Property is in a great location and is safe and secure. Over Fri - Mon the appartement was only restocked once with towels, even after a request. Wouldnt have been an issue except that we only had one towel per guest. Checkin was easy and staff were very polite

I booked 2 nights here in late January due to the excellent location - which was indeed excellent for walking in the city. They called me to say the lift was out of order could we take stairs to the first floor - we did, and that was okay. The problem was the cleanliness of the apartment on check-in was not what I would expect: hairs in the bathroom sink and on the floor, hand prints and cup marks on the glass coffee table, a contact lens on the carpet and thick dust on doors and skirtings. I am afraid I would not choose to stay here again for that reason, but the location is great.

5 Star, in all respects.
Great service and beautiful apartments. Life got spoilt and we were moved to a very flash apartment at no extra cost. People are very friendly, professional and accomodating. Superb location, as well. Will visit again.

Great location, good stay. Friendly reception staf
The apartment wasn’t the one in the picture shown here. However, there was a warm welcome and the apartment was very clean and comfortable. Location was excellent, close to shops, trams and bars - recommend The Crafty Squire for a nice beer. Minor negatives are that the apartment definitely needed updating and had some marks (looked like bleach spillage) on the carpets BUT we really enjoyed staying here and would stay again.

Very convenient, elegant and spacious apartment
Very convenient, elegant and spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in the centre of everything. We were upgraded to a penthouse plus balcony, with partial view to the Yarra River. Staff were very helpful and anxious to please. Just remember to bring your slippers in winter because none were provided and staff aren’t there after 6pm. Great 2-night stay there and a fabulous place to meet up with friends from out of town. Thank you!

Fantastic property in a great location. Staff were really helpful when our flights were delayed (and delayed and delayed...) and our check in time was pushed back by hours and hours. Amazing location, within easy walking distance of everything, and close to public transport.

The flinders landing staff were amazing! above and beyond to make us happy. Unfortunately these lovely apartments are well dated. Bathroom needs to be updated as well as some work on soundproofing the apartments as you could hear street noise and neighboring apartments all day and night. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable leaving most of my group with little to no sleep for 5 days. Would stay again for the brilliant staff but these apartments need a lot of updating.

We had basement apartment 1. It was perfect for an overnight stay. Recently refurbished all furnishings were of brand new standard. The apartment as quite large sleeping 4 people. The only improvement would be a bigger TV (about the size of a large computer monitor) which was quite small for an apartment that size. Staff were very friendly and provided lots of information about public transport and how to get around the city.

Good price for in the city I guess. Carpet was pretty gross. Quite poky. But I guess we are from the country and used to more open spaces.

We booked the 3 bedroom 2 toilets apartment. Checking in was smooth. Upon entering the apartment, it was tidy, neat and nice. But we realised there were thick layer of dust on top of cabinets and bedside table. Maybe it was left unoccupied for quite some time. Then we realised one of the heater isn’t working during winter time. The location is great but sound proofing is bad. We can clearly hear people shouting till middle of the night. On the 2nd night onwards, the hot water isn’t working. We couldn’t have hot shower! Had to wait till morning to take a shower. It looks like its a shared water tank with the other units. Overall not a good experience. Given the price we paid ($500 per night), it is not worth it

Response from Manager on 5 Sept 2022
Thanks Scott,Your feedback is very important to us. We feel sorry for that you had unpleasant stay. Our three bedroom apartment is very popular and always booked out during the weekend. Your building is heritage property opposite the federal square, it normally very quiet during weekdays but it is not noisy during weekend. Sorry for that. Our apartments are normal residential apartments. There is individual hot water unit in each apartment and it automatically boils when temperatures are low. It might be there are 6 people and 2 kids staying, it does take time to boil again when all hot water used over in winter time. All the other residents don’t have this issue and previous guests didn’t mention this especially they had bath as well. After you compliant, we did get professional technician to check and was advised the hot water unit is in good condition. With the cleaning issue, thanks for bringing to us and our housekeeping supervisor has getter team to fix. We do apologies for this. As our phone service is 24/7, we did mention to ring us whenever you have issue. If no hot water on first night, we would like to give you another apartment for you all to use bathrooms. We have staff onsite during night time and we are happy to help. Once again thanks for staying with us.
