“Great location for MCG/Rod Laver”

A great apartment with plenty of space in the Superior 2 bedroom - the extra half bedroom with a single bed was a bonus making it 3 bedrooms.

A great apartment with plenty of space in the Superior 2 bedroom - the extra half bedroom with a single bed was a bonus making it 3 bedrooms. We were on the top (7th) floor and noise from current construction wasn't too bad. Excellent location for anything at the MCG/Rod Laver, both within walking distance. An IGA and tram stop just around the corner with plenty of nearby eateries. Overall a very good stay.

“Good stay but one major potential problem.”

My 1 bedroom superior apartment I stayed in for 3 nights was great, it was spacious, clean and modern. The location of the hotel is unbeatable especially if wanting to go the MCG, Melbourne Park AO tennis etc. It is a 15 minute walk through the gardens to get there.

My 1 bedroom superior apartment I stayed in for 3 nights was great, it was spacious, clean and modern. The location of the hotel is unbeatable especially if wanting to go the MCG, Melbourne Park AO tennis etc. It is a 15 minute walk through the gardens to get there. It is also on the edge of city so only 5 - 10 minutes walk into the centre of Melbourne and all the shopping. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The price I also thought was very reasonable. While several others have commented about the construction I knew this going into it and came prepared with a white noise machine (ROHM they are great and small travel size). But I thought the hotel handled the situation very well, for starters in reception they had a massive bowl of industrial grade ear plugs that you could take for free, on the welcome letter it listed all the times the construction was scheduled etc. (e.g. there is no work on Sunday). I slept fine and was maybe woken up once but quickly got back to sleep as it’s not that loud and after all this is outside the hotel’s control. But a major concern and disappointment was that my room was the 1 bedroom superior apartment when in actual the fact the bedroom and living room is separated by a blind (see attached picture and actually the room’s floorpan slightly shows this on the hotel’s website). It didn’t affect me as I was travelling alone but if had I been staying with someone else it would have frustrated me because the other person can’t be in the other room without hearing or seeing them (noise and light insulation from the thin blind was non-existent). I think it is pretty deceptive too (and doesn’t mention anywhere in writing it is separated by a blind), while I guess it is technically a 1 bedroom apartment it is not really, I would implore the hotel to just put a wall there.
