. Really feel that everything is beautiful and harmonious

The hotel is close to the Southbank shopping area and has great views. The hotel is on a very busy intersection and we had a lot of difficulty parking out the front. The hotel entrance is confusing and not obvious. The reception and restaurant area is all black and very dark, which may be fashionable but its not practical. The 2 bedroom apartment was surprising small and the bathroom and shower were too tight for tall people. The closed balcony was safe and allowed for a little fresh air. The air conditioner in our room did not work and it was to hot to sleep. The lighting was also a strange set up, you could not turn on the bathroom lights without turning on all the lounge lights. We had dinner and breakfast at the venue and dinner was very good. The cold breakfast selections were average and only melon was available for fresh fruit. The orange juice was terrible. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Although the location is not in the city, it is very close to the city. Not far from the Royal Botanic Gardens, the hotel is clean and the service is very good.
