Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff were lovely and check in was super easy. Location was fantastic. Apartment was roomy and comfortable but getting a little tired. Shower was hot and good water pressure. There was dust on the dining chairs and the shower grout while clean was definitely showing its age but this wasn’t a big deal. I would definitely stay there again next time I’m in Melbourne

Good location!

A great place with plenty of room, clean and nice linens! The staff were lovely, and met our needs when required. A bigger smart tv could be a needed update, and the curtains could be improved on. But convenient location, and everything you need.

Terrible Apartment

Hot water system wasn't constant. Either extremy hot water in shower or very cold, despite trying to adjust tap. AC did not work was given heater on the last night. Reception does not answer any of your calls. Never stay there again ...

The digital key system did not work, the reception desk closes between 11 and 2, on the day of check in several others booked in along with myself were left waiting for an hour until someone turned up to do check in. Several of those guests waiting called the contact number and we were told to have patience and someone was on way. The person that turned up apologised as management did not roster someone for that afternoon. The common areas were dirty, the room was dirty, crumbs throughout the kitchen cupboards, shower was mouldy and smelt poorly. Overall a poor experience and won’t be staying again.

Two night Melbourne stay

I be lived my two night stay at Urban apartments. It was my first stay there. I have stayed at many places in the city. This was a two night stay. Reception is not available between 11-2 so make sure to check in when they are there. I had to store my bag at a ezymart around the corner . However in checkout the next morning they were happy to keep my bag. It was lovely to have a small pound and separate bedroom space with two tvs. Small kitchen and dining table and utensils for cooking. Comfortable bed. My room faced Elizabeth st and had a great view. Not noisy with the windows closed. The bathroom was completely function, however struggled to get the water an even temp. Tiling in bathroom could do with an upgrade. Room was very clean except for lots of dust behind furniture so maybe the room needs a deeper clean every now and again. Very convenient location right in the center of the city. Would definitely stay again.
