Guest Reviews

• Khalid Majhud A (1/5): They cancelled my reservation without any reason. - ولاشي I couldn't stay because they cancelled my reservation without any reason, putting me in an embarrassing situation. I booked somewhere else on the same day at a higher price.
• Catherine (1/5): Horrible state of the apartment with non-accommodative hosts - Could not recommend LESS. This place was the dirtiest accommodation I have ever arrived at. I had to leave and could not stay due to it being uninhabitable. Hosts were unaccommodating and have since ignored me and any of my requests for a refund. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with an accommodation.
• John (6/5): -
• Chris (1/5): Do not waste your money - Location Apartment was dirty, when I contacted management nothing was done . Doggy door banged all night, latches to lock it were broken. Coffee cups in cupboards were dirty. No block out blinds or curtains. Linen for sofa bed were just thrown in, not folded.
• Luke (10/5): -
• Claudia (7/5): Location was very good, apartment was clean and staff were nice but it definitely needs a bit of TLC, more lighting is a - It was in a good location There wasn’t enough lighting, there was no ceiling lights in the apartment at all just bedside lamps everywhere which was a bit silly. And unfortunately the previous tenants broke the dining table , we were a family of 5 with only two stools for the breakfast bar so 3 of us had to stand to eat any kind of meals. In my kids bedroom one of the bed bases didn’t have legs so the mattress was practically laying flat on the floor on wood slates which was disappointing, I made them aware but they already knew about it and didn’t seemed to worried to rectify it. There wasn’t any spare toilet paper so I had to ask for more, 5 of us were staying for 5 days with only one roll.
• Malcolm (6/5): Pleasant -
• Wulan (5/5): Passable -
• Dave (8/5): Very good - Location, parking and room size were fantastic. There wasn't adequate bedding for the sofa bed, we booked the apartment for 6 - 3 adults and 3 children - there was only 1 pillow, a doona and no sheets.
• Karen (7/5): Good -
• Yan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elyana (9/5): Superb -
• Pornprapha (6/5): Location is convenient but need more light in each room - Good location and provide car parking. Not enough light and blankets for groups.
• Nicole (7/5): Convenient and fun - Convenient and secure Single beds were in poor condition, whole unit needed a good deep clean
• Sara (6/5): Pleasant -
• Anna (1/5): Won’t book with ready set again! - Location The property was dirty, windows filthy, table in lounge broken, lights not working and main door from hall didn’t have a working lock. The key collection process was impersonal and not helpful. I really didn’t like having to send personal information such as my licence via another portal, it felt less than secure however my only other option was to send it via email or my booking would be cancelled. I informed management that the door wouldn’t lock and they kept wanting more contact. This should have just been fixed and not interrupting my holiday with my family
• Susan (7/5): Central and convenient, - Central in Melbourne's CBD, just across the road from the skybus ( 20 mins from international airport) ,Southern Cross Station, trams and a shopping centre. Industrial view across the station and skyline, but no street noise. Secure entry, good soundproofing ( heard no-one), small basically supplied kitchen, washer, dryer, dishwasher. Good parking for extra charge. Good base for travelling around Victoria. Not too expensive for situation. Rather tired decor ( cracked sink, no plug, no remote control, surfaces scuffed, bedside light not working, wall sockets loose and cracked). Obviously a holiday rental where guests don't care. Had to buy own sink plug and batteries when a remote eventually delivered so bit frustrating. Balcony very narrow, could take a chair out and sit sideways, but more for standing. Nothing major wrong,
• Cyndie (5/5): Passable - Location. Room wasn't clean. Lighting didn't work. Door lock wasn't functional.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kieran (8/5): Very good - View, location, facilities Couch was tatty, power point for dryer and washing machine was lose and plugs fell out. Warm in bedroom, no air conditioning on in lounge.

• Jason (10/5): We enjoyed our stay. - Location Out dated furniture
• Shereen (5/5): Passable - Location Run down and lots of dirty marks on walls . Lighting was terrible and instructions in the folder were ridiculous. Check your garbage instructions ‼️
• Yan (9/5): Superb -
• Jamie (9/5): Superb -
• Natalie (5/5): They need to purchase a dustpan and can opener for the apartment. - The location was excellent! The apartment wasn’t very clean. The couch was full of pulled threads and stained. The vacuum didn’t have any suction at all. The bathroom sink was cracked. It was really dusty and I found stuff under the bed that wasn’t ours.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Benn (7/5): Will probably not come back - Key pickup and location not bad I got hounded by messages to do things all by different forms of communication.
