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.

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

Suited my needs but outdated interior. The bath and coffee tables were stained and the bedroom could have done with a fan or cooling. Otherwise fine bed was comfortable very convenient for going to events at Melbourne Park or MCG also very close to public transport As someone who traveled from the country l appreciated the free car parking.

We booked this location purely because it promised on site free parking, unfortunately what they fail to mention is the “carpark” is tiny, and will be overbooked. So unfortunately we had to then attempt to find other carparks (costing money and risking fines and damage) nearby. A HUGE inconvenience when you’re travelling with children and people with disabilities. Our apartment on arrival was absolutely disgusting. It was clear it hadn’t been cleaned from the last visitors. There was urine all over the WALLS and floor in the toilets, the bedding and sheets were covered in hair and not even tucked in around the mattress. It looked and smelled atrocious. After reporting this to reception, requesting they organise someone to please come and clean the room the next day, we were assured that this would happen and a cleaner would be by shortly. We went out for the day and returned to find nothing had been cleaned. So called reception again who argued that they had sent a cleaner. Eventually they sent another one who was just as appalled as we were about the lack of hygiene in the apartment - even going as far as taking photos because he was disgusted and wanted to show management how poorly kept it was. Reception was highly unapproachable, and very abrupt and rude. I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.

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)
