Guest Reviews
- Joan (8/5): Location perfect, easy access to trams and Southern Cross Station. - Location was perfect for this trip Not very clean
- Nadia (9/5): -
- Patricia (9/5): - A pleasure to deal with these people. Very obliging. Lovely apartment. Great location
- Julie (6/5): - Location for our needs was ideal and the price was right. Having kitchen facilities is nice, but we didn't cook for our overnight stay. The apartment could have been cleaner. A lot of dirt/dust build-up around the baseboards. Bathrooms have very dim lighting. However, when you leave the lights on, they do tend to get brighter. Being a 2 bedroom apartment, there is not ample seating in main living area for four people. Only 2 adults can sit comfortably.
- blair (7/5): -
- David (10/5): -
- Ashlee (10/5): - Loved the views the beds and the balcony also 12pm check was the absolute dream much loved night away We loved everything
- Matt (9/5): -
- Sharyn (7/5): - Location was great There was no Wi-Fi cable.
- hilary (8/5): Good for a short city staycation - Great location
Good amenities in apartment
Very clean Only one key was a pain when there were four of us who didn’t all want to be together all the time. Because there’s no reception at the apartment, there’s no way to access your level if other people in your group have the one apartment key
- Deval (10/5): -
- Matthew (2/5): Not great at all. Would not stay there again - Location was great and the beds were comfortable. Easy to gain access to keys. I'm not one to leave a review good or bad but i had to make an exception this time.
The apartment had a bad smell and was not clean properly prior to check in.
Multiple lights not working in the bathrooms
The light circuit turned off due to faulty bathroom fans
The owner sent a guy to advise us not to turn on the fans and that they can't find a tech to attend.
So, for 2 days the bathroom steam took a long time to disappear.
I think this issue has been going on for a while as there is mould on the bathroom ceilings and around the grout on the tiled floor. Disgusting.
Due to this the owner messaged and provided us with a late check out and asked for a 5 star review.
I wouldn't recommend this apartment. Not sure how the other apartments would be.
Recommendations:
Fix the mould in the bathrooms and fan issue
Paint the mould ceilings
Replace the faulty downlights.
Pretty easy and cheap things to complete especially when the 2 night stay cost over $900
- Lesley (10/5): -
- Leisa (10/5): Perfect! - Great location. Great communication with Ben. The apartment was bigger than expected and the beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay again 😊
- Prue (9/5): Great value in a great location - This was a fabulous location and the apartment was large with great amenities.
- Launa (10/5): -
- Parnes (5/5): Good location, below average quality for a city apartment. - Good location near the river Hot water didn’t work
WiFi didn’t work, despite rebooting the unit
Very dark inside
Window lock in 2nd bedroom was broken
Socket above kitchen counter had come away from the wall
Sealant around en-suite shower was mouldy and needs replacing
Smelled of smoke
Very noisy despite the double glazing and height of floor
- Damien (5/5): -
- Matt (10/5): - Great facility and clean and tidy apartment
- Christine (9/5): -
- Anthony (9/5): Excellent value - Location was excellent with tram stop just outside and supermarket nearby. The pool and sauna were very clean and a great way to start my day. One of the lifts didn’t always work efficiently.
- Ms Janice Drew (8/5): I was impressed with the apartment and the two bedrooms were great with own bathroom each! - The location and the option to leave bages at a spot until check in All good
- Yiorgos (8/5): Excellent stay! - Clean and convenient location in the CBD.
- Nicola (9/5): Great location, easy check in/out and great communication. - Great location and value for money considering it was 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom. We were offered a late check out too which was greatly appreciated.
- Nadine (6/5): -
- Luke (1/5): Would never have booked here if I knew it would be like this. We left 15 mins after we walked in and sought other accomm - Horrible smell inside the apartment, stains on the couch, obvious mould issues trying to be covered up and lights not working.
