“Melbourne Carlton Central Apartment Hotel, while located in the heart of Carlton's vibrant Italian district, seems to offer inconsistent quality. The location is a clear advantage, but reports of dated rooms and maintenance issues raise concerns. For travelers prioritizing location above all else, it's a consideration, but be aware of potential drawbacks.”
