The room felt very old, it was dirty/ mouldy in a number of places including bathroom and kitchen. The beds were very well used and were not comfortable. The last night we stayed there was domestic violence in the apartment next to ours which caused a number of disturbances and had the police attending on 2 occasions.

Would never recommend. Room smelt musty, foyer smelt like curry, pillows had no pillow protectors, and there were stains on them, wall paper falling off, no hot water in kitchen, filthy cups and cutlery, a marshmallow sitting under the couch, dirty inside drawers, wall in toilet had brown drips, curtains were caked in dust, bathroom had soap scum resin everywhere, honestly wanted to drive home. Location is the only positive.

For the price of one night in Melbourne, we were very pleased as the apartment had everything you need: kitchen, private bathroom, good wifi and even a dishwasher. So even the room was very dated (cracks on the wall), we still felt ok. Only one thing that turned us down was the cleanliness of the room. We saw a pair of shorts under the bed, and the kitchen bench had some stain marks. Hope the management improve the quality of this place.

Unfortunately many things didn’t go well. We arrived and squeezed in to a park that I could barely get out of the car and was told we’d been upgraded. We had to drive a block away to the upgraded room. Inside was filthy walls, filthy blinds, filthy heater, no air conditioner (room I booked did), one roll of toilet paper, bathroom drawer filled with hair- the worst condition I’d ever seen a room. It was like we were being pranked as they couldn’t possibly call that an upgrade! I called reception and she said to come back and she’ll give the room I booked. Walked back down 2 flights of stairs with a sore leg (wasn’t told there’s no lift), packed car back up and drove back. I tried to inform reception of the condition but she appeared disinterested and just wanted to give the booked room without hearing what was actually wrong with the other room. I thought they may want feedback if they’re not familiar with all the rooms. The booked room was a lot better and more comfortable, however the kettle had dried pasta in it which went in our tea, the bedside table had a tea bag stuck to it, the bathroom tap didn’t turn off, the double bed was filled with hair and the sheets appeared dirty and not changed. It was a really disappointing and unpleasant stay unfortunately.

Fantastic location and good heating but lots of improvements needed. The kitchen sink wasn't draining properly, cracks/holes in cement sheeting walls, bath was dirty, only 10 sheets of toilet paper were supplied, lamps were supplied in bedroom with no powerpoints! The stairwell had an awful smell. Linen was clean but Queen bed is two singles pushed together. Insufficient cooking and eating utensils in cupboards and only one bowl for breakfast cereal.

This hotel and building is in need of serious work. I stay in Melbourne CBD (this one is in east melbourne) 5-10 times a year and this is up there with the worst. It's an old building, which is fine, but the place smells very musty. The main bed is actually 2 single bed bases and 2 mattresses pushed together, but the bases sit at different heights, so there is a big ridge in the middle of the bed. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable. The bed is also on wheels and moves too easily. Just laying down on it the whole bed base moves. The bed moved throughout the night and the pillows go down a gap between the wall and bed (no bed head - just wall). There are portable heaters/coolers on the floor, with extension cords running across the ground. The free parking is terrific, especially in inner Melbourne, but there is a homeless person sleeping in the car park, right next to the building and based on their set up, I would guess they are there every night. Noise can be heard from the apartments around and above, and there were a couple of apartments making a lot of noise well past midnight. The kitchen has been remodeled as is the best part of the apartment, although they left the old splashback tiles. This place might be ok if it was a really good value for money option, but it isn't. Whilst its cheaper than a hotel in the CBD, you don't save enough to put up with the standard of this apartment.

The room was unlivable and unsleepable for the family. While the bathroom was clean enough, the living area was dirty. The carpet and kitchen was slightly bit sticky when we walked on the surface,and as a family we felt unsafe because there were multiple windows exposed to the ground floor with no clear security features. For the price, i didn't expect it to be 5 star but we left because we couldn't stay the night. The nicely presented pictures of the hotel online did not match our experience. I sent a message to the hotel management and Expedia but neither responded to me.

Photos on the booking site are definitely not what greets you when you arrive. First room we had was filthy. Went to make a coffee and the cups were used and put back dirty, lip stick included. Utensils were used and put back in the drawer covered in grease and food. Complained to staff and got to choose a different room. Slightly cleaner but still not what is advertised. Staff were understanding and accomodated as best they could. Pictures on website need to be replaced with accurate ones
