- Ali (9/5): - Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Clean, comfortable apartment. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again. There were several mosquitoes in the apartment when we arrived. Unsure how they were getting in as all screens seemed sealed and in good condition. We just closed all the windows and killed the ones that were in there, no drama after that but we were reluctant to open the windows again just incase.
- Victoria (8/5): Would absolutely stay again! - Really convenient location, staff were really friendly and nothing was an issue. Was a little dated and cupboard doors a little wonky however this was I think reflected in the price.
- kate (10/5): -
- Deb (1/5): - Cancelled my reservation just before I arrived when I already had a confirmation letter. Left to find other accommodation somewhere else. Not good enough
- Tara (10/5): -
- Emily (10/5): An easy and very enjoyable experience at a great price. - It was very easy to book, collect the key cards and return them. We were also given an extended checkout time which was very unexpected but warmly received. The outdoor area at the back of the property was also pleasant and right next to a train station. N/A.
- Allie (10/5): Excellent - I wasnt expecting mucb as it was quite cheap - but this little hotel is awsome. Super comfy and has everything you need.
- Shirley (9/5): Staff were friendly and stay was pleasant. -
- Jane (5/5): It was fine, but I much prefer Davis Street rooms. - Kitchen was good and functional. Love a full size fridge! Surprisingly large bedroom. Didn't know there would be an extra bed! Cute styling. The heating didn't adequately warm both rooms. So loungeroom was hot and bedroom was cold :/ The couch rocked backwards/wasn't sturdy.
There were people coming and going, up and down the stairs almost constantly and going down the walkway which echoes.
- Jacqueline (8/5): Great location & comfortable - Location and comfort Dated bathroom, stairs to room

- Mohammad Mohsinul (8/5): -
- Louise (9/5): Great staff great location pet friendly - Pets allowed The bath over shower
- Mara (8/5): Excellent location for good price - Quite a spacious apartment in a crowded location. We came from overseas for wedding and needed a lot of space and this is all we needed. Ventilation in the bathroom has to be replaced as it’s quite noisy
- Julie (6/5): Great location, lack of natural night, but prob in an upper floor apartment this would be better - The location and the property was clean The ground floor apartment was pretty dark, very little natural light
- Scott (8/5): - Great location next to Sth Yarra station and everything within walking distance. Good clean one bed apt was a great choice for our 2 night stay. Fold out couch bed was a bit uncomfortable for an adult. It would be fine for kids. There was a mix up with an additional charge levied for the fold out couch but this quickly and professionally fixed with the processing of a refund
- Tess (8/5): -
- Brandon (9/5): Amazing and accommodating staff, great location. - The staff were very nice from the moment I arrived. My room was not ready at the time of check-in, so they immediately upgraded my room free of charge. The room was nice and had everything I needed. There were a couple flies in the room but otherwise the room was clean. There was transport and construction noise across the road.

- JAYJAY1408 (10/5): -
- Jeanette (4/5): You need to employ better cleaners.. Attention to detail is not there.on two occasions the cleaners did not come at all - I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t see outside with frosted glass on every window. It was depressing.

Property was nice and clean, with good amenities. The air con was great at controlling temperature of the place and allowing air to circulate. Staff were fantastic, very helpful and informative. The property was a bit dark, lacked natural lighting, and difficult to get fresh air in the room.
- Bronwyn (8/5): -
- T (8/5): - スタッフさん達がとにかく親切でフレンドリーでした。ベッドメイキングも良かったです。室内にキッチン(食器類も)、食洗機(洗剤も)、洗濯機(洗剤も)、乾燥機、ドライヤーなど、困らない最低レベルの物が揃っていて助かりました!(寝巻きやスリッパ、歯ブラシは無し) 洗面台を使っていると途中から熱湯しか出なくなるので、洗顔に困りました。洗顔だけはキッチンを使いました。
- Craig (10/5): -
- Sherryl (8/5): -
- Chantal (1/5): Rude disappointed and now concerned. - After booking was confirmed I drove there to make it before 8pm but when I got there at 7 :30 the man said that he had cancelled the booking but I wouldn’t be charged It was raining and I had my dog dog in the car with me I was recasted I hope he didn’t actually charge my card because the booking was ready to go and it was no refund .. I will check my bank now because I did not get to stay there …because he wanted to go home . It should not confirm the booking if there is no self check in because that host was very rude and I see why it was such a good deal because he doesn’t even let you check in

