Just a bit disappointing
Quite dingy although clean enough. Had some work to do and consequently had some guys cutting down a tree for half the day. Wifi was constantly dropping out. The location to chapel was great though. Easy walking distance to everything but far enough away that it was quiet. Just a bit disappointing is all as the pics looked pretty nice.

Response from Angela on Dec 23, 2022
Hi Mark, we're so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. I'm surprised you had difficulty with the WiFi at the apartments, it is NBN and is generally reliable, we seldom have reports of issues, but may have been a supplier outage of some sort. We will have maintenance check. I do apologise if any maintenance work was disturbing. Please be assured all photos online are of our exact apartments - we fully redecorated all apartments in 2021, and new furniture too in all apartments. We are glad you found your apartment clean, and enjoyed our great location. I apologise if it did not meet expectations in other areas. We thank you for choosing to stay with us, and wish you all the best.

Matthew

Despite the fact that the apartment was clean and well kept, the walls were so thin that we could hear the people staying in the room above us urinating in the toilet. Not to mention these people were having a gathering despite the no party policy, clearly not well enforced, which meant that my partner and I did not get any sleep until 4am after complaining for a second time to the front desk. Whether it was because we were on the ground floor I’m not sure, but we could hear every move and word these people made throughout the entire night which made it impossible to sleep. Absolutely terrible, will never stay here again.

Response from Angela on Jul 6, 2022
Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for your kind review, we're really glad you enjoyed staying with us. Our reception is around 7-8 minutes walk from the apartments, unfortunately the apartments are too small to have a full reception desk on their own. This enables us to provide full reception services, which most serviced apartments don't have, so many of our guests find this higher level of service to be a good bonus. Thank you for staying and we hope to see you again sometime. :)

Older unit block renovated
Our stay was fine at the apartments, location is good. We were on the 3rd floor and the apartments got quiet warm and only have an older style air con unit which took a long time to cool the unit down. Budget stay would stay again but would be happy to pay a bit more and stay at a better quality unit.

Hi Allan, Thank you for your recent stay and review. We are sorry to hear the apartments got a bit too warm. We understand Melbourne's summers can be unbearable without properly functioning AC. We are currently looking into this issue at the moment and hopefully will have this rectified before your next stay.

Missed the mark
Great location with little street noise but lots of noise from the other units. I'm not sure if a more solid front door is need for better noise reduction. We could hear doors slamming all night and people talking all night. It didn't help that the bed was not very comfortable.

Hi Sofie, I am sorry to hear your recent stay with us didn't live up to expectation. While we do try to minimise noise and disruptions as much as possible, sometimes it can't be avoided. We will look into ways to remedy this problem further, including the possibility of more solid doors as you suggested. Thank you for your stay and suggestion and hopefully you will give us another chance soon. All the best.

Choice of ground floor apartment was great, Onsite free parking, 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. Full kitchen with all the utensils needed. The king size bed was wonderful but as winter in Melbourne an electric blanket would of been a nice addition.
