Great stay, except digital key and Wifi
Pros:

The apartment itself is great, in an old but very nice buildings. The room has everything I need. I slept very well throughout the night and enjoyed it a lot! The staff deserve 11/10 as they are super friendly and helpful. The location is not “great great” for me as I were staying near Myer a few days before and I think that location is slightly better. Here, you have access to the parliament and the theater, that’s it. Not too many restaurants and bubble tea shops, which are my go-tos. I still need to travel by tram to get to the restaurants and everything.

Cons:

2 things: digital key and the wifi. I didn’t use the key after all. I think that is super redundant to download and waste of time. Instead, just go straigh to the cafe to check in. Wifi was terrible when I stayed there, esp. around 9-12pm. I ended up using my 4g and couldn’t watch anything on TV. Like it’s there, showing connection, pretty strong and decent, but you cannot open anything, it just kept loading forever. In the morning, the wifi is much better but still not quite good.

This apartment was excellent value for the price. Loves the free popcorn and drinks. Would definitely stay here again.ve
Pros:

The location was very good. Given the apartment was heritage listed really enjoyed the ambience. It was very nice to be upgraded.

Cons:

The only thing that needs to be addressed is the shower. The tiles need to be regrouted as it appears to be dirty when it was reasonably clean.

I liked the place, and will consider staying again if the check-in/out process can be improved.
Pros:

The location was very good - easy to get to via tram, train or uber.

Cons:

Checking in was ~ ok, although I felt I was just wandering around looking for someone/anyone who could assist me.
Checking out was problematic - hadn't received any emails/txts with instructions, where to leave the keys, etc. I'd sent
a txt to a previous number I'd received (check-in) help from, to request assistance, but nothing came back. I ended up
just getting someone from the kitchen (chef, possibly) to take my key/door-fobs. Not sure what would've happened if
I'd had to leave very early in the morning...

Stylish, Comfortable, and Well-Located
Pros:

The location was perfect for what we needed. The apartment itself was gorgeous and had such a cute, cohesive vibe. The furniture and renovation style really matched the overall aesthetic beautifully. The kitchen was fully equipped with great storage and had everything needed for a short stay.

Cons:

The only small thing to note was that there weren’t clear instructions on how to connect to or use the internet. My mum was the one staying in the apartment, and while it didn’t impact things significantly, it may be something to consider, particularly for guests who aren’t as confident with technology.

Ideal location in a Historical setting
Pros:

The location was perfect, close to all the public transport and very easy to find. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the building itself was beautiful. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Probably the only negative was that the hot water took an age to warm up. Understandable as it is in such an old building but a little frustrating when you're rushing.

Grand location and helpful staff.
Pros:

The helpful attitude and behavior of all staff we had contact with. The location suited us as it was easy to find and in the midst of the Theatre district. and numerous topflight bars and cafes. We enjoyed the heritage nature of The Gordon and its European feel.

Cons:

Some items in our suite required some attention and basic maintenance.
