The practical arrangement of a private bathroom for each sleeping area adds a welcome layer of comfort, and the building's amenities, from the pool to the sauna, contribute to a sense of well-being. It's a thoughtfully designed space that feels both stylish and remarkably functional, offering a solid value in a central Melbourne locale.”
