My husband and I stayed here for eight nights over the New Year period while our daughter was in a nearby hospital having surgery. At this expensive time of year, we found Birches great value for money, especially as their rates became cheaper the longer you stayed, and they offered free parking for us due to our referral from the...

Great location, big rooms, parking on site. As a family, we liked the big park with a fab playground one block away .. a lovely surprise in the middle of Melbourne. More

All communication beforehand was friendly and informative. Tanya greeted us like family. We stayed in the townhouse and *loved* it!! Truly a home away from home. We loathe heading home with a suitcase of dirty clothes, so really appreciated the full laundry facilities. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want or need. Location was perfect for our needs because... More

We arrived and were greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. They had our room ready and gave us plenty of helpful advice regarding the area including but not limited to the shops, transport, and dinning. The rooms are neat and tidy, the cleaner must work very hard, they do ask you if you would like to tip the cleaning... More

The Apartments are older, but comfortable. The friendliness of the staff makes us feel welcome each time. Conveniently located on a tram line which takes you into the CBD in... More

Perfect apartments for a short or long stay in Melbourne - very close to MCG and CBD. Tram 109 takes you straight to the free City Circle route! Apartments are simple but comfortable and the place is immaculately maintained. Best of all, the staff were friendly and very helpful. We've booked our return stay already! More

Coming from a rural area and being very unsure about trams, trains & car travel, we learned all we needed to know from the very helpful & friendly staff. Nothing was too much for them and being an extra busy time for them due to a lot happening in Melbourne, the staff always made time to attend to our never... More

We stayed here a few years ago but in the two bedroom townhouse which is great. I would definitely recommend staying there, however because the two bedroom accommodation was great we were also expecting the one bedroom to be good too. Firstly it is not a one bedroom. I would describe it as an one bedroom suite since there is... More
