Guest Reviews
- Gordana (9/5): - coffee machine leaked when it was turned off and the couch not very comfy
- Graham (8/5): - Obtaining key difficult. Code did not work. Given new code by email and it was ok then. Location, spacious and very functional. Could do with 1 UK news channel as standard.
- Julia (9/5): Great location, clean, well provisioned apartment - Location was perfect. Everything you need within each reach, including shops, restaurants/cafes and public transport. No privacy in the kitchen/living area with window looking straight into other apartments and no block out blinds/curtains.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): great stay! thank you -
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Tara (9/5): - The place was beautiful. Tram right outside and coles downstairs.
Was slightly away from bridge road so wasn't loud at all.
The beds were comfy and plenty of utensils for cooking.
Aircon in both the bedroom and lounge made a huge difference.
Will definitely be rebooking when we visit next time. The couch in the lounge area was slightly uncomfortable.
- Beerd (9/5): Nice place to stay for professionals - Location and tidiness Waiting 35 mins for to check in. the key box didn't open. Same happened last time
- Neil (8/5): Ideal place to stay if you want to visit Melbourne. Ticks all the boxes. - The location for us was excellent for our requirements. The property was a bit dark. Although there were blinds in the living area they were not very opaque and people could see in at night if the lights were on. More towels would have been helpful and a lamp in the lounge would be good.
- Sally (8/5): - Position to the Hospital and all facilities in shopping centre below. Didn't like that the screens in the lounge were not for privacy only ones in the bedroom. Sofa was uncomfortable .
- Rendle (10/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Maddison (10/5): -
- Kaiden (10/5): -
- Jacquie (8/5): Nice apartment with lots of amenities! - The property was very spacious for four adults and was supplied with everything we needed. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and the location in Richmond was perfect for us. Coles was very handy as well as the location of the tram and neighbouring restaurants. The apartment was clean and very comfortable! Checking in was very stressful. The key access box was not working and it took three hours from the time we arrived at the property until we were able to get a key. The staff were trying to assist but communications were very slow. The issue with the key access box was addressed with Urban Rest.
- Robert (9/5): Excellent property - Very clean and great facilities . Close to supermarket
- Oliver (10/5): Great location for shops, bars and restaurants. - Location and functionality of the apartment. Great view of the city for NYE fireworks. NA
- Catherine (10/5): Fantastic stay in a great location. - Really clean, nice and spacious, lovely facilities and great location
- Greg (8/5): Great apartment , great location...just get the check in right and get hangers - presentation and facilities were excellent. Location is great. no coathangers in any wardrobe was disappointing. Access to keys was difficult we had to phone the call centre to access the box and many residents advised that that was an on going issue.
- Dianne (9/5): - Good location and facilities Could have had a few more kitchen items like serving bowls
- Greg (10/5): Pleasant relaxing and public transport amazing bacially at front door having Cole’s downstairs was so convenient as we h - Location would be number one with the security.. it was clean and plenty of room for both our families having two apartments close to one another was great too Sink tap needs attention kept falling off,, no baking dish or trays in oven .. and some smaller containers would be nice too..
- Hilva Alexandra (Alex) (10/5): Fantastic place in Richmond - Everything was great. The space, the location, the parking. Nothing
- Sarah (2/5): Extremely disappointing - Convenient location especially with Richmond Traders underneath the building with a Coles, cafes, Priceline, grocer etc. In door pool was nice. It was very difficult to find the entrance to the building. The key safe code did not work and it took a long time to reach someone to have this rectified. When I finally got to the apartment I discovered it had not been cleaned and was filthy. One of the toilets was filled with faeces. There was rubbish and crumbs everywhere, personal items from previous guests left behind etc. I was initially told that there were no other rooms available which was extremely stressful. They eventually advised they had organised a new room, however the key safe code did not work again and took a long time to resolve. I reached the new room about 3 hours after arriving. The new room was much better although the air conditioning vent was also very loud making it difficult to sleep, a toilet seat was broken (which was never attended to during my stay) and there was no tea of coffee pods provided. The laundry detergent sheet box was also empty. It took 4 days to have the tea coffee and detergent restocked. I requested one night's refund for the inconvenience and stress caused which was declined. A small refund was provided which I did not feel sufficiently compensated for the severity of the situation.

- Rendle (9/5): -
- Anne (10/5): Great stay in Richmond for our second visit. - Great location and air conditioning a big plus this time of year! Nothing
- Gigi (9/5): Great quiet and comfortable place to stay with plenty of room. Amazing gym and pool too! - The beds were so comfortable, the location was convenient and quiet. Great having a full Coles below and good food options near by. Free parking a bonus too. Key pick up was tricky being remote and my code didn’t work the first time so I needed to call for help.
- Anneshka (10/5): - Nice apartment. Close to shopping and Epworth hospital. The use of swimming pool, gym and residents lounge were much appreciated..the fact that you used washing soap sheets in laundry. Being from country the grey coloring was a bit mundane. But the place suited us well.
- Latoya (10/5): -
- T.Kona (7/5): - Location was great , apartment set up was great . The apartment was not cleaned very well at all .
Bedding was dirty, broken shelve in shower and was just left on the shower floor . Balcony had spilt drinks all over the floor and was not cleaned . Was sticky , dusty etc .
- Chen (9/5): - המתקנים נהדרים, חדשים וברמה גבוהה.
מיקום בסהכ בסדר עם טראם אפשר להגיע לכל מקום.
