About
Nolo Apartments Lonsdale St
Nolo Apartments Lonsdale St is a 4-star apartment-hotel in the heart of Melbourne, located just 150 metres from the heritage-listed Carlton Gardens. It's a 0.8 km stroll to St Patrick's Cathedral, and close to Parliament train and tram stations, which makes the rest of the city easy to reach on foot or by public transport.
The apartments range from studios to three-bedroom layouts, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and either a balcony or city views. Most come with full kitchen facilities — including a washing machine, dryer, and cookware — so you can settle in and live like a local, while the on-site fitness centre and 24-hour reception keep things convenient.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities rating below par — The Facilities score sits noticeably lower than other categories, suggesting the building's shared amenities (like the lift and fitness centre) may feel dated or under-maintained.
- Possible lift delays — At least one guest reported that only one lift was operational for the entire building, leading to waits of 20 minutes or more — a real hassle with luggage or children.
- Minor street noise — Some rooms facing the street pick up traffic sounds, though guests note the apartments remain clean and quiet enough despite it.

8.1Verified guest“Fantastic location surrounded by great eateries and close to public transport. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The studio had lovely city views but lacked some kitchen supplies, making meal prep a bit tricky. A decent spot but room for improvement.”
