5/5 Excellent
"We found the apartment to be very comfortable and spacious. They have great amenities such as the pool and laundry. It was so nice to just park and enjoy Melbourne by foot or tram. Very close to many restaurants, shops and Queen Victoria Market. We highly recommend Pegasus Apart hotel."
