Great basic short stay accommodation
Pros:

Room was clean, modern & comfortable as you would expect from a recently opened (July 2024) hotel
Close to Flagstaff gardens & Queen Vic Market, as well as a nice stroll to the Bourke St Mall

Cons:

Was disappointed that our room was only on the 8th floor & didn’t have a nice view of the Flagstaff gardens as depicted in the photos for our particular room type.
The bed was comfortable but way too low - great for young adults but not for regular adults. No one looks elegant climbing in & out of almost floor level bedding.
The TV was also only a small size & not the 55” on the hotel website & there was no air con / fan in the bedroom

Melbourne Escape
Pros:

Spacious well appointed and clean room. Lovely pool area and gym. Easy walk to Skybus and Southern Cross station.

Cons:

Room sounded like a wind tunnel. Double bed too small for two people for more than a couple of nights. Towels need upgrading.

Styish, zentral und komfortabel
Pros:

Sehr elegantes Design, alles war perfekt durchdacht, neuwertig und super sauber! Uns hat grundsätzlich alles an dieser Unterkunft gefallen!

Vor allem der Blick aus dem Bett war phänomenal, zumal der Spiegelschrank den Eindruck eines riesigen Panoramafensters noch verstärkt hat.
Das Bett selbst war auch schön hart und bequem, auch die Kopfkissen waren gut gepolstert und nackenfreundlich.
Die Dusche war herrlich groß, luxuriös und hatte tollen Wasserdruck.
Der Waschtrockner war sogar von Bosch und hat 1a funktioniert.

Die Lage war super zentral an der Train / Bus Station, zu Fuss war es aber ein Stückchen zum Fluss, beim nächsten Mal würden wir ggf. sehen ob wir etwas finden was noch näher am Ufer liegt.

Cons:

Ein paar Kleinigkeiten:

Das Bett war relativ klein für 2 Personen, ich denke 160cm. Dabei hätte ein bequemes 200x200 Bett locker ins Schlafzimmer gepasst.

Die Klimaanlage war relativ schwachbrüstig und zudem nur im Wohnraum - es gab aber einen Standventilator der der Luft zwischen den Räumen in Bewegung hielt.

Der Toilettendeckel fiel immer von alleine zu (Apartment 1620 glaube ich) und hatte keinen Softclose.

Other than the TV issue we had a wonderful stay at Apsire.
Pros:

Clean and spacious. Close to everything we needed and staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Cons:

The TV in the apartment we stayed in needs to be updated to accommodate streaming services such as Netflix. We wanted a chill night in one of the evenings and were looking forward to just watching a movie and relaxing, but couldn’t as the tv wasn’t a smart tv. We were only able to watch free to air and were limited to anything decent.

Pros:

The location is great to get around. Close to everything and really enjoyed the steam room and pool.

Cons:

I would have liked a tv in the main bedroom as it helps me sleep and if there were fans available. It was hot both nights and the only source of cooling was the split con in the lounge. I woke up sweating multiple times. Apart from that, everything else was great.

Loved it! Will return
Pros:

Such a beautiful modern apartment with stunning views of the park

Cons:

Didn’t realise the bedroom wouldn’t have aircon but we just kept the door open from the living room aircon and used a pedestal fan and it was fine but the apartment gets hot in the day from the giant glass windows lucky Melbourne is cold 90% of the time
