City Edge Serviced Apartments 179 Powlett Street, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002

"Stayed here for one night. Luckily only one night, would have to be up there with one of the worst hotels iv stayed in. They have three different buildings that people stay in and you check into the "main building" then they give you directions to the other buildings. The second building is 800m down the road and they said "look for the red building" it's not "the red building across the road" it took us a good 20 mins to find and if you've got anything bigger than a cx5, forget about parking on site. The car parks are tiny and once they are full, they are painful to get out of. Now the room... The room stunk of bleach when we arrived, the couch was hard as a rock with almost no padding, I definitely recommend taking some blankets or pillows as the bed was terrible. No safe to put valuables, we had the heater on all night because the bed had minimal bedding, you can see by the pictures of what we got. Next time I'd pay the extra for a better hotel and check reviews!!"

"My friend and I got to the apartment and there were stains everywhere, including on our sheets (they had not been changed) the dishes were left in the dishwasher and the glasses were stained. The shower head was extremely low and they also did not take out the rubbish from the previous tenants. Would not recommend at all."

"good location with a tram and bus stop just around the corner. the room itself was pretty comfortable. not stand out customer service but they did hold our bags until check in which was appreciated. unfortunately thats where the positives end for me. upon checking in we did have to do a short walk to a seperate building to get to our room, having to walk up two flights of stairs with suitcases, but i can live with that. there was several rubbish bags outside our room. upon getting into the room we discovered it was not clean at all. the bin had not been emptied, the toilet seat had pee on it, there was dirty dishes, the dishwasher hadnt been emptied and the sheets on all three beds were stained. while the accommodation was of course very cheap, cleanliness should be the bare minimum and i shouldnt have to pay a premium price for a clean room. at the very least they did change the bed sheets to clean ones when asked. given we checked in an hour after the check in opened they had plenty of time to clean our room and the state our room was in was unacceptable."

"DO NOT STAY HERE!! Right from check in the issues started. The hotel has 4 separate sites and only one reception so you have to check in at one place and depending on the location they assign you, walk another few blocks to it. The directions were a little vague as to how to get there. We had booked a one bedroom executive apartment 5 months prior and were surprised to find that the actual apartment was nothing like we had seen online. Our apartment had had some badly done cosmetic work but that was probably it in at least 50 years. Overall the whole apartment needed a good clean. There were 4 power points in the apartment and only one in the bedroom which the lamp plugs into. The so called self sufficient kitchen has minimal cookware (and no oven) which was dirty. The couch in the lounge room is hard as rocks so you really couldn't sit on it to watch TV for more than a few minutes. There's a very small table that was rickety. The shower is over a bath and had a small screen which meant the floor got wet. No tissues supplied. The cupboard below the basin was mouldy. There's only one bedside table in the bedroom and the bed was a double not a queen as advertised. It was however comfortable enough. The only good thing to this accommodation was the proximity to the MCG. It was roughly a ten minute walk. The cheap price was not worth it."
