10/10 Exceptional

Great tranquillity is superb
Jake, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, poorly maintained
Beds were comfortable enough. Apartment was very dated. Nothing like the photos on the website. We were offered an apartment which wasn't even at the address we booked. Front door rattled and wobbled even when locked. Bath coating was peeling, bathroom tap had broken and been replaced with a bolt, toilet roll holder was hanging on by a thread
Shaun, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very very toxic
Refuse to check me in even though I was there for the family violence and I need a safe place to be and then they promise to refund my money straight away I had to wait two days later when I got hotels.com to request the refund for me
Aaron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to city
Easy access. Room fairly spacious but decor needs upgrade
Glenn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Prices make trips to Melbourne affordable and can go more often.
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not fancy but meets basic needs.
Unit was basic, reasonably clean except for blood stains on the mattress protector under the sheet, but being a crisp white sheet it was visable through it which was a little off putting. Shower was small but great water pressure and temperature. One thing that was very impressive was how surprisingly cool the unit remained with only one a/c in main bedroom and 38 degress outside. I think with it being on ground level and all concrete walls helped. Great close location to MCG. It wasnt fancy but for the very reasonable room rate it served our purpose well to have a bed for the night and facilities to prepare our own meals while down for the cricket.

Do NOT stay at City Edge Apartments
This is the worst place I have every stayed. We only stayed an hour and got out, it was that bad. I got other accommodation and this was so dirty and unhealthy we could of got really sick. And don't forget the bugs that started crawling all over us. When we entered the air conditioner leaked and half of the lounge room floor was wet. The kitchen stunk and had something sprayed all over the floor. The bathroom has purple stains all over the floor and the toilet had excrement on it and over it, there was toothpaste splatter all over the taps and up the walls. The place was disgusting.

Great place to stay if going to the MCG. Quick and easy check in and out.
Kylie, 1-night trip

Tv didn’t work, reported it but couldn’t be resolved on weekend. Did offer us another unit, but we decided to stay where we were.

Apartment was fine
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The apartment was pretty good, very basic and could do with a little TLC but overall we were happy with our stay. The area and position was excellent for the purpose of our visit.
Jan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good location for footy, that's about it.
Cold, old, drafty apartment with dodgy heater/aircon. Shower was extremely tiny, no room to move. The couches were small and hard like park benches. The bed was ok though. The only reason anyone would stay here is for the really close proximity to MCG.
Cleeve, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Was very dirty inside. I mentioned to the owner and they did not seem to care. Waste of money, u less you want to smell rotten sewage in the kitchen and drink dirty water do not stay here
Tori-lee, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No hot water and TV didn’t work. Lounge smelt terrible. Extremely rude staff.

Lovely apartment, close to the MCG and IGA just around the corner, bathroom a little outdated but clean, close to the train station
Allison, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property is in need of a deep clean, there were clean sheets on the bed and thats where it ended. There looked to be blood on the floor in the living room and every service had some kind of grime on it. The couch was like sitting on a concrete bench and wiifii code did not work. Will not stay again....

aLL WAS GOOD EXCEPT THE UNCOMFORTABLE HARD LOUNGE SEAT
Freule, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The couches was not very comfortable, very hard
Sallyann, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

To make this simpler I have prepared a pros and cons list. For reference we stayed in the second building location. Pros:-provided basic kitchen appliances/ full sized fridge -easy to get to -receptionist was helpful Cons: (buckle up) -appliances were dirty -cutlery/crockery were dirty -dirt on the walls -broken air con -broken dining chair -bathroom sink took a long time to drain -visably stained bedsheets -provided wifi was incredibly slow/barely working Just to name a few. All I can say is you pay what you get for. But even so I wouldn't stay again.
Jessica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really do not go here. It's really terrible. I tho
This place is not remotely like they describe it. Nothing about deluxe family room. Really run down old tired. Everything is bad. I wouldn't let my dog sleep in here. The staff were okay. No I can't say that because they weren't even there. There was no one at the desk. They just sent an email off lock box instructions
Daryl, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location was excellent, close to shops, transport and sporting venues. Easy self parking on site (limited). Room was a good size but absolutely filthy, broken & mismatched furniture, bathtub/shower looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time, grime and dust everywhere and food (or something) sprayed across one of the walls.
Lyndall, 1-night trip