• Pia (2/5): disappointing state for such a long stay booked well in advance. - could not fault the location. nice layout. It was very dirty when we arrived, including the dishes.The beds were broken,the dishwasher & dryer was broken. The heat pump needed the filter cleaned to work properly. Only dim lamps in the bedrooms, poor lighting. Difficult service staff.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Yan (9/5): Superb -
• Brennan (3/5): Poor - The location was good the apartment was disgusting dirty with broken furniture. Old and tired needing updates and repairs. would not recommend to others.
• Frances (1/5): Dreadful - There was very little that we liked about the property, A cleaner apartment it was dreadful I will never stay there again and never recommend it to anyone. The walls and ceiling were dirty with marks the glass windows and doors were also dirty. Some linen was soiled with stains. The staff were sullen and unhelpful when asked any queries.
• Timothy (8/5): Very good -
• Penny (5/5): Passable - the central location the rooms were very dirty, the constant email and messages was overwhelming and confusing, it made it an unpleasant experience
• Yim (7/5): Good -
• Abdul (4/5): Unclean however good location - Great view and location and the car spot which is an additional cost however. Bad smell in the apartment, dirty table cloth, broken sofa bed which was unusable. Didn't supply the correct amount of linen for 4 people.
• Sharee (7/5): It was good, but could have been so much better with a little more attention to detail. - Loved the location!! It was easy to access and the staff that we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The apartment was comfortable and fitted our family of 6 in well for the weekend. Good facilities (indoor pool and spa). It was great value for money There were crumbs on the bench around the toaster. Not enough sheets were provided for the sofa bed and one of the sheets were crumpled and didn't look clean. Three of the dining chairs were broken. It would have been nice to have a bath mat, hand towel and face washer provided. There was barely any toilet paper on the roll when we arrived.
• Erin (8/5): Very good -
• Trent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Muff (1/5): We loved our 2 weeks in Melbourne, too bad the place we stayed spoiled a big part of it. - Not much, it stunk and was filthy. The picture on the web site is not of the room we got. The room (807) would have been acceptable if it didn't stink and was clean. We know when we book rooms at the lower end of the price spectrum we can't expect a 5 star place but what we do expect is for the place to be clean and during our 11 weeks touring Australia and New Zealand with one exception-this place- that was what we found. When we suggested a solution to the smell and dirt we were told it would be too expensive to do. They did offer to let us out of our contact if we could find another place but unfortunately we could not. The smell of mold and very heavily applied fabric freshener to cover it up, the filth everywhere in the place (we have photos to document this), the attitude we got from the managers when we suggested if they steam cleaned the carpet it would make the place acceptable to us. They even said they wouldn't refund us all our damage deposit because we left the place so dirty but when we said we had photos of the dirt and mold throughout the apartment the deposit was immediately refunded.
• Pam (4/5): Disappointing - Location, location Facilities were either cracked, broken or cheap and nasty. Beds were uncomfortable, bedding supplied thin and cheap.
• Dianne (1/5): Extremely disappointed with the apartment could be good if maintenance was up to date & cleaned - There was no breakfast offered !! Location was good . Two single beds broken / one doona had blood stains on it / dishwasher didn’t work / bathroom door handle falling off/ blind missing from main bedroom/ blinds in lounge room didn’t work/ broken chains Windows were filthy plus balcony was filthy dirty also / balcony door from lounge room didn’t lock .
• Emily (1/5): worst stay I’ve ever had and expect a refund! - location was good but that was about it. the whole place was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned. dust was thick all over and the Aircon was pumping out more dust! food scraps left in the cupboard and the whole place smelt. called customer service and they said they would call a cleaner out but they never showed up so we had to clean the apartment ourselves.
