Great location in proximity to the Exhibition centre at which I was attending a conference. Walking distance to everything you might need for a short stay. The breakfast was lovely, the coffee was good and a room service meal for dinner was divine. Very well appointed apartment. My only criticism is that the grout between the tiles in the shower could do with a really good scrub. The staff were all lovely and accommodating.
The place was a great spot in Southbank. Within walking distance to the many of the features. Great gym and breakfast. A special shout out to Paul from the Edwin Cellars Bar. He knows his wine and is always happy to recommend great wines to try.

Lovely staff, great breakfast. Room was perfect along with the amenities.
Good size accommodation for a convenient location with tram at your doorstep. Only small negative shower water went from one extreme to the next and took a while to just get to warm water
