Urban Apartments Melbourne on Elizabeth

The hotel usually runs from a program that allows your room key to be on your phone. This wouldn't work for my phone, and instead of becoming bothered, the gentleman at the desk was more than happy to help me get sorted, showing great kindness and promptness in his response and help! The room itself was lovely and spacious, with plenty of room to make you feel right at home! The bed was beyond comfortable, as were the sofas and chairs. There were a few treats left by the hotel, too, which made it a warm welcome from Sydney. Despite being on one of the busiest streets, I would not say the room was overly loud, and was in fact a bit better than I anticipated due to the traffic! This apartment is set to become my sure-fire stay next time I visit Melbourne City!!

I received a text to confirm my arrival time. There was someone at reception when I arrived. The location is superb. It is very central and you can get to where you need on foot or tram. The apartment was spacious. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom. The facilities are a little worn but fine. There is plenty of space in the apartment and everything you need. It was warm on arrival and there were some bottles of water and snacks for us - which the kids loved.

Excellent location, in the free tram zone, close to transport, shopping and food. A short walk to Hardware Lane, Swanston Street (Chinatown), a few stops on the tram to Queen Victoria Markets, Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, etc... Melbourne is a walkable city. Easy getting groceries from Coles, Woolworths or convenience stores across the road. Alberto at the reception is friendly and helpful. The complimentary toiletries were pleasant and nice to see it is locally made.

The property operates with both a digital key app and or swipe cards. I was unable to download the app by the required time as I was arriving from Europe late in the evening and concierge only operates from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. The night manager was however able to meet me after midnight and let me in and provide swipe cards for my stay. The property is a large older style unit with kitchenette and washing machine. I had great facilities and was both comfortable and well located for a couple visiting central Melbourne.

It was centrally located and very comfortable and excellent value for money.It was quiet and very roomy.
