My stay at City Tempo - Southbank Collection was enjoyable with a spacious and clean 1-bedroom apartment that had a comfortable bed and excellent shower. The location was ideal, just a 20-minute walk to both the CBD and South Melbourne Market. However, navigating the parking area was a bit frustrating due to the confusing numbering system, which made finding my space take longer than expected.

I had a somewhat mixed experience during my stay at City Tempo - Southbank Collection. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, making for a cozy environment. however, there were significant issues with cleanliness and the management's responsiveness that left a lot to be desired. While the location was convenient for attending events at Crown Towers, it felt a bit isolated from the city center.

The two-bedroom apartment was roomy. though it was not cleaned properly upon arrival, with coffee rings on the surfaces. The shower also had poor water pressure.

I had a mixed experience at City Tempo - Southbank Collection. The location was great, providing easy access to nearby attractions and a stunning view from my room. However, I encountered some issues with customer service and cleanliness that left me disappointed. Overall, while the apartment had a lot of potential, I feel it could benefit from improvements in management and attention to detail.

Rooms

8.0

The apartment was spacious, clean, and bright, with an absolutely magnificent view, especially from the higher floors. It felt modern and well-equipped with upscale facilities like a Miele kitchen and laundry options. However, I did find the decor and furnishings a bit underwhelming compared to what I expected from the photos.

Service

5.0

Service was a bit of a letdown. While the initial check-in process was smooth and staff were friendly, the ongoing support, especially in terms of customer queries, felt lacking. I felt more could be done to ensure guests' belongings are handled with care, especially after my unfortunate experience with lost items.

Location

The Southbank area is fantastic! It’s within walking distance to a lot of shops and attractions, making it super convenient for a short city break. I did notice a construction site nearby, which slightly detracted from the overall experience but didn't ruin my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the City Tempo - Southbank Collection. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the city and nearby cafes. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a washing machine. However, there were a few inconveniences, like the key pickup process and the limited view despite paying for a higher floor.

Rooms

8.0

The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The two bathrooms were a major plus. However, I found the living area to be a bit small due to the apartment's shape and the lack of a window in the second bedroom was disappointing.

Service

7.0

The service was courteous and helpful, but I felt the staff could be more up-to-date on local information. While they assisted me in locating parking and getting to my room, the key collection process was a bit of a hassle.

Location

9.0

The location was excellent, as I was close to the CBD and within a 10 to 15-minute walk to many attractions. It was also convenient to have a Woolworths supermarket next door. Despite some initial impressions of a poor location, it turned out to be perfect for my needs while in Melbourne.

Dining

While there were plenty of dining options nearby, I found breakfast in the mornings to be a bit of a challenge. Nevertheless, being close to restaurants made it easy to explore local food.

Facilities

The apartment had a washing machine and dryer, which I appreciated. The heated pool was a nice touch, even in the winter, though I wished there was a more direct path to it.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The apartment was beautiful with a great view, but the check-in process was frustrating and really soured my first impression. The location was convenient, close to Crown Casino and the CBD. Overall, it could be a great stay with some service improvements.

Rooms

The apartment was super spacious and comfortable for four adults. I loved the view, and the beds were really large and comfy. However, some furniture could do with a bit of an update.

Service

5.0

The check-in experience was the worst part. I spent over half an hour waiting at reception for my keys, which were just sitting there. The staff weren't very friendly during the process, which was quite disappointing.

Location

The location was great! It was close to the river bank and just a short walk to the Crown area and CBD. I even took a quick Uber to the city for only $9.

Dining

Dining options were convenient with places to eat and drink nearby. I did not explore a lot, but there were good options along the riverside and grocery shops right next door.

Facilities

I saw the gym and pool and they both looked good. The kitchen was well-equipped, and having a laundry facility in the apartment was a big plus.
