City Edge East Melbourne Apartment Hotel draws consistent praise for its low prices and handy location near the MCG, trams and the CBD, but reviews repeatedly cite serious cleanliness lapses, dated interiors and numerous maintenance problems.
Many mention hard beds or rock hard couches, very small showers, persistent cigarette smells, thin walls, and unreliable Wi-Fi or TVs. Service feedback is mixed: some staff are helpful, but after-hours access and check-in across multiple buildings can be confusing, and on-site parking is very tight and sometimes unavailable. Some apartments are spacious with basic kitchens, which can suit event-goers. Expect a no-frills base that favors location over comfort.

First issue is that there are actually 3 properties in different locations, but only one reception. This is not communicated when booking, and with car parking at a premium in the area and very tight on-site,it would have saved some rather stressful time if we knew not to bother finding a park at the reception building! Beds are the worst I’ve experienced in YEARS, and the overall condition of the room and facilities is average at best. The position though is excellent. As long as you don’t mind a bit of walking there are decent pubs and cafes within 500mt in each direction, plus the city and sports precinct are not much further. For the price, compared with anything else in the area, you get what you pay for.

We booked this location purely because it promised on site free parking, unfortunately what they fail to mention is the “carpark” is tiny, and will be overbooked. So unfortunately we had to then attempt to find other carparks (costing money and risking fines and damage) nearby. A HUGE inconvenience when you’re travelling with children and people with disabilities. Our apartment on arrival was absolutely disgusting. It was clear it hadn’t been cleaned from the last visitors. There was urine all over the WALLS and floor in the toilets, the bedding and sheets were covered in hair and not even tucked in around the mattress. It looked and smelled atrocious. After reporting this to reception, requesting they organise someone to please come and clean the room the next day, we were assured that this would happen and a cleaner would be by shortly. We went out for the day and returned to find nothing had been cleaned. So called reception again who argued that they had sent a cleaner. Eventually they sent another one who was just as appalled as we were about the lack of hygiene in the apartment - even going as far as taking photos because he was disgusted and wanted to show management how poorly kept it was. Reception was highly unapproachable, and very abrupt and rude. I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.

The room itself was good. Plenty of room in the 2 bedroom apartment. It was a cold night and even with the heaters on 30 degrees it barely did anything to heat the lounge room. And parking was a nightmare! Too many cars and not enough spaces. And so cramped that to drive in and out of the car park I literally had millimetres between my car and the two parked either side.

This hotel and building is in need of serious work. I stay in Melbourne CBD (this one is in east melbourne) 5-10 times a year and this is up there with the worst. It's an old building, which is fine, but the place smells very musty. The main bed is actually 2 single bed bases and 2 mattresses pushed together, but the bases sit at different heights, so there is a big ridge in the middle of the bed. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable. The bed is also on wheels and moves too easily. Just laying down on it the whole bed base moves. The bed moved throughout the night and the pillows go down a gap between the wall and bed (no bed head - just wall). There are portable heaters/coolers on the floor, with extension cords running across the ground. The free parking is terrific, especially in inner Melbourne, but there is a homeless person sleeping in the car park, right next to the building and based on their set up, I would guess they are there every night. Noise can be heard from the apartments around and above, and there were a couple of apartments making a lot of noise well past midnight. The kitchen has been remodeled as is the best part of the apartment, although they left the old splashback tiles. This place might be ok if it was a really good value for money option, but it isn't. Whilst its cheaper than a hotel in the CBD, you don't save enough to put up with the standard of this apartment.

Facility is a little "tired" in need of some maintenance. Door had a little movement with air in corridor. TV was logged in to a former visitor's gmail account and would only play local antennae TV programs for random amounts of time. Staff were most accommodating with late check-in. Value at discounted price paid but not good value at rack rate. Parking very tight, suitable for micro cars only if at capacity

Suited my needs but outdated interior. The bath and coffee tables were stained and the bedroom could have done with a fan or cooling. Otherwise fine bed was comfortable very convenient for going to events at Melbourne Park or MCG also very close to public transport As someone who traveled from the country l appreciated the free car parking.

The best thing about the East Melbourne City Edge Apartments is that it was within easy walking distance of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. There is an IGA Shop close by. The apartment is very basic with just a microwave to use for cooking. The second bed didn’t have a bedside table, bedside light or power point. The double couch is small but too close for comfort for two big blokes. For people just wanting to go to the AFL, cricket, tennis or a State of Origin, this place is cost effective.

Photos on the booking site are definitely not what greets you when you arrive. First room we had was filthy. Went to make a coffee and the cups were used and put back dirty, lip stick included. Utensils were used and put back in the drawer covered in grease and food. Complained to staff and got to choose a different room. Slightly cleaner but still not what is advertised. Staff were understanding and accomodated as best they could. Pictures on website need to be replaced with accurate ones

L'appartement est spacieux et les lits sont convenables. La salle de bain neuve était la seule pièce propre de l'appartement. La cuisine, le frigo, les placards, le salon, les chambres, le sol tout était sale ! Je suis allé à la réception le signaler. On m'a assuré qu'une personne allait faire le ménage dans la journée, mais rien n'a été fait. Il y avait du sang sur un matelas, je l'ai également signalé, ils ont juste changé les draps.

The room was unlivable and unsleepable for the family. While the bathroom was clean enough, the living area was dirty. The carpet and kitchen was slightly bit sticky when we walked on the surface,and as a family we felt unsafe because there were multiple windows exposed to the ground floor with no clear security features. For the price, i didn't expect it to be 5 star but we left because we couldn't stay the night. The nicely presented pictures of the hotel online did not match our experience. I sent a message to the hotel management and Expedia but neither responded to me.

