The property's location is handy, but after checking in we were told there wasn't any working airconditioning in the rooms, or the building. Someone had supposedly tried to repair it that morning, unsuccessfully. We should have been told of this before our arrival, so we could've made other plans. It was too late to do so by the time we arrived. It was a 38C day, and the one pedestal fan in our room was next to useless. Otherwise, in general, the room was okay, although the furniture was quite dated and basic - not like in the photos. Whatever our VIP bonus was supposed to be, we certainly weren't offered it. Wouldn't stay again, as the attitude of the management when I wrote to them was very uninterested. They were not ever going to offer any compensation. I'd highly advise not staying at Urban Apartments.

Excellent Apartment Stay in the Heart of Melbourne

I am usually pretty critical when it comes to hotel stays, but I really enjoyed this overnight stay in the Melbourne CBD. I had to get the attention of staff to open the door and they are only there at certain times of the day, but they were very pleasant and helpful. The room was excellent. They admitted an issue with the central air conditioning, but they had something in place that was sufficient to deal with this. There were loads of amenities in the room, including a full kitchenette, washer/dryer combo machine, and supplies for both. They also suppplied some snacks for the stay and plenty of towels. The only issues I had were with the sink in the bathroom as it was spitting some water at me at times, a loose toilet seat (which was quickly remedied by tightening the screw underneath), and the soap rack in the shower as it was loose. The shower could do with some a minor modernizing, but it was still in great condition. It was an excellent stay in as central a location as possible within Melbourne.

Poor service and inaccessible services

Air con wasn’t working for the duration of our stay (with < 30° temperatures) and we were not told before our arrival. We were given a fan that did not work well as a substitute and offered a small refund which took 5 days to be processed. The windows were also locked so we had no ventilation. The receptionist dressed unprofessionally in a crop top and we saw her stop mid check-in to reply to a text on her mobile phone. The phone in the room was also broken so we could not contact reception.

unsatisfied stay

Was not a great stay. Only positive was the location. Air con was not working and we were not notified until we arrived. We were advised by other residents that the air con had not been working for the last two weeks. Room was extremely hot and uncomfortable for the night. We were then only offered a $40 refund which was insulting and was not enough compensation for an uncomfortable stay

This property has had a lot of issues with air conditioning not working at all over 12 months and it looks like they haven't been fixed in all that time. Didn't know about this until we arrived for check-in and it was too late to rebook with another hotel. It's also not staffed 24 hours of the day, so better not lose your key or need something in the middle of the night. The rooms were big and well equipped but the toilet and bathroom are in need of upgrade. If the air con is working, this is at best a three star hotel, but if the AC isn't fixed, I would avoid it in the height of summer.

The air conditioning in the whole hotel was broken so the rooms were very hot. Staff provided us with 2 fans and with the windows open it was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and the apartments are beautiful with a great view of the city. Loved it

The hotel called me the night before I arrived to confirm my time of arrival but did not notify me that the AC is not working!!! I had to find out only upon arrival when obviously it was too late. The room is very old and the carpets are extremly dirty and old.

Stay elsewhere! Dirty rooms and rude staff

There are only two positive aspects of this property: the friendly reception staff and the convenient location. Unfortunately, the quality of the rooms leaves much to be desired. Despite being assured of a "deep clean," my room was still unclean on a second attempt. Thick dust coated the picture frames above the bed (which I had to clean myself), and there was a gap in the bathroom between the bath and shower that had clearly been neglected for some time—alive bugs included (I cleaned this too). The carpets were littered with stuck-on gum and food, the sofas were stained, and the fridge area had not been cleaned in ages. The curtains were falling down (unfortunately, I didn’t photograph this), and the bath plug was unusable as its seal had completely disintegrated. To make matters worse, one cleaning staff member displayed unprofessional behavior, directing their stress at me as a guest. When I raised concerns, I was met with the response: "We are understaffed, so what do you want? Now or tomorrow?" This confrontational attitude was entirely inappropriate. While I understand they were facing staffing challenges, this is not something a guest should have to endure. Overall, this was a highly disappointing stay. I wouldn’t stay here again and strongly recommend spending an extra $50–$60 for a proper hotel experience elsewhere.
