Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We were in Melb for the Australian Open and I was looking for hotels near a particular tram stop in the CBD area that had free transport to the Rod Laver Arena. While there are quite a few hotels around, I chose Waterfront Apartments based on the positive reviews I had read. And I was not disappointed! Large living space, full kitchen, bathroom with bathtub, washer and dryer and depending on which apartment you are given, you get a nice view - I had requested for one facing the waterfront, and was lucky to get one.
We spent 5 comfortable nights here. Just across us was the shops and restaurants of the Waterfront, so plenty of options. This is also in Melb's Free Tram Zone so you don't have to purchase a Myki card for public transport if you're just going around the central area and the free tram area coverage is large enough.
There is access to a pool and sauna for guests but we didn't use them. All in, a good stay!

3 bedroom 2 bathroom with great river views. The reception were so accomodating and we were able to check in early - I’m sure that’s not always possible. It is an excellent spot near lots of eateries and the Southbank DFO as well as a small convenience store just 5 min walk over the bridge. The lap pool,spa and sauna were used each day and they also have a gym and steam room.It is the last stop for the free tram just a short walk from the apartment. We had no noise issues at all. We come regularly to Melbourne and normally stay in the inner city but I think we will always come back here.

The apartment location was great. Right across from DFO, short tram trip to Southbank. Everything was really accessible without being in the noise of the city. We couldn’t believe how quiet the apartment building was. We were on level 4. Unfortunately our view was of a car park but apart from that the apartment was clean, modern and had all amenities. We will book here again.

While the apartment was clean and spacious, the bathroom and rooms were equipped in a very essential way. But the most disappointing thing was the NOISE you could hear from the street, especially from 6am EVERY DAY for the waste collection. The windows are single glazed, poorly performing from an acoustic perspective and sleeping, if your room is from the 2nd to the 6th floor at least, is a luxury

Hi Thanks for your review. We understand the street side apartments are noisier than the river side apartments because of the traffic and eventually rubbish collector. Apartments have double glazed windows, and it blocks a lot of the external noise. We had comments and reviews from other guests of how quiet the apartments are provided the location. We are sorry to hear that we haven't met your expectations. We could welcome you next time to a river side with a return guest discount so you can enjoy the city attractions and the quietness of the apartments on the river side. Regards Management

We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the 11th floor. The apartment was spacious and light. The apartment was clean and well presented. Our apartment had a balcony with a view across the Yarra to the Casino and Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The complex is partially residential and very quiet unlike some other apartment complexes. The location is perfect for access to Docklands, the DFO and the Casino. There is a tram station a short stroll around the corner and there is a car park on site. It is a simple Uber pick up point. Even though the train line is close, we didn’t hear any train noise as the building is blocked on the back side by other buildings. We checked in after hours with a simple drop box system and check out was easy. We left our bags at the main office next door with no issues. Not a cheap apartment but good value for the location and we understand there are excellent long stay rates for longer holidays. Overall, we loved it and would stay again.

Waterfront apartments is in a great location with easy access to all sorts of dining venues and trams. The apartment was clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a minor issue on our first couple of days but the property manager, Carol, was more than happy to assist. The bed was great, the view over the Yarra River was fantastic to wake up to each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book at this location again in the future.

We had just the most extraordinary visit to Melbourne these past couple of days. Having spent much time there over the years, even living there for some years long ago, I have never experienced the Melbourne I found while staying at the Waterfront Apartments. Walking into our room and seeing the Yarra river immediately outside our window was an absolute delight....and then having it there, right on our doorstep as we ventured out, a thousand times better. The location of this property is astounding. Immediately opposite the Conference Center where we had plans for one of our days, and central to so many fabulous cafes and eateries. So easy to walk out and be part of the calm side of Melbourne, watching the crews rowing past, little hired boats full of happy people, even a genuine Venetian gondala!! We spent the day riding our bikes along the river, fully taking in the delights of Melbourne as I've never experienced it before. And our hosts were friendly, informative and so very helpful. The double glazing made for a quiet room, even on the Friday night when there were lots of people about outside. A wonderful stay - I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Just book it. You will be delighted in your choice!! Many thanks team....cheers, Di and Stuart

Located on the docks, a close walk to the Convention Centre and the Crowne complex. Plenty of eating places nearby and not far from the Docklands area. An uneasy start with no television reception and iron missing from the room. Quick service from the managers saw a replacement iron and an apology on the TV as the antenna was being worked on. Next day - all good. The room was spacious and clean with two bedrooms and good kitchen facilities. Rooms aren't serviced every day which is fine by me. Good service all round.

I can't thank Camila enough for all her help with booking and re-booking due to COVID. She was amazing to deal with over the phone and even more pleasant in person. The customer service is the best I have received, more so than some so called 5 star hotels.
The apartments were clean, tidy and well stocked. The location is excellent with restaurants & cafes within easy walking distance. Casino and shops also just a stroll away.

I am not certain about new years eve as it woupd depend on the right apartment. They have different views. Best to book in eaely and ask Carol for an apartment with the best view.
There a plenty of great restaurants just walking distance. You can cross the bridge and go to a dozen or so excellent restaurants. The CBD is also walking distance. Remember, the trams are free if you want to travel a little further.
Hi Pearsgm.
There are a couple of public transportation nearby. One is the tram, there 3 tram stops around our area. We are part of the free tram zone so as long as guest stay within this zone a myki card is not required. Trams 96, 109, 12, 75, 70, 30 (city circle tram) all pass by our area. Train station is also nearby which is 7 minutes walks and that would be the Southern Cross train station.
There are more places to choose from in the Melbourne area.
