The room itself was good. Plenty of room in the 2 bedroom apartment. It was a cold night and even with the heaters on 30 degrees it barely did anything to heat the lounge room. And parking was a nightmare! Too many cars and not enough spaces. And so cramped that to drive in and out of the car park I literally had millimetres between my car and the two parked either side.

Shower drain was blocked and quickly flooded. Overall apartment smelt of cigarette smoke and needs a refresh of paint, comfortable couches (the current one was old and not at all comfortable to sit on. No tv in main bedroom. Tv in living space was very small. Overall cleanliness and security into the building was poor (complex front door didn’t automatically close). While price wasn’t too expensive, I would try other options next time

The place is a bit rundown & I was particularly unimpressed with the curtains as they didn’t not fully cover the windows meaning people could see in so no privacy. The receptionist didn’t seem interested.

Staff excellent and very helpful with misplaced swipe key. Apartments could do with some updating for example, dodgy power point in kitchen, no towel rails or even hooks in bathroom, only place to sit towels on closed toilet...unhygienic! Location is great, parking limited, very tight parking spaces. Only mirror in whole apartment small vanity mirror.

The property is in a great location within the beautiful suburb of East Melbourne. The property itself was old and tired. Due to the rain we received over night the apartment we stayed in leaked and had a terrible smell. It was extremely basic facilities but the sheets seemed clean which made it a bit better. It was extremely expensive for what we got.

You get what you pay for. Dirty and very old, could do with a clean and a paint. Furnishings are old, bathroom is old, nothing at all like the pictures. Impossible to park 2 cars side by side in the car park. Lucky we only stayed one night after a concert, so wasn’t there for long. Won’t be going back and would not recommend

My stay was alright but the after hour so called cleaning/manager lady is so rude and deceiving. The room we have been given was very smelly and confined. We asked her if there is another room with the park view. "All the rooms are the same and if you want to upgrade you can go to the CityEdge accross the road they may have bigger room" she said. We decided to leave the property and called the call centre to cancel our reservation. He asked us our reason and said there are two unoccupied rooms why don't you check them out. The room has park view, was way much better than the one we were given. I asked the lady why did't offer us the room when we asked her? She couldn't say anything. Anyways i don't understand her reason as well