An absolute disgrace. I have no words! The photos on wotif and the property’s website and nothing like it…..completely different. Our lounge room had a stained dirty single bed mattress lying in it. And some cleaning products and a dirty rag that the cleaners left. The cleaners must have left early because it was filthy.

Shower drain was blocked and quickly flooded. Overall apartment smelt of cigarette smoke and needs a refresh of paint, comfortable couches (the current one was old and not at all comfortable to sit on. No tv in main bedroom. Tv in living space was very small. Overall cleanliness and security into the building was poor (complex front door didn’t automatically close). While price wasn’t too expensive, I would try other options next time

You get what you pay for!!! It is cheap and a little bit nasty. I've never sat on more uncomfortable lounges. Maximum 3 people could fit on them yet it is a 2 bed property. I mean get some cheap comfy lounges from ikea or fantastic furniture. The bathroom had been updated, however if you are a big person you will struggle to access the shower, the opening would be no more than 60cms. The noise from apartment next door and above was very loud. Great position being able to walk 3 blocks to the tram line and a further 800 mtrs to the MCG. We booked the 2 bed apartment for 4 people and were given the free Wifi code but only 3 able to use as a maximum. Ridiculous.

Cold, old, drafty apartment with dodgy heater/aircon. Shower was extremely tiny, no room to move. The couches were small and hard like park benches. The bed was ok though. The only reason anyone would stay here is for the really close proximity to MCG.

Very cheap for the size and location. The LHS of the king bed is sunken and collapsed. The couches are rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. There was only one bowl which wasn’t adequate given it’s a two bedroom apartment. Freezing cold and only one thin blanket on each bed plus one additional blanket per person.

Otherwise fine bed was comfortable very convenient for going to events at Melbourne Park or MCG also very close to public transport As someone who traveled from the country l appreciated the free car parking.

The best thing about the East Melbourne City Edge Apartments is that it was within easy walking distance of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. There is an IGA Shop close by. The apartment is very basic with just a microwave to use for cooking. The second bed didn’t have a bedside table, bedside light or power point. The double couch is small but too close for comfort for two big blokes. For people just wanting to go to the AFL, cricket, tennis or a State of Origin, this place is cost effective.

Clean apartment, bathroom was very squished, especially the shower. But an adequate place for family to stay while in Melbourne. Close to trams and transport.

To make this simpler I have prepared a pros and cons list. For reference we stayed in the second building location. Pros:-provided basic kitchen appliances/ full sized fridge -easy to get to -receptionist was helpful Cons: (buckle up) -appliances were dirty -cutlery/crockery were dirty -dirt on the walls -broken air con -broken dining chair -bathroom sink took a long time to drain -visably stained bedsheets -provided wifi was incredibly slow/barely working Just to name a few. All I can say is you pay what you get for. But even so I wouldn't stay again.

Service
Service is mixed: some staff are friendly and helpful, but after-hours support and check-in across different buildings can be confusing, and responses to issues are inconsistent.

First issue is that there are actually 3 properties in different locations, but only one reception. This is not communicated when booking, and with car parking at a premium in the area and very tight on-site,it would have saved some rather stressful time if we knew not to bother finding a park at the reception building! Beds are the worst I’ve experienced in YEARS, and the overall condition of the room and facilities is average at best. The position though is excellent. As long as you don’t mind a bit of walking there are decent pubs and cafes within 500mt in each direction, plus the city and sports precinct are not much further. For the price, compared with anything else in the area, you get what you pay for.

The property was as expected for price & location. Check in was painful - wotif stated to pay at check in but we were phoned by the property to tell us that anything after 3pm was considered a late check in so payment had to be made over the phone. Then when we arrived to check in, our key wasn’t in the lock box as per instructions so we had to deal with a staff member, requesting details we’d already provided when booking.

Staff excellent and very helpful with misplaced swipe key. Apartments could do with some updating for example, dodgy power point in kitchen, no towel rails or even hooks in bathroom, only place to sit towels on closed toilet...unhygienic! Location is great, parking limited, very tight parking spaces. Only mirror in whole apartment small vanity mirror.

This place is not remotely like they describe it. Nothing about deluxe family room. Really run down old tired. Everything is bad. I wouldn't let my dog sleep in here. The staff were okay. No I can't say that because they weren't even there. There was no one at the desk. They just sent an email off lock box instructions

Arriving from regional vic with limited time, we expected a check-in, freshen up & to make our meeting on time. Unfortunatly, our access key didnt work, the phone number given was not attended on Sat & staying in Gibb St & having to walk back to Albert St to replace key. Not a good start.. now we could walk back to the appartment, change & make our way to our meeting, late unfortunately. The reception staff assisted us & was helpful & the property would have been more than adequate if not for a simple tech failure. A swipe key not coded correctly to give us access when we reqired it! Very pòor form! Respectfully

We booked this location purely because it promised on site free parking, unfortunately what they fail to mention is the “carpark” is tiny, and will be overbooked. So unfortunately we had to then attempt to find other carparks (costing money and risking fines and damage) nearby. A HUGE inconvenience when you’re travelling with children and people with disabilities. Our apartment on arrival was absolutely disgusting. It was clear it hadn’t been cleaned from the last visitors. There was urine all over the WALLS and floor in the toilets, the bedding and sheets were covered in hair and not even tucked in around the mattress. It looked and smelled atrocious. After reporting this to reception, requesting they organise someone to please come and clean the room the next day, we were assured that this would happen and a cleaner would be by shortly. We went out for the day and returned to find nothing had been cleaned. So called reception again who argued that they had sent a cleaner. Eventually they sent another one who was just as appalled as we were about the lack of hygiene in the apartment - even going as far as taking photos because he was disgusted and wanted to show management how poorly kept it was. Reception was highly unapproachable, and very abrupt and rude. I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.
