“Old, basic but clean!”

This was an obviously old building that needed some work done on it. It was clean but basic. Good points include the location but whether I would use it again is doubtful

“October 2011”

No information pack on arrival - no contact detailsof reception, no indication of where laundry was, no indication of when room would be serviced (it wasn't serviced at all during the 8 days we were there), no indication of how to get replacement towels or toilet paper, no indication of how to dial out using telephone, no indication of how much WiFi or telephone calls cost, no indication of how to dispose of rubbish.

“Filthy, old apartments - nothing like the photos.”

The East Melbourne Albert Street apartments are nothing like the photos representing the apartments. They are a relic of the 70s and in desperate need of a revamp. They were filthy; dust around the skirting boards, mould in the shower, a crack in the toilet, cobwebs and dead insects both inside and outside the windows, ants in the bathroom. The apartments are not serviced, they are only cleaned on the 7th day of your stay and ours wasn't because, according to the receptionist, 'the laundry service hadn't come'. You thus have to ask for toilet paper and towels when they need replacing and you're expected to take your own rubbish out to the bins. The only positive is their location being so close to town and in a quiet area. But I won't be staying there again the next time I go to Melbourne.