- Steven (9/5): -
- prue (7/5): -
- Alex (8/5): -
- Aurelien (7/5): - Check-in and staff were excellent and welcoming and let us check-in early.
Roomy apartment equipped with a dishwasher (although partially broken) and a washing machine.
Great location (however somewhat noisy given the proximity to South Yarra train station). Bathroom ceiling was very low + the shower is in the bathtub so raised resulting in a very difficult and uncomfortable shower position for tall people.
It was good that our bins were being emptied most days (except Sunday) given they had no lids, however the rest of the unit wasn't being serviced except for towels replacement when requested & the beds were made once (on the last day of our stay).
With no vaccum available to us in the unit we couldn't even remove crumbs from under the dining table floor after we had our meals and since the cleaners weren't vacuuming it quickly felt somewhat dirty.
Of note: we were on the 3rd floor with no elevator (not an issue for us but could be for other people).
- Bradley (10/5): -
- Vincent (9/5): -
- Bevan (10/5): - car park availability
- Kim (8/5): Always good, does the job - I stay here often when I travel for work. It is in a great location for my office and it's always clean and well equipped. Sometimes little things don't work (a plug that doesn't fit the bath tub, a tv missing a cable etc) but the staff are responsive via WhatsApp even on the after hours number.
- Anita (10/5): -
- Lisa (8/5): Lovely bed, right in South Yarra with shops/ cafes and bars/ restaurants to choose from. - Extra Large comfortable bed, with decent bed linen. Next to railway line/station so quite noisy very early in the morning…
- Sallyann (9/5): conveniently located, roomy apartment - great location, close to cafes and restaurants, trams and the city. modern decor felt a little tired/old, but nothing too bad
- Tania (9/5): Funky Apartments - Funky design, good size. Staff, especially Marianna, was very accommodating and helpful. The location amazing, around the corner from South Yarra train station. Darling cafe next door has great coffee and breakfast! Could hear trains in the early morning
- harvey (7/5): -
- Rory (10/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): - I selected this venue for a bit more luxury and it was a lovely apartment.
They did daily cleans but that was all.
Came with a bathroom, bedroom (double bed), living room and a connected kitchen and dining space.
The armchairs is the star of the apartment with the netflix TV.
Kitchen was very small and would say not for more than 1 person at a time. Also came with a washing machine but no dryer.
My bed sheets, I had to question if they were new sheets or pillow cases. I only say this due to one of my pillow cases having some black marks. I didn't use that side of the bed but when I checked them near the end of my stay, that worried me and I thought potentially sheets or on this occasion not all the pillow cases had been changed.
Safety, the gate would be left open during the day as well as the building doors which would allow strangers to enter the premise. They only seemed to be closed at night.
Tram and train station closeby and loads to food options too.
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location, nice staff but slightly tired - Positives (1) location right of Sth Yarra high street (2) good amount of space (its a full 1-bed apartment complete with full kitchen, small dining table and lounge) (3) decent price (4) helpful staff
Negatives (1) its a renovated motel so its not luxury fittings and fixtures (2) bit of light pollution in bedroom (needs blackout blinds) (3) bathroom is a bit cold in winter
- Catherine (10/5): -
- Georgie (9/5): -
- Nathan (8/5): Great place, would stay again. - Location was awesome, super easy to get to lots of places and heaps of food close by. It has a bath and washing facilities inside. Also had Netflix. Not much really. Bath tap temperature was a little awkward to get right. Also be aware the shower in the bath could be a slip hazard for some guests.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing for the price will definitely be back - Great location so convenient. Great spacious room. Staff were helpful
- Hoang Ngu (8/5): -
- Joss (10/5): - Awesome value for money. Large airy rooms. Na