היה נהדר
- Melissa (8/5): A couple of negatives, but overall great. - Great location, close to public transport and heaps of cafes. Coles right next door. Very comfortable bed, big wardrobe with lots of hangers (a rarity 😄). The kitchen has everything you need, including Nespresso machine, dishwasher and large fridge. I like the fact there are plenty of plates, cups etc., so you don't have to wash up every time you use the crockery. Quality, environmentally conscious toiletries and cleaning products. Washing machine/dryer combo is very convenient. Large TV, good wifi. CHECK-IN. This was a nightmare. It's an electronic key safe. Took over an hour to establish that no-one had actually put our keys in the safe. The sweet lady at the help desk was apologetic but the phone was dropping out and although the helpline is shown as Sydney, I suspect it's offshore, which makes communication difficult. While we were waiting, a resident told us he sees people having problems all the time so clearly an issue that needs urgent addressing. The other major negative is the lack of blackout blinds in the living area. The single see-through blind means you need to close the bedroom door so as to block out the light and be able to sleep.
- Stephen (9/5): Location and apartment were both amazing - Great location, having a supermarket downstairs was amazing. Full kitchen and laundry helped and a full kitchen meant we could cook all our meals.
Facilities within the building were amazing as well, the pool was great, and the common rooms were comfortable and clean. Bit of a walk to the pool, but otherwise fantastic
- Janice (8/5): - N A I couldn’t find the accommodation entrance for a while - it was down a lane way which didn’t show on Google Maps. A mud map would have been helpful. Also no where close for short term car parking to drop off suitcases etc
- Lisa Jay (9/5): Fantastic location and well equipped property - The location is terrific. Coles is downstairs plus a deli and other stores so you can self cater if you like. The gym is well equipped and the pool is indoor so usable in any weather.
I really appreciated access to a yoga mat in my room. While I wasn't able to join the free yoga classes they're a lovely option. The building has a real community feel.
Offstreet parking was handy. We got use out of the washer and drier.
- Danielle (10/5): Loved it, highly recommend! - The apartment is spacious, well furnished and has everything you could possibly need! The facilities of the complex are next level, we were so impressed! Picking up and dropping off the key was frustrating as the digital solution didn't work
- Kelly (10/5): - Loved staying at the Richmond apartments!
It really felt like a home away from home, with all the amazing ammenities needed to make holidaying easy.
Definitely will be booking again when we are back in Melbourne. N/A
- Michèle (10/5): -
- Brett (10/5): If you want a fresh, modern and comfortable stay, then Urban Rest Richmond will tick those boxes - Clean, modern, well located and secure. All minor issues. The drains in the main shower were either blocked or were very slow to drain. We cleaned out the ensuite shower drain ourselves to stop water from flowing into the rest of the ensuite. The dishwasher is unable to fully open because of the kitchen kickpanels. The aircon was also a little noisy and needs to be checked. This seems a lot but we enjoyed our experience overall.
- Fiona (10/5): -
- England (10/5): -
- Regina (10/5): -
- Donna (9/5): We absolutely loved staying at Urban Rest Richmond apartments. Would highly recommend to stay there! Comfortable, quie -
- Beerd (8/5): Excellent option for a long stay - The key box didn't work, but the phone support was excellent The dishwasher leaked, and the tv remote control did not work,
Maybe something to check occasionally. Other than that, all perfect.
- Chin Woon (10/5): A clean and comfort apartment with great location where you can easily enjoy cuisines from different countries and the p - The cleanliness and the location Nothing
- Mary (9/5): -
- Elisse (10/5): - Lovely spacious apartment. My requests for a cot and highchair were accommodated. Having a full kitchen, washer and dryer is handy when you have a little one. All the amenities you need as well - even little things like clothes drying rack, oil and foil in the cupboard for cooking, as well as quality cookware. It was a beautiful stay and I would stay again.
- Julie (8/5): A fabulous stay in a modern, clean apartment that was in the perfect location. - Fabulous location, close to all ammenities with pool and gym on site. Very comfortable bed. The couch was very uncomfortable. The configuration of the apartment, the bathroom was near the entrance rather than it being close to the bedroom.
- David (3/5): As frequent users of Booking.com this experience was very disappointing. - Great location with trams at the door. Close to the city. The “Richmond Traders” below the apartment offers lots of food options. Arrival and departure instructions did not work/couldn’t gain access and no onsite team to contact
Beds missing from one of the bedrooms (advertised as a 3 bedroom)
Fault with the air con unit resulting in not being able to regulate the temperature
Communication with the hosting company very difficult
Basic items you would expect in a kitchen to cook were not present
Questionable cleaning particularly the carpets
- Ann (9/5): Excellent - Location
Clean modern well equipped although the new toaster provided didn’t work The toaster didn’t work although it looked new
The instructions to key pick up and instructions to access the property and car park really didn’t make sense until you actually found the property and car park . I think a clear map showing the street and lane access would be helpful
- Daniel (8/5): Good trip - Great location and facilities A little noisy on the weekend
- Natalia (8/5): Nice apartment and good location - The apartment is clean enough
Good facilities
Good location Expensive to get it serviced like change towels or bedsheets and dusting or vacuuming
- Curtis (10/5): Great choir - Great property in a great location. The rooms were modern and extremely clean. Located above all the shops you need and just a short walk to Swan St. Have already recommended to friends and even was looking to see if they were available to rent. Nothing, great experience
- Monica (8/5): Great - Nice. Great location More things like dishwash liquid, bin bags etc
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Naz (10/5): Exceptional - It was close to shops and amenities. Tram stop short distance and then go into town. Gym and swim onsite. Lovely. Team at urban kept me upto date great!! Nothing to say about this as everything went smooth thank you team.
