Advertised as a luxury apartment with a double bed and a sofa bed this was far from luxury. All were in the same room, the living area 3 x 5 metres. Ok for one person maybe two but three.....don't do it! Also the check in is computerised and was not working. Not the most ideal situation after 10pm in an... More

Very Nice….friendly and accommodating staff. Great apartment and good location. Within walking distance of many takeaways and restaurants and only a quick cable car ride to the city. Would highly recommend for short or long stays.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2013

An overnight stay before catching the ferry the next day. A very clean and functional apartment but certainly not what I'd choose for an extended stay. A "robot" apartment - no front desk or (apparently) staff on site. Everything was managed remotely - a fairly straightforward set of instructions at the front door guide you through the process of accessing... More

The good: clean with a comfortable bed, big TV, free wi-fi, good kitchen, and a nice bathroom. The bad: right on busy Kings way and very, very noisy traffic. Had to wear earplugs to be able to sleep at night.

Zara Apartments would have to be one of the nicest places I have stayed in and I travel around a lot for work. The location is close to everything and I found the apartments very affordable, comfortable with fantastic customer service.

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are on about but I found this apartment to be one of the best I have stayed at in Melbourne. Check in was very simple, no need to wait for anyone. Room was very spacious and clean. All you need in a weekend stay, kitchen, bathroom, bed and internet. There are no room... More

Rooms are a great size with all amenities required and room avaliable for extra guests if needed. Very clean and great bathroom! The apartments were well priced and staff were friendly and helpful with our numerous enquiries.... More

We stayed here on a very very cheap rate- even with this cheap rate there is no way I would recommend this hotel. The location is RIGHT on Kings Ways. If you plan on sleeping then don't bother staying. The location for us was just too far out and away from everything- you couldn't walk to anything. Checkin was a... More
