Always good, does the job

I stay here often when I travel for work. It is in a great location for my office and it's always clean and well equipped. Sometimes little things don't work (a plug that doesn't fit the bath tub, a tv missing a cable etc) but the staff are responsive via WhatsApp even on the after hours number.

Positives (1) location right of Sth Yarra high street (2) good amount of space (its a full 1-bed apartment complete with full kitchen, small dining table and lounge) (3) decent price (4) helpful staff Negatives (1) its a renovated motel so its not luxury fittings and fixtures (2) bit of light pollution in bedroom (needs blackout blinds) (3) bathroom is a bit cold in winter

Gorgeous and quirky

We loved staying here - the lady who checked us in was super friendly and made us feel very welcome; she was lovely. The hotel is quirky and unique - very comfortable and spacious with everything we could want. It's an older building but was perfectly clean, and its furnishings comfy and quirky. It is within a 2 minute walk to South Yarra train station which was great as well, and there's an abundance of cafes and restaurants within easy reach. Highly recommend!

The apartments have a fun modern design, but it's clear they have just "gone over" the top of the existing old building creating some awkward shaped spaces. It's in a really convenient area, close to lots of shops/dining and the train station.
