The apartment was spotless and the beds comfortable. We had a good view from he 32nd floor. The pool and gym were good. It is within walking distance of Spencer Street Station, Bourke Street mall and Queen Victoria markets. The only negative was the noise (music mainly) from pubs nearby that we could hear until early hours of the morning on the Friday and Saturday nights (so take earplugs).

It has a Nice city view. There was all that you needed for a comfortable stay. It would be nice if someone tops up your requirement of coffee, sugar etc at least once in two days! Clear instruction of wifi username etc would be nice. It was missing during our stay.

One A/C for a 3 bedroom apartment plus living room/kitchen was a bit under dimensioned. But this is someone's apartment and not a hotel and all in all a minor thing for a couple of days. Good location and great views from the 53:rd floor.

DO NOT stay Friday/Saturday or Sunday as there’s a ‘doof doof’ club across the street. They blew it out until 4:40am EACH OF THESE NIGHTS! This was so loud even headphones didn’t cover it. There were dirty feet marks on the wall and hair on the bathroom vanity draw.

Great heights - and not just in the view
Great CBD base in a quieter end of town, thus providing great access & great views at a great price. The space in the room & the facilities provided tipped the scales here from good to great - we would definitely stay again & would recommend to anyone for most types of stays - business, couple, friends - even family with the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom configuration

Apartment was OK and location good but more attention to cleaning would improve experience. Hairs in bathroom and pube on pillow real turn off. Had to que often for the lifts. Big building, 45 stories and 3 small lifts. Big construction job going on outside window made for early wake up, said ear plugs were supplied but not in our rooms. Stay was just OK couldnt recommend.

Response from Fotios Gillias on 2020/3/21
Dear Guest, Thanks for reviewing City Tempo after your recent stay at our property. We truly welcome all feedback, as it provides us an opportunity to identify improvement areas in order to continually deliver fantastic guest experiences. Please allow me the opportunity to sincerely apologise for our Room Servicing not being up to the high standard of cleanliness we pride ourselves on. Rest assured that these details have been communicated with our team, in order to ensure all Room Attendants are more attentive during servicing to identify issues such as these and avoid future occurrences. In relation to your comments regarding the construction noise levels, please note that we do find guests sensitivity to these sounds can vary and our team are always happy to offer alternative options when communicated during your stay. Potential solutions could include a room facing an alternate direction, which could completely remove the noise levels or at the very least reduce it. Additionally, we certainly do understand our guest’s frustrations relating to the lift wait times. This is due to one of the lifts currently requiring some essential maintenance, however please be advised that we are trying our best to have this rectified at the earliest possible opportunity. I’m delighted to read that you did enjoy the layout of the apartment as well as the location of our building and hope you took advantage of some of the surrounding attractions. Thank you once again for providing your review and we hope that we are given the opportunity to welcome you back to City Tempo during your next accommodation requirements in Melbourne. Fotios Gillias Front Office Manager

Spacious one bedroom apartment well equipped with appliances . Not serviced in the 5 nights we were there. There were spare bath towels but only one set of small toiletries. The lifts are or concern as only 2 were working. If you avoid the lifts for the morning & evening rush it wasn’t too bad. Also be prepared to be up on level 40 and above. When I booked I had no idea it was this big as you only see the facade of the city tempo building. The car parking facilities were excellent. Communication was also excellent. Would still use these apartments again.

City Tempo Lonsdale was outstanding in every—beautiful apartment, great service, great staff! Our apartment on the 25th floor was very quiet and our balcony faced the harbor—plus it is a block and a half from the airport Skybus station (and lots of restaurants and a supermarket with a liquor and wine store one block away. Can’t go wrong with this place and we would return here in a heartbeat!

Mould in silicon in bathroom. Blinds annoying to open and close and have worn paths in the ceiling. Hot chocolate was nice. Biscuits were not nice. Liked that bags were able to be held for the day on check out. Central. Fairly clean.

Ideal Apartment for your Melbourne stay
Very spacious, clean and quiet apartment. Lovely bathroom and kitchen area. Good location for walking around the city but currently next door to a building site where work starts very early. It is also located in an area where there are a few slightly unsavoury looking ‘Gentlemen’s clubs’. However, just a few minutes walk and you’re in the centre of the city.

We booked into Melbourne Short Stay Apartments Lonsdale only to be told they changed names to City Tempo when we checked in they moved us to a ‘sister’ hotel, Australis, where for 45 floors they had only two lifts working, we could wait up to fifteen minutes for a lift to stop at our floor and no point using the stairs as doors don’t open to the car park levels. And I booked a queen bed and this bed has shrunk as no way is it bigger than a double.

Great apartment in great location
We stayed four nights in a two bedroom unit as we were upgraded being Gold customers.The apartment is situated in a great location. Bed was comfortable with decent pillows. The bathroom was clean and modern with washer/dryer. Kitchen had everything we needed. No housekeeping whilst we were there however there’s a vacuum cleaner and a broom if you feel like doing housework. I didn’t! Would recommend,
