Hard and uncomfortable mattress with deep ruts made sleeping difficult. Also very old air conditioner in the room did not cool but blew air from outside, which was quite uncomfortable during hot weather.

We booked this apartment through Expedia and by carefully looking at the pictures to make sure it suited our needs. When we arrived we got greeted by the owner who were lovely however the property was run down and needs maintenance to match their listing and what they charge. Our apartment was not what it was listed, it was dirty, smelly and damp. The couch was broken and unsafe to sit on and very very dirty. It was old style where as the listing showed two leather couches and this was just the single cloth broken couch. There was no oven in the kitchen as the listing showed they had oven. Also the room was smaller from the listing and very different. The listed apartment had ranch slider too but this apartment room didn’t had any. When we informed the owner they said it’s the same room and that the oven was faulty so they removed it completely. They did give us a small benchtop oven. The fridge in the room was not working properly and was switched off when we checked in. First they said don’t worry it will be fine freezer is working so we complained to Expedia and Expedia didn’t help at all apart from talking to the owner who didn’t wanna help or refund after we found the place dirty, damp and smelly. On top of the broken couch so Expedia said they can’t do much and simply stay there. We went back to the owners after 1.5hours to complain about the fridge so they gave us a small bar fridge to use in return. Don’t recommend this as we have infants too.

The apartments are old, shabby, dirty and smelt stale and mouldy. All the carpets need to be replaced and burnt. Strongly recommend that if you are using any of the kitchen utensils or equipment, wash thoroughly first.

Not really sure why people are rating this with 8's and 9's as it's simply not the case. It is however a very cheap "serviced" apartment in Brunswick so you have to remember you get what you pay for. Staff were nice but the building and room was dated, tired and smelly. Air Con looked like it survived ww2, very noisy and not particularly effective. There is a door around the side of the building which is chocked open day and night allowing absolutely all of Brunswicks riff raff to come and go as they please. This leads to security concerns, noisy and messy hallways, randos knocking on your door, drug problems etc. If you want cheap look no further but if you've got options I think you can do better. Rated 3 overall because of the price but it's probably more of a 2. Wouldn't stay again.

It was ok but the property overall needs a refurbishment. Quite cheap so we don’t expect 5 star but 3 star is a push. Our hotel was cancelled so needed something last minute and we found this. Cooking facilities aren’t great and an old air con unit. It was ok and as expected for the price

What shall I say about Parkville?? I chose it because the location was near my friends house. It was as clean as they could get it... considering that the building hasn't been updated since the '60’s. Everything needs paint. The front desk staff was friendly and when we asked for towels, etc they were accommodating. The front door is key card access only after 8pm. The kitchen was minimally equipped.. but if we had wanted something else... they probably would have provided it. Overall ok... just don't expect anything fancy.

Comfortably made the top 3 worst places I have ever stayed, primarily due to the overwhelming and constant stench of cigarette smoke. Absolutely no way this constituted a 3* hotel. Had to have the door open constantly in order to breathe, but felt unsafe even on 1st floor due to the area immediately surrounding the hotel. The reception staff were friendly and the proximity to Brunswick is good, linen was clean but very much let down by the smoke and general tired and grubbiness of the hard surfaces and carpet.