• Marycard (7/5): great location to Marvel Stadium but not the comfortable apartment that was advertised. Disappointed - The location to our event was brilliant - we were able to park our car securely once we sorted the right carpark as the instructions were confusing. The tram was right out the front of the building and we could walk easily to everything else we needed to access. The keys were not at reception for pickup as they were locked in the room by the cleaner and we had to wait for an emergency set to be dropped off, 30 minutes later! We arrive to the room expecting to find a cool space as it was a very warm few days, however the air-con was blowing out warm air and not cool. We reported the issue later the evening and no one bothered to rectify the situation and so despite advertising air-con it didn't have one! The apartment was overfilled with furniture and not dining table to seat 3 people. There was no teaspoons and only 2 dessert spoons for 4 people. 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 people for 4 days! More concerned with checking in and out rather than the comfort.
• Bao (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (1/5): Bad - nothing beds where like sleeping on concrete and a few other things
• Lily (5/5): Passable - The hotel is well located, close to the railway station with convenient transportation. Indoor facilities are relatively complete. Cleaner did not check if the linens are clean before they put it on. Car park remote was not put in the envelop for late check in. The same car park remote does not work at all and it was only swapped for us after we made at least 3 calls with the support.
• Jane (5/5): Location was great - It needed to be much cleaner. The balcony had bird poo on the ground and on the glass screen, the ground was dirty, windows dirty , dirty doona and bed sheets , yuck !! ( which Host replaced ) sink blocked ( took 5 days before it was fixed ) .,walls had marks on them.sent photos of the problems but no one came to inspect. I cleaned the apartment while we were there and before we left but again Host should have come physically to inspect.Not fair to take holding fee out of our credit card $295 for 14 days after exiting apartment without physically inspecting it. Not value paying $2,400 for the week and then having cleaning issues.Location was fantastic. Solving the above issues would encourage us to recommend ReadySet guests to rent at that location but not in the state we experienced.
• Mardi (7/5): We had a good stay overall - location was great. easy to find and check in the sofa bed was very uncomfortable for 1 person. Toilet was dirty upon arrival. light didn’t work in 2nd bedroom, had to use bedside lamp. needs a coat of paint and finger prints wiped off walls
• Ira (8/5): This apartment has the potential to be an excellent place to stay, it just needs a little love - Excellent location close to all forms of public transport with grocery stores, liquor stores and food and beverage option all within a stone’s throw. Plenty of beautiful street art around the area to check out as well. The building’s pool, sauna and gym facilities were all clean and well-maintained The room was spacious and had everything we needed, however, it’s not as polished as the pictures will lead you to believe. A couple of the lightbulbs needed replacing, there were scuff marks and handprints on the walls and ceilings, and the glass doors and windows could have done with a clean. Also the shower pressure was pretty ordinary, and the shower head kept falling down
• Monique (7/5): Good - central location lots of water damage in the room and bathroom. only one key worked to lock the door. was very hard to get other key to lock and unlock door.
• Cathy (6/5): reasonably suitable but disappointing that notification regarding plumbing issues occurred the day prior to start of wee - location close to public transport trouble with plumbing
• Helen (1/5): Disappointing and expensive - The view and location were great no air conditioner, dirty counter tops, no plates in kitchen
• Elaine (5/5): Passable -
• Drew (2/5): I was really disappointed with the facility & will never recommend it to anyone. We weren’t even offered any compens - The apartment we had booked had no electricity, so we were moved to this one. When we got there, it hadn’t been cleaned. The bed had not been freshly made, there were dirty towels piled up on the floor & crumbs on the bedside table, not to mention the state the bathroom was in. The staff told me I would have to wait until the next day to have the sheets changed and the apartment cleaned. Also we had booked an apartment with 2 bedrooms, with a double & 2 singles. We were given one that had 2 doubles. Bit of a problem when my adult children didn’t want to share a bed. There were no plates, only a couple of bread plates & no milk or coffee etc which would normally be provided when staying in any apartment.
• Dominic (8/5): The appartment allowed our group to have a great small trip due to the location and communication of the owner. - - Location - Appliances - Comfort of couch and television - Balcony - Accessibility - Car park - Lack of bedding and sheets - Lack of towels and other small wipes - Condition of mattress
• Kara (7/5): Good -
• Courtney (9/5): Superb -
• Sudarshan (9/5): Superb -
• Oscar (8/5): - thanks
• Kirstyn (5/5): Great location, grotty apartment. - The location was fantastic and the apartment was perfect for what we needed. The apartment was not clean, things were broken/damaged leading to my children cutting themselves on two different things, keys were not ready at stated check in time and communication was poor.
