Collins House Apartments by CLLIX

This apartment hotel is great! It has two separate rooms and bathrooms, plus a kitchen where we could prepare our own meals, which made it feel really homey and cozy. The location is excellent, making it super convenient to get around, and there's a supermarket close by too.

This apartment was my longest stay during my trip to Australia. I stayed here three separate times and experienced two different room types. Overall, it was good, especially for those who want to cook for themselves. The kitchenware was fairly complete, and there were several supermarkets, both large and small, nearby. There's a separate laundry room. The bathrooms all have no windows. Showers, bath towels, etc., are provided, though the towels and bedding aren't new. Cleanliness was acceptable, and the service was good; any dirty spots were promptly addressed. It's very convenient to get to the city's attractions, like David Jones, either by walking or taking the tram.

The location is convenient, with two tram stations downstairs, both within the Free Tram Zone. It's also about a 15-20 minute walk to Southern Cross and Flinders Street train stations. The facilities are comprehensive, including a washer-dryer combo, fridge, oven, microwave, stovetop, and dishwasher, which are perfect for preparing daily dinners. We even bought some Australian beef (fillet) from Coles and cooked it – it was delicious! However, the security is quite strict; for your first entry, you must *call* to get the building door opened for check-in.
