Very affordable, large and fine for a quick stay.
Cons:
• noisy - evening sports games most nights nearby and the windows sound like they’re open
• odour in the rooms - pipes smell - needed to ventilate each day
• aircon/heater broken - screen completely shattered, couldn’t use (fortunately room was just warm enough without)
Pro:
• water pressure - shower was very good
• basic essentials - has basics you need (pots, pans, etc)

I’ve stayed here four times this year, and each room has been fantastic. I love the proximity to trains and trams, as well as the shopping and restaurants within short walking distance. Front desk staff are excellent.

I had read some nightmare reviews of this place and was half expecting to see mushrooms on the walls, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the room tidy and spacious. I didn't get much of a chance to use the oven/stove, but the kitchen was well appointed. The aircon fan made some odd noises, and some of the walls could use a bit of fresh paint (general scuff marks), but the space was comfortable. Front desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Cheap, good location. Hot water went off for 48 hours and banging pipes kept us awake until the boilers were replaced for the building (quite quickly). Our room had no working washing machine so we were moved. Cleaning staff left our room unlocked twice. I asked for a refund for the 2 days without hot water, and did not receive a reply.

Very friendly & helpful staff members. Amazingly quiet for such a busy road. Comfortable beds - mattress high quality. The bathroom could be made safer by having more of an angle on the tiling to drain the water directly into the drain rather than around the bathroom. Very clean in all areas. Thank you.

There was an issue with the cistern, but I eventually got it to stop running. There was no light above the vanity in the bathroom, so shaving was done in shadow. Otherwise good.

The receptionist who I met upon arrival was very helpful and is an asset to the business.
The apartment is in a wonderful location and close to dining, shopping and entertainment.
The apartment itself was spacious and very well resourced (oven, cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, bath/shower, washing machine and dryer). Comfortable couch and a dining table/chairs to use. Lovely balcony.
I advised the property on maintenance and cleaning issues which do need attending to.
I would be happy to stay at the property again provided the cleaning and maintenance feedback is actioned.
Thank you.

Excellent apartment very close to Melbourne CBD. Everything was as described - a lovely spacious apartment withing walking distance to all public transport, and only 2 stops on the train into Flinders St station.Plenty of dining options & bars within 5 minutes of apartment, with a Woolies across the road (50 metres). Would definitely stay here again next time in Melbourne.

We booked here for 7 nights, told at reception I would have to pay extra each night for a bed as rooms were two queen beds , I had requested one room with 2 beds for kids. Lady in line behind me said to me she had a two b/room unit with one of the rooms with 2 single beds so why couldn’t we go into that one as they were checking out. Turned out it was the same room that was been given to us, receptionist argued with her it wasn’t set up like that. Anyway we got in and it was 2 beds so was fine. A couple of days in I was asking for toilet paper etc as nothing was getting topped up. Had to ask for towels twice. And was only given 3 - when there was 4 of us. Place was really unclean, food splattered on walls , ice cream smeared on windows and bathroom floor obviously wasn’t cleaned before we went in as my son had a shower and the floor mat was brown on the underside. Lots of the windows wouldn’t open. I saw we only had two knives in kitchen, let receptionist know so we could get more. She asked if I needed more -yes please there’s 4 of us in the room. For what we paid I expected better service and expected it to be at least clean and to get clean towels and amenities restocked over a weeks stay

The property is comfortable, but basic, and a little dusty in higher up areas. The showers are also quite basic and are difficult to get to a comfortable temperature, but this is only a minor inconvenience.

Staff are great and helped out with any concerns I had during my stay - but I did struggle getting in touch with the property through the Expedia chat before checkin. I'd recommend giving them a call if you need anything, as they were very happy to help.

All told, I'd stay here again in future.

Arrived at Melbourne South Yarra Apartments on Thu 21st Nov at 2:00 am. The South Yarra Apartments did not leave information regarding the key for our room. Had to ring after hours for the key info. Once inside our room there was no third bed that we booked, so again we had to ring after hours to get another bed.
Then we realised the air conditioning was not working. Reported to the Apartment Manager and was told he will look into it. Follow day still no Airconditioning and the Manager told us the Electrician will look at it today. Still not fixed. The Manager came to our room to check the air-conditioned, controls and vents. But did not tell us it was fixed. Still no Airconditioning. Spend the whole 4 nights with no Air-conditioned and Toilet not flushing. The Melbourne South Yarra Apartments Manager, did not offer us another room or temporary / portable air-conditioner. When we checked out, we asked for compensation because of no air-conditioning for the whole stay. He said he will raise it with Management at Head Office. I have been ringing the manager every day since Sunday with a reply still waiting for Head Office. I rang head office today Thu 28th Nov and they have no report of the issue, and they are very rude and do not want to help their customers. They told me if there is compensation it would be a least 2 weeks for the process. Therefore with my experience with Melbourne South Yarra Apartments they are not honest and fair with there dealings.
