Recently stayed here for Planetshakers Conference 2012. It's got a seperate bathroom, a microwave/fridge and air con. only a 10/15min walk to Hisense Arena. Sure it's not the prettiest thing on earth and most of the rooms smell like smoke, but if you want to see Melbourne & just have a bed to fall into at night, this is perfect.... More

Really run down. Not advised room was smoking. Bad smoke smell. Nice receptionist. Very narrow carpark. Car parked in access to spaces blocked me in. Nearly missed plane. More

Don't waste your money on the room or the service. Location is of good quality but there is no quality about these apartments. I would rate them 2 star at the best and do NOT recommend this place especially for families or value for money. More

If you are looking for great value, this is it! Situated in East Melbourne, these self-contained apartments are small and basic but very clean. If you want pampering in a hotel, go for it! If you want a cheap and comfortable place to sleep and look after yourself, stay here. In the same block, you have a Convenience Store, an... More

We stayed at the George Powlett apartments in early February 2012. Our 'kitchenette' facilities were a bench and microwave and fridge that was almost cold, but the freezer didn't work. There was a layer of black grime on the floor of the shower which we had to ask be removed (it was pretty disgusting!) The air conditioning was a unit... More

We too stayed during the Aust open. Very incompetent staff, to start with we were told that they had no accomodation for us when booking.....then another family member rang to book accom and low and behold- there are rooms available! On the day of arrival the receptionist started ringing us from 8.30 in the morning wanting to know when we... More

I booked this place months in advance on Wotif, for my friend and I to stay one night during the Australian Open. The day before our stay, I received a phone call from the hotel. A very agitated lady said "I'm sorry but we had a change in management and the previous manager took all the money, so we don't... More

Stayed here with a friend for a long weekend. Plusses: It's right off Wellington Parade, with trams and rail close by. It's in close walking distance to Victoria Parade, Collingwood, Richmond Hill and the CBD. The room was okay, although it was old, and the beds weren't stellar. It was average, and if you're okay with not being in a... More

Not sparkling..didn't care...assistance from staff not an issue, as we are self reliant; everything we needed we had, or could get from someone in short order. This place puts you in a great location to shuttle to everything from the Fitzroy Gardens park to the MCG to the quick bus ride down to Flinders station, which is the hub for... More
