The property is super convenient. Close to all kinds of food, and the Queen Victoria Market. This is a bonus. Very conveniently located along Elizabeth Street. Very safe. Apartment is decent with the full suite of amenities like cooker, microwave oven, washer and dryer. Good for longer stay. The only problem was the wifi. It so super slow and at times no network at all. Thus if you are thinking of working from the apartment, best to have your own internet instead of depending on the apartment,'s wifi. Otherwise, a good place to stay.

Good Room Bad Elevators
The room is spacious enough, you are sharing one bathroom but the kitchen and living area is nice and comfortable. Our major problem was that out of the 4 elevators in the 69 story building, only 1 was working. This meant regularly waiting 10+ minutes for an elevator ride.

We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom sky apartment and the views were spectacular over the city and you could see the ocean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Central to everything and only walking distance to so much. What did let them down was two elevator's out of four were out of action. Made it very hard to get up and down with a up to half hour waiting time. This sounds like from other reviews I’ve seen is a common problem. Overall I would definitely stay here again and will.

There are only 2 out of 4 working lifts for the property meaning the wait times to get up and down for the floor can be very long (on average in peak times maybe 20 mins) The property is in a good location and the staff were helpful however the unit could do with a good clean, the air conditioner was caked with dust and there were no oven trays so people had been using the oven and it had other peoples burnt food. Our fridge wasn’t working but as soon as we let the staff know they swapped it out that day which was appreciated.

We had an issue with heating and our issue was immediately addressed. The staff lady, sorry didnt get her name gave us extra blanket for the night. The next morning the service guy came in early to check. AJ is a good 👦. He knows exactly what was wrong. Someone switched off the mains that's why the heater is not working. Very happy with their service, accommodation and friendliness of the staffs.

Imagine Lighthouse overall is a very good property. Only problem is the elevators. It's a 69 floor building and only 2 out of 4 elevators are working. The wait to get on the elevator can be up to 20 minutes depending on time of day.

Close to Queen Victoria Markets and good for exploring Melbourne. I would stay again. There were times when the lifts took a while. The day we arrived there was a queue for the lift in the lobby that was probably 50 people long at around 430/5pm (we were going out so I don’t know how long it took to clear).

The apartment was lovely and quiet for being in the center of the city. I would have loved to pay for an upgrade to a higher floor although unfortunately I was not able to. Great location if you are visiting Melbourne for either business or leisure.
