The apparment tower is next to the Flagstaff Train station and within the free tram zone, which makes free public transport quity easy. Also the hotel is in walking distance to the CBD, a lot of restaurants, sightseeing spots (Melbourne Gaol, Parlament,...).
I guess it is rather new - the furniture is modern, fully equiped kitchen (incl. Oven!), nice bathroom and comfortable bed. The room has a good size and because we booked the studio appartment we had a nice few over flagstaff park and Melbourne Star.
only minuspoint: If you book via Expedia you have only 30min WIFI per day available (and it means if you use it on the first day at night, you cannot use it for the next 24 hours). It is not state-of-the-art do not offer free WIFI in my point of view.
A few days before the arrival I got a message from the hotel saying I can upgrade the room for a discounted amount. I answered to the given mail-adress in this message saying I would like to upgrade my room and did not get any answer. 2 days before our arrival I checked the hotel website and figured out that they gave me the wrong email-adresss, so I sent my mail again with the hint that they have given the wrong adress (i guess this is a standard mail and maybe more people did get this), I got the upgrade but was kind of disappointed that they did not even apologize for what was obviously there fault and they would not get the extra money, if I hadn't searched for the correct email address.
