Location is fantastic. Reception staff were fantastic. The bedrooms are tiny! Can just walk around it but definitely couldn't keep suitcase in there, they had to sit out in the little lounge. Good enough to rest your head at night.

Do not stay here. We booked a four bedroom apartment and did not receive due to maintenance issues and our family of 4 was split between 2 rooms in different areas. The room we ended up with had a staircase directly near the bedroom door and I fell down this in the middle of the night and split my head open on a broken doorstop. The toilet seat was also broken as was the A/C. Room was dirty with handprints and stains on floor and walls and rotting wood and mold in the bathroom. We didn't even get a rubbish bin provided. Our other rooms they offered were no better condition and had their own safety hazards. No room had hand soap or hand towels, cutlery was unwashed. DO NOT stay here if you value your life. Other customers were overheard complaining of similar issues with their rooms not being available, lack of supplies and safety hazards. Some even had rooms with bedbugs

The room was tiny and not as advertised. The bathroom had black mould around the shower handle, the TV didn’t work, the air conditioner had a broken knob. The dishes in the cupboards were visibly dirty and I found rubbish under the sheets on the bed. Disgusting, wouldn’t recommend and will not be staying again.

Check in was fine, wasn’t informed that I would be staying in their other building. Made it to the room and the property seemed fine, then started noticing that the doors and some walls had holes in them. One of the rooms had a Lower window that little kids could open and then climb onto the aircon and fall to their death. The fridge didn’t work and there was a washer and dryer in the apartment, but wasn’t allowed to use. The beds felt like I was sleeping on boards. The price I paid I was expected more especially if they are asking for a 100 dollar damage hold..

it is a unique hotel. Basic but good. clean and comfortable. don't expect great TV and channels etc but has excellent internet. My room had patchy Air Con and other issues which they did try and fix. i was there 10 days. Tram Stop RIGHT OUT FRONT. So pretty brainless. 2 stops from Melb Central. Lots and lots of food options and coles etc to stock up for self catering. *** laundry good but you need your own washing powder!

W e had 2 rooms where 1 room was a double and the other had a double upstairs and a queen downstairs and a single. Walked into the 2nd room and we could hear a noise, went down and 2 fans on full boar trying to dry the wet carpet. We were not told that this had happened and the room downstairs stunk and this then came upstairs. We had to fit 3 of us upstairs in a double bed. We were also not told about the stairs. Disappointed in this facility and would not recommend it to any of my friends. The stairs were small and spiral, so dangerous. Overall I would rate the room as a 1 out 10 and that is being generous

We stayed two nights in two different rooms and for what we paid we were overall really happy with what we got. The first room was small but adequate, the sofa bed one of us slept on wasn’t overly pleasant but once fresh sheets were on it was fine. Second room, a king deluxe (ironically cheaper than the smaller one) was great, slight shower mould aside. Checking in and out was problematic but mainly because of the hordes in for Taylor Swift, many of whom seemed to be complaining Karens, asking to see the manager etc. From our perspective we thought it was really good value and would stay again - hopefully the Swanston St trams will be back in action by then!

Upon check-in we were asked to go to a building outside and two down. This lobby area looked under construction but left. Arriving to our room was NOTHING like the images online. The furniture was old and scratched and had marker graffiti on it. There were bugs, the bathroom was extremely small and moldy. Thankfully we were moved to another room the following day in the main building, but this was still not the best.

Check in took 45 minutes due to inattentive staff, staff deserting their post and ‘systems issues’. We had three young children very tried after travelling and a long day, it was a terrible experience. Bedding was inadequate. No blankets or doona. The units are designed and equipped for student accommodation. The location is good for Melbourne city experiences.

While you get what you pay for the property looks nothing like the pictures. For the price point it’s not bad but you’ll be in for a shock when you first see the room. Chewing gum was stuck to the wall right next to the bed and the bathroom was missing soap. I wouldn’t recommend taking the risk and will just be paying a bit more next time.

Location was good, walk to city and markets had parking you had to pay extra for. Very dated property, smell in hallways Im assuming permanant tenants cooking but was always there. Had no plugs for sinks, when we asked for them came with wrong sizes so ended up with none, toilet not secured to floor. A lot of rubbish in bins in areas, left in elevators. Very basic TV hardly pick up any channels. Luckily you dont holiday to stay in unit becuase they are small and you dont get unit advertised, unlucky for us it rained for 2 days so we spent more time than we hoped inside.
