    Alto is a fantastic location to explore Melbourne. Close to sky bus, southern cross, marvel stadium and tram network. Felt safe walking on own or with friends. We had an apartment this time which was perfect.

    Great location on Bourke St near Southern Cross Station. Room very quiet even though we were on first floor thanks to double windows. Room was clean & comfortable with everything we needed. Kitchenette great.

    The room was looking a bit tired and in need of a refurb, especially the bathroom. It was value for money though. Also it is right across the road from the railway station.
