Easy to find. Easy check in process. Free parking although the parking for larger vehicles would be difficult. Excellent location. Convenient shopping options. Very close to the MCG (which is why we stayed in East Melbourne) and close to the CBD. The room, clean and tidy although there is a lot of ageing in the building itself and some of the room needs attention. Overall a good, safe place to stay.

Sparsely furnished, difficult to park, queen bed was two single mattresses on a queen base. Couch had been drawn on. Check in overtly elaborate in needing to attend a different hotel to get the key first. Breakfast advertised not available

The apartment was fairly old and quite basic . Bed was fine. The Carpet (floor carpet tiles) were not in good condition. Insufficient coffee, tea and sugar —— unless for only one night stay. However the apartment was located in excellent position for our needs.. Hosts were kind and friendly.

Is a little dated but quite serviceable. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The folding shower screen seems to swing inwards though and needed something jammed under it to stay in the closed position so it didn't touch my back while showering

Overall everything was fine but a couple of things need attention. The toaster wouldn't stay down, there was no tea towel in the kitchen and the hot water ran out really quickly.

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. The room was dirty, the heater didn’t work, the TV remote had no batteries, and many things were broken. It was also very noisy. On top of that, the receptionist was rude, unhelpful, and showed no interest in resolving my concerns. Overall, the place was poorly maintained, and I would not recommend it.

Location and cost were very good. Quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to shops in Richmond, the MCG and public transport. Apartment was a good size and bed comfortable. Negatives were the very dated and uncomfortable couch, dirty window ledge in the bathroom (covered in loose dirt) limited toiletries. Overall I would stay again as the location is great.
