Great location - nice views

Location was excellent for our week at the Melbourne Convention Centre. The hotel room itself was pretty disappointing. The carpet was soiled and had cigarette burns, in the bathroom doors were falling off the cabinets and the air conditioning could not be adjusted. The TV in the main bedroom did not work. Ok for business as we were out most of the time, beds were surprisingly good and the towels were changed daily so some good things to report.

Comfortable but a little rundown with poor service

Had a toilet that was running and dripping in the cistern the entire 5 night stay despite repeated requests to reception. General condition of the place was a little rundown and no housekeeping the entire stay. On the positive, my apartment had a full kitchen, very large living area for the price and the location was great for the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

first room they gave me wasn't cleaned before i arrived. had to call up reception and they moved me to another room not the best start but the new room was on the third floor and a sign on the elevator told me that it only went to the second and from there i had to go up the fire escape and and get to my room that way. the room was large and spacious but carpets had stains one of the window blinds was missing and the walls had several hole that where they have been haphazardly patch over. ultimately a massive disappointment

Location is very good, being close to train stations, shopping and dining options. Very noisy on Saturday night through to Sunday morning due to patrons of various local entertainment venues flowing on to the street and shouting etc. Somewhat noisy on other nights due to proximity of a loading dock opposite the apartment building. Very clean. Note reception has limited hours of operation.

Disappointed

Disappointing- apartment badly in need of an update and nothing like the leading photos. As soon as you open the door there was a steep set of about 20 stairs. The lounges were old and uncomfortable. To get to garage was not easy had to go outside, around the corner and put a key in a lock on the wall. Not able to be done from car. Elevator did not connect to apartment at all.

The Penthouse - Disappointment

We booked the 3 Bedroom Penthouse - Riverside Tower expecting to see river views as described. To our disappointment there were certainly no views as per the photos advertised. The outdoor area was certainly nothing beautiful. Every planter pot was a mass of weeds and the area was very unattractive. The BBQ was a disgrace with rusty hot plate. The bathrooms were beautiful, obviously recently renovated and the beds were very comfortable. Lounge and shag pile rug not very attractive. Generally, in need of further renovation to call this ‘The Penthouse’.

Good location but awful maintenance and service

No one can argue that the apartments are not well located. The price paid represents good value for that location so some '3 star' standard of accommodaion is expected. Nevertheless the standard of maintenance of the apartment showed a gross lack of attention. It wasn't as if the issues were recent or unforseen, the problems seemed long standing and should have been rectified under normal maintenance. In detail: door lock to balcony broken, mould in bathroom, leaking fridge, loose powerpoint, no tv remote in the bedroom and no heating apart from a column oil heater with broken legs that fell over easily (and had done often in the past judging by scorch marks on the carpet). Attempts to fix the aircon system failed and small fan heater was eventually provided on the last day of the stay. Attempts to contact reception during the advertised 11 to 7 timeframe proved difficult and the person who answered the phone option was unable or perhaps unwilling to provide the name or number for the manager. Overall this place could represent some of the best value accommodation in Melbourne but it needs to have a serious maintenance audit and remedy.