- Vivian (8/5): - Great location
- Kellie (8/5): - It was a nice clean set up with good views, amazing location It didn't have the fanciest amenities, but nothing to complain about either
- Craig (7/5): Location was good, did what we needed it to do - it was ok, needed to go to another location to pick up the keys which was only advised just before check in Air con was a little nosiy, remote wasn't working correctly, lights in the bathroom were very dimmed
- Lee (8/5): -
- Benjamin (1/5): - Nothing Everything
- Kirsty (8/5): Great location. Excellent price - Location was perfect for what we were doing in Melbourne.
Apartment good size for 3 people.
Easy access at any time Quite a lot of dust in the apartment.
Could not shower for very long as it would just flood the floor.
- Kylie (8/5): - Conveniently located to bus station and trams Shower could do with a good scrub particularly hair left in drain grate
Pool was closed
- Mary (10/5): - Great location, very clean beautifully presented. Perfect for a family
- carlos (10/5): -
- Gurpreet (1/5): -
- Stefanovic (10/5): -
- Brandon (8/5): -
- Emily (7/5): This rental is a reliable basic accommodation. - Key collection was easy and host generously gave us late checkout. Location and view were fantastic. Apartment could have been cleaner. Countertops still had residue from previous guests, bedding contained some stains, and door handles were loose on most of the doors.
- Mary (5/5): - Location No hot water in ensuite shower
Drain grate in main bathroom, very dirty
No hair-dryer in main bathroom.
No table and chairs to sit at comfortably
Cupboards in bedrooms, full of spare linen, very untidy and the space should be for the person paying for the apartment!
There was an aweful smell, fish, cooking etc in the apartment most of the time.
- Hayley (3/5): - Good location The apartment did not meet basic safety or cleanliness standards.
During our stay, I stepped on glass in the living room and cut my foot. I also identified an unsafe electrical power point that was coming away from the wall and a screw that fell out of a stool, creating another hazard.
Cleanliness was poor: hair in the shower, bottles and plastic under the beds, and the apartment appeared not properly vacuumed.
I reported these issues promptly. The property did not respond at any point.
Based on my experience, the property was not properly cleaned or safety-checked prior to arrival.
- Graeme (10/5): Ideal for our stay, close to tram and train transport.. would definitely stay there again - Not applicable
- Vicki (4/5): Never stating again - Location Check in was stuffed up. Cleaners were still in room when arrived 1 hr after check in time. Patches in wall and roof everywhere. Poor lights in bathroom. Ni fan or aircon in bedrooms. Linen closet open for anyone to touch clean linen for next gusts. It was stored in bedroom wardrobe. Couch was very uncomfortable and wobbly like legs were going to fall off.
Lucky didn't need to use ironing board either
- Di (8/5): Enjoyed our two night stay beds comfortable and kitchen facilities adequate for our needs, quiet other tenants friendly - Location, Easy access and close parking, pool sauna gym facilities All good although a sharp knife and scissor would have been handy in the kitchen
- Thiago (10/5): - The apartment is very well located, well equipped, and close to shops, train stations, and bus stops. Great value for money.
- Karen (9/5): Great location walking distance to laneways and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay …. - Great location , Comfy beds and very clean Nothing
- Merryn (8/5): - Great location close to public transport , easy check in , clean comfortable apartment and also late check out
- Jet (10/5): -
- Dean (7/5): - Good location. Easy instructions to pick up key at ground floor of apartment block for 24hr arrival
- Karen (5/5): Needs some attention. Beds were comfy - Room was tired, lighting was poor. Cut outs in ceiling. Beds were comfy. Wardrobe taken up with sheets and towels , small amount of wardrobe for guest use. It wasn’t that clean.
- Kirsty (7/5): The price was great, parking easy and only short walk to apartment. - The location was great and the beds really comfortable. The kitchen does not have any sharp knives and ensuite bathroom had some flooding issues however the main bathroom was good.
- Emma (9/5): -
- Faye (10/5): It was very good The power point where the kettle plugs in comes away from wall - No breakfast provided
- Shane (7/5): -
- Darren (9/5): -
- MARIA (9/5): Excellent location, comfortable and very clean SPA and pool area, nice apartment overall. - Everything was very good, very good conditions in the spa and pool But there’s a serious issue: the host only provide one set of keys. This meant my friend had to get up at midnight every time I came home from work. It didn’t allow her to rest properly and also made many logistical things difficult while we were each doing different activities. Please provide two sets of keys when guests need them, or offer an alternative way to store the keys, such as a lockbox with a code outside the building.

