Lovely Sky apartment, no waiting for lifts. Supermarkets close by, eateries close by. Walking distance to Metro central, Trams close. We rode the free tram 35 to do the rounds on the loop and got on and off when we wanted to see something. Really enjoyed our stay at Image Lighthouse and Melbourne

Staff were not pleasant, gym was out of order the whole stay (yet not acknowledged at check-in), bathroom and shower need a good clean, did not look how the photos represented it to look, seems to be predominantly used as apartments as opposed to a hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Very average. First room they placed me in had no working AC and dodgy yellow stains on the carpet. Alternative room was much nicer. Room mostly quiet aside from loadly banging spring doors closing at all hours. Wasn't notified that the fitness centre was unavailable at time of booking, and this along with the sauna was a key booking decision for me. Not really impressed.

People in the room next door playing music loudly 3 nights in a row between midnight-6am, made it hard to stay asleep, but that’s not the accommodation’s fault. Someone came by on the third night and told them to turn it down, which they did. Other than that, incredible stay. View was beyond amazing from the 69th floor. Definitely would love to stay again sometime, and will recommend it to others.

Poor design of cupboards
Lots of cupboards – but no accessible shelves in most storage space. We ended up with clothes scattered across the floor. A number of potentially useful spaces were too high for the average guest; and the microwave (located well above the sink) was potentially very dangerous
Wardrobe
Shelves above bench 1  (note microwave)
Shelves above bench  2
Stretching to reach microwave contents

The unit was good apart from the lack of storage in the bedroom. There were no drawers or shelves to place items of clothing in which meant that our suitcases had to store our clothing opened on the lounge room floor. Thankfully we were only staying for three nights as this was not annoying.

Amazing hotel with amazing staff
Stay was amazing! I stayed in a sky apartment on floor 68, and the views were absolutely stunning. The staff at reception were extremely kind, and answered all of my questions. They gave me great recommendations on what to see, what to do, where to eat. My only qualm about staying so high up is the elevator takes a while, but that is to be expected when staying right at the top.

At check in we were told to wait as our room wasn’t ready yet. The man at the desk said he’d call us back over when the room was ready but we waited an hour and a half and heard nothing from him after he watched us just sit there in the lobby. Once I went to the desk and asked for an update I find out that the room had been ready for the whole time and he just never called us over or updated us like he said he would. The room had blood stains on the couch and curtains which I cleaned off myself. The floor we were placed on smelt really bad and it continued to smell the whole time. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The spa and pool were perfect and we enjoyed the view from our room.

The property was good quite spacious and comforting. The only two things are there was quite a few stains on our bedroom carpet one large one. And there was not enough utensils to cook food with, so we had to buy some and take it back with us. The location is perfect though and walking distance to lots of shopping and public transport. At first when you arrive it's confusing as it's also apartment living, but you have no way to get in, you have to be let in by someone.
