Curtains falling down, bad paintwork, hideous white melamine wardrobe with mirror doors in an otherwise reasonably decorated apartment. They located us right under reception and right on the street not necessary as they weren't at max occupancy - they could have given a room further away. We couldn't sleep for the noise of traffic and people coming and going night till morning from clubbing and they were loud.

Date of Stay: March, 2009

Good location, close to theatres/comedy club. Lots of restaurants in vicinity. Great Yum Cha Restaurant on corner. 5 -10 minute walk to Bourke Street mall. We had a 2 bedroom apartment, great price but in basement area with view of sandstone wall out of windows, french doors opened onto small outside lane but high sandstone wall provided privacy and safety. 2nd bedroom small, could not open wardrobe as bed in the way. Otherwise apartment spacious and very clean. Beautiful historic building with attractive pool area, good spa, sauna, gym to relax in after walking all day.

The Somerset Gordon Place is situtated just east of Chinatown on Little Bourke Street - minutes from the Bourke Street Mall and the free City Circle tramline that takes you all over Melbourne. Somerset Gordon Place is located in a Heritage Listed Site (the property is about 100 years old) and has a central glass roofed atrium which is simply stunning. You almost cannot ask for more in these suites - fantastic layout, clean, washer / dryer and a office alcove with window overlooking Little Bourke Street in the suite I stayed in and the most ameniable and friendly staff you could wish for. There are a couple of things to note, however: 1. Breakfast not included (however there is a reasonable (and I mean very reasonable) coffee shop on site and supermarket (Woolworths) and liquor stores in walking distance; 2. Wireless internet is prohibitively expensive (* per hour or * for four hours). Take my cue and get free wireless internet at the State Library (a 6 minute walk and requiring you to simply register with them) or in the food court at Australia on Collins (a shopping mall, about a 10 minutes walk away). The Somerset Gordon Place is also on the Skyway Aiport Shuttle Bus route, which connects you through to the Airport (* return). There are deals to be had at this hotel - I stayed for AUD * per night (about CAD * per night), but booked three months in advance. If you're on business or simply want something a little more for your money, go no further than Somerset Gordon Place... and if it's booked up, the Somerset Gordon Heights is directly opposite and due to open soon.

Very nice heritage hotel, with lovely rooms, great pool area, an oasis in the middle of the city

Date of Stay: January, 2009

When I booked a delux room I did not except the little room that I got. The large air conditoner that was on the floor right next to the bed, was noisey and did not keep the room cool but we kept it on to circulate the air as none of the windows would open. The confusion over the car parking end up costing me $85 to get my car out of the car parking which we were led to believe was where we were told we could park, (for the time we stayed at the hotel which was 1 night). I have stayed prior to this at this hotel (without a car ) and had a nice room, but after this time I will not be staying again

The basement level rooms under reception were VERY noisy due to the ramp into the building. Also noise from the road. Reception were very helpful and moved us to a quiter room after 2 nights.

	Date of Stay: January, 2009
Was disappointed with the size of the room for the price we paid to stay. stayed in a studio 'apartment' very dingy, could hardly move. perhaps if it's converted to room only, no kitchen facilities it can be spacier.

	Date of Stay: December, 2008
We really enjoyed staying here. It's a fantastic building, very historic and very nicely renovated. Very friendly and helpful staff and the location could not be better. Rooms are quite small but well equipped.

	Date of Stay: July, 2008
An Oasis in the city. How wonderful to wake to the sounds of birds, look out at a tree and hear the sound the water in the pool. Have put this high on my list for city accomodation.

Very central location - right in the middle of Chinatown and the city. Has fully equipped kitchen and washing machine with dryer for people on longer stays. very quiet and peaceful. will definitely return again

	Date of Stay: November, 2008
Great accommodation, location and staff, I would recommend this to anyone who needs a to stay in the city. Everything was close by so we could walk to most places. The hotel has excellent facilities and friendly staff. I will be staying here again when in Melbourne.

	Date of Stay: October, 2008
Front room a little noisy early morning due to garbage trucks servicing nearby restaurants. This is my only complaint. I would suggest better seals or glazing on windows.

	Date of Stay: October, 2008