- william (8/5): -
- Amanda (3/5): -
- Tamie (8/5): Great apartment would definitely recommend. - The apartment was spacious and the location was very convenient. The wi-fi was not reliable.
- Kerry (9/5): Great quick trip - Great views and very central to the city of Melbourne easy to get too from anywhere Nothing
- Johlene (9/5): - Great location, central to everything 7th
- Luke (8/5): Great value for people who want a 1 night stay in the heart of the CBD - Location, convenience. Dirty bathrooms, belongings left behind by fellow guests.
- Sarah (6/5): - View and location It needed a better clean
- Kristi (3/5): Very disappointing. - It was close to the station It was extremely noisy. The windows wouldn’t close and there were creaking noises all night from somewhere in the building. I had booked for a second stay later in the week but have consequently cancelled (with no refund) due to this poor experience.
Unfortunately I would not book this apartment again, or recommend to anyone else.
- Greg (5/5): Good location, average room - Location Didn’t get instructions on how to option key until after the 3pm check in time
Holes in roof from some type of repair work that hadn’t been patched yet.
Fan in bathroom didn’t work
Drainage in bathroom was poor or blocked from the shower
- Lisa (3/5): Disappointed - Location and view Filthy, lack of light in ensuite, no fans or Aircond in bedrooms
- Stephanie (5/5): We loved the location and hotel facilities, but there were many broken things in the room - The indoor pool was amazing, as the views stretched across the city. We also loved the view from our apartment. Each room had a floor to ceiling view of the city. - The hair dryer did not work
- There were no wooden spoons or a pot stirrer, and the tongs head had melted, so they were unusable
- The vacuum cleaner did not work as the head was broken
- There was only 1 dishwashing tablet, but heaps of laundry liquid, which seemed strange, and was unhelpful
- When we arrived, the bench tops had not been cleaned properly and the rug in the lounge was dirty.
- the bean bag was split so beans spilt all over the floor, and when we messaged the host with our concerns, he did not reply
- The kitchen sink did not hold water with the plug in it.
- Tong (10/5): -
- Tara (9/5): - Our stay was wonderful. The apartment was very well organised, clean, and a really lovely place to stay. The kids absolutely loved it, which made our stay even more special. Thank you again for everything, we would happily stay here again! Tara
- robert (5/5): - Close to the city Communication was poor
- Artur (10/5): -
- Bignell (8/5): - Convenient location. Quiet Bar stools need replacing. Very wobbly. Unsafe
- Gufran (6/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): - The location was great, we stayed for NYE we were able to walk to the Docklands for the fireworks display. It would be handy to have a map with local restaurants provided
- Seunghye (1/5): - Location was good. Nothing was good except that When we arrived I had to ring to ask key collection also about parking. Paid extra $35 for parking at different location and parking building was not good enough. When we got in the apartment there was some sort of liquid spill in the lounge and found hair on the bedding also bathroom was filthy(lots of hair and pile of dust on the drain(drain between shower door)
Couch was so uncomfortable(not even, I guess couch sitting is worn out so uneven)
- MUGHAL (10/5): - Apartment location view
- Kerrie (9/5): - Great value for money 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of town. Beds were comfortable and the coffee pod machine was an unexpected bonus. Nothing
- Gemma (6/5): Great location although lots of maintenance required on the property. - Great location. We were offered late checkout due to apartment not being ready at advertised time. Unfortunately, the property did not meet expectations. The kitchen was advertised as well-equipped, however many essential items were missing or unusable, including a chopping knife, peeler, and adequate utensils, and there was only one wine glass provided.
The bathrooms had several maintenance issues: exhaust fans were not working in either bathroom and only one light bulb was functioning in each. Overall cleanliness was also below standard, with the property requiring a thorough deep clean.
