The apartment was spacious and contained all the things needed however I just felt it was a bit tired and not so clean. The floorboards in the kitchen had lifted and there were stains on the bathroom vanity overall was a pleasant enough place to stay and a good location

We stayed for four nights and had a large apartment with access to all the transport Melbourne had to offer. We were able to see metro trains, trams, and buses passing almost continuously fifteen stories below. Luckily our grandchildren were with us when we spotted helicopters landing on a landing strip on the Yarra (high rollers for the Crown casino... More

We stayed here on a Saturday night and couldn't hear anything which was a relief as there is a nightclub entrance right outside the entrance to the apartments. This place certainly isn't 5 star but it was cheap, clean and the staff were excellent. We arrived early and they let us into the room to get ready for a wedding.... More

The apartment we had is a 2 bedroom apartment of a good size facing the Yarra River and Crown Casino! Melbourne Aquarium is just across the road and Crown Casino is not more than a 10 mins leisure walk. There are some small convenience shops or Asian supermarket nearby but i preferred Coles or Woolsworth which is like 15-20mins walk... More

Location: Positive-close to the tram Negative-nightclub just around the corner and young people still loitering around the streets and lining up for nightclubs at 9am! Very loud. The room: Positive-big and spacious. Negative-smelt like smoke like you wouldn't believe. Must have been entrenched in all the furniture/curtains/carpet in the room. Was so bad we wanted to leave half way through... More

First, do not drive to the stated address of the hotel (474 Flanders Street). We took our car into the carpark at that address, and found that it was not the hotel lot. We had to back ourselves onto Flinders St. (hairy experience!) and search for the hotel reception. We parked on a side street and finally found the reception... More

We were impressed by the friendly staff here and what a terrific central location, we were able to walk everywhere though the tram and train services were so handy and easy to use we did the Melbourne tourist "thing" with ease.

We stayed here for 6 nights as a family of 5. We were impressed with the apartment as soon as we walked in. Spacious & clean. Altho a little tired looking decor wise we couldn't really complain as the views were amazing from the 16th floor, the price was awesome, especially for a family of 5 to stay that close... More

The Best Western Riverside was a big disappointment. We were three adults, all retirees, well travelled with a pretty fair idea of what to expect from a four star city centre hotel.. The main problems were as follows : - Our Apartment 1743 is a two bedroom unit (with a made up rollaway bed, unused by us). There is one... More
