"We book this apartment because we see in the picture there is a balcony looking over the Lygon street, yet we got a room that looking over the back of a building.
The picture in the web looks big (we book executive suite), but somehow it does not reflect to the one we got.
There is no free parking, but plenty of parking across the street.
Yet I think with this price, I may be better staying at a hotel instead."

"The room is clean and tidy. I especially like the tree outside the window, the breeze, the sunshine, and the mottled light and shadow.
It is very close to the city center and Chinatown, about 8 minutes walk away. The hotel staff is warm and polite.
I was a little reluctant to check out - a little bit of You can check out anytime, but your heart can never leave. I am not too interested in taking pictures, so I don’t have any pictures. The scene is only in my heart and in my mind.
If you don’t like barefoot, remember to bring a pair of slippers, because there are no slippers in the room."

"The location is great—close to the CBD, so no issues there. However, the bathroom layout was disappointing. There was no holder for essentials inside the shower, and the towel rack was placed far from the shower area. I'm not sure how they came up with such an impractical design.
Overall, I’d say the hotel deserves an average rating."

"Great location. Right in the heart of the city. If you like to walk it takes 15-20 minutes to get to everything in the city. Staff are very helpful and polite. Access to washing machine and dryer for 5 dollars. Also gym has decent cardio equipment and cable machine plus free weights. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Will definitely recommend."

"We had a wonderful family stay at The Eminence. The location is excellent, just a short 10-minute walk to Melbourne’s CBD, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The service was outstanding throughout our visit. Victoria and her team were consistently responsive and helpful, promptly assisting us with any enquiries we had.
One of the highlights for us was the secure private parking, which made travelling by rental car incredibly convenient, especially for day trips outside the city centre. The apartment itself was spacious, well-appointed, and thoughtfully equipped. We appreciated the clean and ready-to-use amenities, including a dishwasher, oven, washer and dryer, and a full set of kitchen cutlery.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, comfortable, well-located, and supported by a great team. We had happily stay here again on our next visit to Melbourne."

"The Elgin Carlton Studios was small but perfect for a single or a couple for a few nights. Well located near to many restaurants with an enjoyable walk through parks to zoo precinct and easy tram return. Hot water wasn’t available but I’m sure the helpful team at the studios jumped onto that."
