First of all, the reviews on here are pretty much all spot on based on what I experienced staying at 43 Caroline St. But, to be honest, when you pay less than $100 a night for somewhere in South Yarra, luxury isn't on the cards. 43 Caroline is based in an actual apartment block where people pay rent to live...

I wish I had read the Tripadvisor reviews before staying here as they are totally accurate. Horrible 1 bedroom apartment with filthy venetian blinds and awful bathroom. Rotting wooden window frames, black with mould. Bedside light didn't work and on pulling out the bed to see why found a faulty Kambrook extension plug thing with exposed wires. How they have... More

There's nothing good about this place. Dirty, smelly, tired, uncomfortable and totally lacking in privacy. Listed as "executive" accommodation we walked in and were instantly depressed by how shabby and poorly furnished it was. On opening the dirty curtains and seeing a block of apartments opposite staring straight into the full space we just wanted to get out immediately. Just... More

When I arrived from the airport, I noticed a peculiar smell on the stairs as I approached my apartment on the top floor. It smelt like strong, sweet talcum powder trying to cover up something very unpleasant. The apartment was functional but the bathroom was mouldy and very grubby. The bed was clean and there were a couple of free... More

Got a cheap rate for a "4 star" apartment at 43 Caroline St but was wary because you do tend to get what you pay for. First impressions driving in to the car park confirmed not to expect much. The thing is though, while most of us can put up with a few problems, there were so many issues with... More

Like a previous reviewer we also found that the unit could do with a good scrub. The window blinds and windowsills were black with dirt and the windows themselves needed a good clean. Other than that the benches, bathroom, etc were OK. The light above the bedroom mirror wasn't working nor was the power point so not only did I... More

We stayed here for four nights and were a little disappointed given the pictures we'd seen on the website. It didn't quite match the pictures we'd seen and the whole place could do with having a good spring clean. The carpets didn't seem to have been hoovered for a while and certain things were a bit dusty. We also found... More
