This is one of my Go-To places to stay in Melbourne if I’m in a budget. Great value for money - rooms are older but always spotless and clean. Soap, Shampoo & Conditioner supplied plus Milk & Tea/Coffee/Sugar. North Richmond Train Station a short 10 min walk and 109 & 12 trams stop a block away (get off at Wellington Parade)

The place is dirty, no spare bedding to put on if it was cold, no tea towels or sink plugs so who knows how clean the dishes are. location is excellent and parking great but even if they did some small basics like cleaning the rooms probably and providing a plug and tea towel it would such a better experience.

An absolute disgrace. I have no words! The photos on wotif and the property’s website and nothing like it…..completely different. Our lounge room had a stained dirty single bed mattress lying in it. And some cleaning products and a dirty rag that the cleaners left. The cleaners must have left early because it was filthy.

great place to stay for the (discounted) price. kitchen is equipped with the bare essentials but dishwasher is a big plus. water pressure is a bit extreme but the water gets hot fast. bedsheets were clean although pillows were not all covered and were stained underneath (not a big deal as pillowcases were clean). beds were comfortable and long enough for a fairly tall person. our toilet door did not fully close but the bathroom door did. the structure of the apartment is a little odd in that you have to go through the second bedroom to get to the bathroom which could cause disturbance at night if you are a light sleeper. all in all it was great for our needs as a group of young friends on holiday, would definitely stay again!

Honestly cannot believe the couches. To the owners / managers please buy some couches that are comfortable. It feels no better than a park bench. Last time I said never again and stupidly fell for the cheap price. They are cheap but be prepared for the incredibly nasty and dirty side. Don’t consider cooking there unless you bring your own frypan Not responding to my messages on the Expedia platform meant I couldn’t cancel without losing my money.