Practical information for guests was lacking, as there were no instructions provided for rubbish or general house guidance. The fridge still contained food from previous guests, which was disappointing.
The dining area was not functional, as the chairs were very unstable with screws missing, making them unsafe to sit on. Storage space was also limited, with cupboards filled with excess linen, leaving little room for guests’ belongings.
Additionally, there was no dryer available as advertised and the Wi-Fi connection was extremely poor, which impacted our stay.
Great location though.
- Manjit (7/5): -
- Wayne (9/5): -
- Prabhudev (4/5): -
- Emma (1/5): Would not recommend staying here - The location was good The apartment was not clean at all,it was really dirty.
The beds were fresh but that was it. We had to shower at the pool as the bathrooms were so dirty.
- Carla (8/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): -
- Nardie (8/5): Pleasant and great locatoon - Easy and convenient location. Easy access to trams. Clean and tidy apartment. Lift was fast The lighting in the apartment was very poor, especially in the bathroom. Difficult to do makeup and see anything in detail.
The showers fell off on us
- Dhruv (10/5): Highly recommend for the value, location and comfort! - Centrally located to tram station and the train station too!
Very nice and clean apartment.
- Danny (10/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): We really enjoyed the whole experience. - Each bedroom had an ensuite and the unit was well set out and equipped.
- Laura (5/5): Good location but wouldn’t book again - Location and beds were comfy Was unclean, stepped on broken glass that was in the rug in the lounge room so place had not been vacuumed from previous guests. Dusty and the backsplash was greasy. Wifi didn’t work, contacted staff and all the did was apologise and didn’t try to fix the issue.
- Ariana (2/5): Yikes. This was a disappointment. - I liked the location. I liked the layout. I thought the persons working the Aurora desk were a delight. They really went above and beyond. Listened and tried to assist with the issues around codes to collect keys and access issues and helped solve the issue. When the tv wouldn’t work the gentleman on desk came over to try and personally fix the issue and was super polite about it. I would rate staff 5 star in responsiveness and politeness, genuine engagement,effort and problem solving. What we didn’t like was non negotiable. Just wanted to relax and watch a film but we’re just left with free to air tv because wifi down. Last night in the city and a solid plan to relax and eat in with a movie -nope.
The place was a little run down and could use some tlc, but that was largely forgivable until s wing how bad the bathroom cleanliness was. Spatter on the walls next to one of the toilets. Old vomit? Could be. Hair clogging up one of the shower drains so badly it nearly overflowed out the door within two mins- saved it with the towels mainly because I didn’t want to be blamed for any of after damage. Towel rack fell off when putting towel on the rack. Sticky bathroom cupboards and old glass stains as well as debris on carpet. Gross ‘slime’ stain on pillow that was on my bed.
Seems that someone stole the sim to the router and so no wifi and no access to anything other than free tv which could have been checked before we arrived/replacements available.
Not booking again. It’s not a cheap hostel where you can overlook these things. I’m going to skip serviced apartments after this to be honest. I have photos in case the owners would like them but I don’t think it would be polite to upload them.
- Caitlin (10/5): Great value stay with a breathtaking view of the city lights. - Recently stayed with my 2 children and check in was smooth, beds comfy and soft and the view was to die for. Manager was nice enough to let us check in early as our train got in early, would happily stay here again! Nothing.
- Jillian (10/5): - Location & late checkout
- Ben (10/5): -
- Adrian (9/5): This place ticks all the boxes and is good value - Location is great, the pool and gym are amazing. Apartment is a good size Brighter lights
- Yvette (8/5): - Great location for our needs, good size, comfy beds, clean, easy to access, Power point in kitchen broken and bedside lamps a little wonky but everything was exactly as we needed.
- Linda (1/5): -
- Vick (7/5): - If you want to deal with robots with no emotions thenthis is the place to be. Nothing wrong with the property. My experience with the booking and the person I dealt with was worst. My first visit in Melbourne after 10 years and I remembered why I did not like things there.
Hard to find the property location, Don’t expect customer service, pay go on time and leave. If your flights change or any assistance needed forget it.
