About
Punthill Apartment Hotel - Little Bourke
Punthill Apartment Hotel – Little Bourke sits on Cohen Place, a quiet lane on the edge of Melbourne's Chinatown. The 4-star property has 62 apartments, most with a kitchen, washing machine and a separate sitting area – the kind of space that suits a longer stay or a working trip.
The public areas are modest but functional: an indoor pool, a small fitness studio and a guest laundry. Check-in runs from 2pm to 8pm, which suits most arrivals, but late arrivals will need to plan ahead. The hotel allows pets, which is rare for a central Melbourne aparthotel.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in only between 2pm and 8pm — The hotel does not offer 24-hour reception, so plan your arrival. Late check-in may not be possible.
- Facilities and comfort score low — Guest reviews of the facilities (pool, gym) and overall comfort are noticeably lower than other categories, suggesting dated or minimal public areas.
- Some rooms show their age — While many guests liked the space, some mentioned lighting that could be brighter and apartments not fully updated.
- No on-site restaurant — The hotel has no dining facility (Dining rating 7.2 and no restaurant listed), so plan to eat out or cook in your apartment.
