i found the location very convenient, close to transport and attractions. the staff were genuinely helpful, especially arnie, elvie, and nam. the restaurant offered great food at reasonable prices. i upgraded to a river view room with a balcony, and it was well worth it.
the bathroom screen didn't slide well. it needs attention to ensure smooth operation. it was a minor inconvenience but noticeable.

i appreciated the spacious serviced apartment and found it suitable for my needs. The staff, from reception to housekeeping, was consistently friendly and helpful. Onsite parking was very convenient, especially given the city center location. The proximity to the yarra river and the promenade with various food options was a big plus for me.
The wifi signal in my room was unfortunately weak. It made it difficult to do any work. I had hoped for a stronger connection.
