Reviews of Nesuto Docklands
Lene Jørgensen
A clean and lovely hotel apartment. Quiet, but still close to the city. A beautiful view of Melbourne Sky Line. Spacious rooms. Situated within Free Tram Zone, so you can use 3 tram lines to get into the city within 5-10 min. Including the histotic Tram 35. Nearby shopping center (20meters away) provides both a supermarket and several restaurants.

Nice hotel located on a very convenient place! You got a selection of shops in front, another mall directly on the same building complex as the hotel (woolies, chemist warehouse, etc) and walking distance to a tram stop! Staffs were friendly and great. It's nice walking around Docklands with the water nearby, and delicious restaurants so close by!
