About

Spencer Street Apartments

Spencer Street Apartments sits on the western edge of Melbourne's CBD, about a five-minute walk from Southern Cross Station and within easy reach of Queen Victoria Market, the Docklands, and Marvel Stadium. The property offers a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments, each with a kitchen, washing machine, and private balcony. Guests consistently praise the central yet quiet location and the helpful, accommodating staff.

The rating of 8.0 across 1,450 reviews reflects strong scores for staff (8.7), rooms (8.3), and general service (8.2). While the property lacks a formal reception (check-in is by arrangement), the team is noted for going out of their way to make stays comfortable — from providing a baby bathtub to helping with car seat installation. On-site parking and free Wi-Fi add practical value for both business and leisure travellers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals or early flights.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Not a hotel-style reception — As an apartment property, there's no traditional front desk; check-in is via arrangement, and some guests may miss the services of a full-service hotel.
  • Early check-out — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels and may feel rushed for relaxed mornings.
