Disliked: Amenities
Several of the listed amenities were not available. The studio apartments lack a dishwasher and laundry services even within the building. The room's condition was heavily worn and unclean particularly the bathtub/shower. Also very limited front desk help. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Melbourne Apt Hotel on Elgin. We used their laundry services and they're very close to the trams. Many eateries nearby too.

Room was comfortable and quiet as it faced east, away from Lygon Street. There was a an unpleasant smell in the lifts and corridors. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. Hot water could take 15 minutes to come on.

Run down but clean.
The rooms were quite run down. There were multiple holes in the carpet and the toilet seat had a weird texture like the paint layer was cracking. The water temperature in the shower was inconsistent, and would flutuate even when the knob wasn't touched.
The kitchen was poorly stocked - 1 knife, 2 forks, 2 teaspoons and no big spoons. There was some plates etc.
It was generally clean and the bed was reasonable.
Hotel was quiet and in a nice area. The hotel was quick to respond to emails and had a good late check in process.

Good location, close to Lygon street, but far enough back that its quiet enough. Walking distance to the city, but again far enough away that you can see the sky.
The man at the desk was not very friendly when we arrived
We had no hand towels in the room, no bath mat and wifi didn’t work
Girl at the desk today was very friendly & helpful
