Several of the listed amenities were not available. The studio apartments lack a dishwasher and laundry services even within the building. The room's condition was heavily worn and unclean particularly the bathtub/shower. Also very limited front desk help. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Melbourne Apt Hotel on Elgin. We used their laundry services and they're very close to the trams. Many eateries nearby too.

Run down but clean.

The rooms were quite run down. There were multiple holes in the carpet and the toilet seat had a weird texture like the paint layer was cracking. The water temperature in the shower was inconsistent, and would flutuate even when the knob wasn't touched.
The kitchen was poorly stocked - 1 knife, 2 forks, 2 teaspoons and no big spoons. There was some plates etc.
It was generally clean and the bed was reasonable.
Hotel was quiet and in a nice area. The hotel was quick to respond to emails and had a good late check in process.

The location of the property was excellent, in amongst terrific eateries in Lygon Street and surrounding streets.
The bed in the apartment was comfortable and clean.
The receptionist that greeted me upon arrival was very polite and helpful. She is an asset to the business.
The property in general was fair, very old and dated in many areas. It needs a significant attention.
The room I was in was appalling. There was a large hole in the carpet (approximately 6inches square), the couch was marked in various places, the window in the main room was filthy, as was one of the blinds, the bathroom floor was filthy (I washed it before I used the shower/bath), there was significant dust on all skirting boards throughout the apartment indicating the property hadn't been property cleaned in ages, the walls were marked throughout (and I cleaned several marks off myself and which proved that it is basically just poor housekeeping/upkeep by management), the bathroom tiles were in dire state and there had obviously been a terrible leak at some point in the apartment as the skirting boards were badly warped and marked (through water damage).
The property's location is really the only thing going for it. Whilst the nightly rate is of course lower than other properties in the city/nearby, however a lowered rate should not result in a dirty property - and which is what I encountered.
I would not return. Thank you.

Disappointed with my stay here. First the WiFi was not working across much of the building (including my room), which I was not notified of until I raised the concern. Then the room itself was not very clean, with many hairs and stains in the bath, dirty mugs and cutlery I had to scrub before use, and rubbish left from the previous guest on the shelf. Once I had cleaned the bath, even the tap handle fell off in my hand when I tried to use it.

The bed was comfy however.

The place needs a good clean. There was dust on the top of powerpoints and any less-used surfaces. There was a very unpleasant smell from the sink in the kitchen. When I arrived all windows were open and there were flies in my room. Carpets throughout are shabby and dirty.
When unattended, the reception area looks like a prison.

The hotel is pretty tired with worn carpets etc, but is in a good location just off Lygon St (which is very busy in the evenings). Our room was next to the noisy lift and appeared to have some damp issues but was a decent size and well equipped with a comfortable bed (but only one pillow each). Staff at front desk were very friendly and helpful though. Overall it was not expensive for where it is, but be aware you don't get a premium experience for a budget price.

Good location, close to Lygon street, but far enough back that its quiet enough. Walking distance to the city, but again far enough away that you can see the sky.

Really Dirty, shower filthy and covered in mold/mildew. Ants in the bathroom and on the beds in one of the bedrooms. Noisy with constant banging night and day from one of the a joining apartments. A dog was whining in the morning from same apartment. Air vents in bathroom and kitchen had10 years of dust. Locked out of the car park, the intercom was turned off on us, one of us had to walk around the block into the garage to open from inside. Eyelash on one of the pillows and water damage in the corner of one of the brooms. Freezer full of ice. Dirty windows and balcony with a view of dump bins overflowing with rubbish. Grotty lift that jolted and shutterd.. smell in hallway pretty bad. Otherwise ok.

Great location, tired accomodation

Front counter staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great but room tired and window in bedroom would not shut overnight. It was Saturday night so could hear the sounds of Carlton. Shades do not block out sun in the morning which also didn’t help the poor sleep due to street noise.

Wasn’t made obvious when we booked that we had to pre organise a car park. Looking back at emails, it was only written in small print, yet when booking it was made clear that the hotel had onsite car parking.

The location was fantastic, as were the staff. The room was quite spacious, but it could do with a really good clean. The skirting boards and behind appliances were really dirty and dusty. The basin in the bathroom didn't drain which was really off putting when used it. Considering the price and location I would probably give it another go if staying in Melbourne due to the location.

Comfortable accommodation on Lygon St

Carlton Apartments has been our go to place to stay for more than 20 years now. Whilst the decor is a bit tired it’s always friendly, comfortable and spacious when compared to some of the newer apartment buildings. Equiped with a washer and dryer for those longer stays or great stopover to recharge and refresh. With Lygon St at the doorstep the location is a foodies dream priced to suit the budget conscious. Looking forward to our next stay.

The location and staff were A
Other than that not much positive to say about the property.
Sliding door to the balcony was broken, couldn't open.
The sink in the bathroom was semi clogged up.
Also under the couch cushions there were old lollies.

All in all, it was nice in that suburb but really glad to be back home

Service was great, location perfect, but when you walked in the room you could smell the mould. The room itself was very clean, but there was built up mould along the edge of the shower/bath, and when I opened my suitcase on returning home, you could smell it in my clothes. Pity, because other than that, it was fine.

Property was fine for a night, however one of our children was sick in the bathroom which we obviously cleaned up, however we were then charged $200 for the clean. We were told they tried to contact us which was a lie; they also told us the damage was far worse than it actually was. So disappointing to have so much money taken for something which we had already dealt with (the only giveaway was a smell in the room as we had cleaned up the actual issue).

These apartments are in a convienient position for tramming in & out of the city. Also walkable. The hotel itself is run down & basic although reasonably clean. The window in our room did not close..needs replacing..it was cold.
Requsted a balcony..never got that request. It was an average stay but wouldnt stay again unless it was updated. Have stayed in better places for the price.

I enjoyed my stay. Close walk to Lygon Street and City Central for shopping. The place needs updating. Worn carpet, dirty air conditioner, dust behind washing machine, toilet seat needs replacing. I found it quite noisy inside the place early one morning. Doors and lifts opening and closing.