• Rita (4/5): Disappointing - Staff were more than helpful Unit was tidy but dirty. Dirty tissues hand marks on walls dusty outdoors dirty with indoor coffee table unassembled outside. Not as in pictures at all. Stains on pillows. Holes in carpet. Couldn't use bath as we were told of before getting there. If was cleaned properly and fixed up abit would be a great place.
• Gerard (4/5): the rooms need to be cleaned properly - location it was dirty
• Carla (8/5): - The property was really good will definitely stay again. Only issues were no quilt covers and that there was tablets/pills around the apartment. The cleaners weren’t thorough enough.
• Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant -
• Yolenta (6/5): Great location, close to tram and train station southern cross - very great location to go anywhere they provide rice cooker and some cooking sauces Description of facilities from booking.com to the reality is different, Air conditioning is not working. they gave very limited toilet paper and tissue paper. They did not provide garbage bag
• Shivneel (9/5): Superb -
• Maryam (5/5): Passable - Location The place was not clean. Lots of dust especially under the beds and the bathroom not clean
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Susana (10/5): shower water can make big - all good all good
• Amy (9/5): Superb - very spacious lack of communication and no in person contact
• Kate (8/5): Very good - Very big space to do stuff around yous also a lot of space in the rooms That someone didn’t empty their vacuum from last time and while cleaning it out there was huge glass pieces in it so I ended up cutting myself
• Gary (4/5): - I encountered many problems: *When I picked up the key only one was provided. I asked about a second key for my wife and was told I would need to walk almost a kilometre to the Readyset office on King Street to obtain a second key. A second key should be a standard arrangement for any hotel or apartment rental. Only one of three globes in the bathroom was working. Shaving, for example, was impossible as there was no lighting over the vanity basin. I asked on my first day for this to be rectified but nothing was done about it. There was only one bedside lamp and it had no globe in it. I also asked for this to be fixed but nothing was done about that. There were large white stains on the bedroom floor – see attached picture. The space between the end of the bed and the bedroom wall was so narrow that we had to shuffle sideways to move from one side of the bedroom to the other. The balcony lounge chairs were severely soiled and some had multiple cigarette burn holes in the upholstery full – see attached pictures. The chairs in the apartment were dilapidated and the surface material was peeling off. Only one 200ml container of milk was provided for two people to use over five days for tea and coffee. We attempted to wash something in the washing machine but it did not appear to be working, and was full of water. A sign in the kitchen asked us to load the dishwasher before leaving. However, there was no dishwasher. Surely that should be standard equipment in any apartment rental.
• Paul (8/5): - Was in a central part of town. Very accessible. Comfortable and staff were very helpful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great position and good amenities for the price
• SHARON (8/5): - Pretty characterless apartment but perfectly fine. Building is undergoing renovations so it feels a bit like a building site but inside the apartment was fine. Lovely views, quiet.
• Coconut (6/5): - Location was great! Communication with the owner was easy.
• Robert (8/5): - close to all shops food outlets and transport but had problem picking up key if arriving after 7pm not a good set up
• Sandra (8/5): - Great central location. Easy access to transport, food, shopping and entertainment. The apartment was comfortable and secure with all the basics provided. Thank you to Lilly and Sam for your friendly and helpful service. An enjoyable experience, I will stay again some day in the future.
• Cindy (4/5): Disapointed with appartment - Positioning was great. Only got 1 key on arival, recieved second a few days after after I strongly told them wasnt acceptable. Aircon didnt work well (had to still rug up to keep warm) they bought portable heaters for us after another complaint. 1 hot plate doest work. Mould in shower. Dirty cotton tips in cupboard on arrival. They said someone could sleep in lounge room fold out lounge yet blinds were see through so didnt block night lights out let alone morning sun. Sliding door handle was broken, door cracked and didnt shut proberly so cold draft in room the whole time. Broken crokery in cupboard Safety door-close on lift doesnt work so my daughters pram got wedged in doors and I had to pry open to move it. Overall after paying $2200 to stay there was very disapointed with the room.
• Geoffrey (2/5): Disgusting - This hotel is the worst l have stayed in, things were broken ,it was dirty stains on carpet, marks on walls ,balcony covered in cigarette butts, sliding doors to balcony wouldn;t close properly causing cold air to come in, overall Disgusting.
• joanne (10/5): close to everything - A last minute getaway, which was in an excellent location.
