Lumina Suites

Excellent rental apartment for a short term stay in Melbourne. Location is very central and within walking distance to all major sights and the free tram route. Apartment was well-equipped with everything you could need. Myself and my partner booked a one bedroom apartment but upon check in were upgraded to a duplex suite, which has two floors - bedrooms downstairs in two rooms, one with double bed and one with two single beds. Lots of storage space (wardrobes, bedsides), and a desk in the single beds room. Plenty of plug sockets. Extra bedding provided in case cold. Bathroom was downstairs with great shower and also had a washer/dryer (need own washing powder), and clothes horse. Basic hotel toiletries/towels provided. Upstairs was open plan living space with a balcony. There was a dishwasher, TV, kitchen was well stocked for cooking, fridge and freezer. Heating was with heat pump/air conditioner unit. Everything in the room was clean and felt/looked new, modern and stylish. We were met upon check in by David who was pleasant and handed over keys and gave directions to our room. On site pool and gym were also available to use, open from 6am - 10pm I think. Didn't use the gym but looked quite small but well equipped with all the usual. Gym was always full/busy with residents. Myself and my partner both used the pool daily for swimming laps, bright, open and nice temperature, there are changing rooms, showers and lockers at the poolside. Pool was always quiet unlike the gym. Pool looks like in the photos. The apartments are in a residental building/village, so there are people living there but didn't make any difference to us. Balcony overlooked city skyscrapers and towards Docklands area. Small Asian supermarket next door on the ground floor. 2GB of WiFi is provided, no trouble using that, but if you have your own SIM data you can use that, I could access 4G from the apartment. Fast and big elevators to the floors. Would stay again!

We arrived at 12pm and they let us check in for free. After checking out, they let us store our bags until we were ready to go to the airport. The same lady checked us in and out, and she was professional and friendly throughout. The view outside our room was nice as we could see the CBD. Due to the location, facilities, and amenities provided, this hotel is absolutely top value.

I love the frontline staff. They are so attentive and helpful. The staff are an asset to Lumina Suite. Location is fantastic. Checking in/out was a breeze. Very simple and fast.

Apartments were clean, neat and tidy there is ample room to move and find your comfort zone. The other guests in the hotel were friendly, kept to themselves no noise complaints or loud behaviors. The concierge staff were exceptional they really do cater to the individual needs of the guest I personally had a lovely encounter with the young lady at the front desk this morning, she assisted me with my luggage as I was overdue to checkout all the while making polite conversation it made for what would have been usually a super stressful part of the stay a smooth and simple transition leaving the hotel a happy and satisfied guest.

The room was well situated for the location and felt quite safe to go to and from. The room was very quiet and well slept so well. Having the washer and drier in the room was good..
