Being in and out of Melbourne over a 3-week period and staying at a number of properties, I booked what I assumed was the Riverside Apartments direct on the hotel website. Upon arrival I was given a room in the Highlander Apartments located around the corner, my fault...i did not check what property I had booked. I spent less than 1 minute in the Highlander and as soon as I got into the elevator I told the employee that was showing me the room the location and appearance of the apartments did not appeal to me and I would like to move to the Riverside...not a problem "but more expensive"......again with the Riverside Apartments I walked in and out, seemed very dated and dim. Early 70's decoration, again my opinion from the very short time I spent in there. Staff were helpful and understanding and a credit was given on my card without any fuss. Maybe my expectations were a little high and I would have gladly paid a price that give me a decent room. I,m sure this accomodation suits others and I may be unfair by being quick to judge, but from my experience with the 4 properties I stayed during my Melbourne trips I think this accomodation falls short of what is on offer in Melbourne. I class the accomodation as turnaround...walk in turnaround and walk out. Make sure you do your homework.

Great location. We are regular guests at this property and love the spacious rooms and great location. Rooms face out over the river and you can watch the flames in front of the Casino at night. Rooms have a full kitchen, laundry and are ideal for a family. Only problem is parking (they charge around $20.00 per night). I thought this a bit rich, but hey, it is the middle of Melbourne. No facilities outside of the room, but why would you need them when the city is at your doorstep. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a spacious apartment style room in Central Melbourne at a reasonable price

Our friends were over from the UK and asked us to find an apartment in the Melbourne CBD where they could stay for 3 nights, We booked them onto Riverside Apartments as it sounded like the 2 bedroom apartment (we found them through the riverside website) would be ideal for a family of 4. On the 2nd night of their stay our friends invited us to see the flames at the casino from the apartment. The view was great and the rooms were huge. We collected our friends on check-out and they thanked the receptionist for a great stay. The lovely girl on reception mentioned they had new management and were undergoing renovations and apologised for the workmen passing through but this did not upset us. Highly Recommended.

This is one of the biggest apartments that I have stayed in while in Melbourne. The location is great however the units are above a strip of nightclubs and discos that pump out booming music until 3.30am. It is impossible to get to sleep. Given this we won't be booking again. The free carparking was great and the service excellent. The noise was the only thing going against the place.
