What guests think

At Comfort Apartments Royal Gardens, travellers highlight a convenient Fitzroy location near trams, the CBD and hospitals, in a quiet garden setting with spacious, apartment-style units featuring kitchens and laundry that work well for good-value stays.

Many guests praise friendly, helpful staff. Common negatives are dated decor and occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues, including worn furnishings, dusty or mouldy spots, and shower-over-bath setups some found slippery. Facilities draw mixed notes: a small pool and on-site parking, but there’s no lift and a few reports of noise from the surrounding area. Expect roomy, well-located, older-style apartments with personable service.

The room was spacious and clean if a little dated. The king bed was two beds pushed together and very short! Gardens and pool were lovely but visited reception twice and both times it was shut (when it was meant to be open) so I couldn't get a towel.

Good value for money. Close to St Vincent’s hospital, dining, culture, gardens, etc. Has a lovely little garden with a pool alongside and barbecues, as well as seats dotted around. Safe parking. Room 23 was a good size, with separate laundry, bathroom (it has bath/shower combo), dining-room, Lounge area, kitchen and separate bedroom Comfortable bed with lovely crisp sheets, plus a balcony with two chairs. Everything neat and tidy with sufficient amenities for cooking. Would have loved a plunger so I could have the ground coffee I brought from home. Easy walk to trams, Museum and the city.

Our room was great and had a gate to access without having to go into main buildings. Loved this. This was also handy as our keys would not work to get into main building doors. We did swap them but new set would not open doors either accept for room door. Occasionally we could get in some side access gates. Other times we just walked around and past reception. Lots of needles on ground in back alley car park so moved car day 1 to near reception and only parked there . Lots of noise early mornings and late night from back alley way which is where the needles were. That being said the rooms and facilities were great. Staff lovely and great location to city and theatres. Would stay again.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment facing the road. Apartment was quite stuffy. The windows needed to be left open but when the windows were open there was a lot of noise up from the street. Considering the street is dead and straight and goes nowhere it’s still appears to be a lot of people walking along the street making their conversations as they walk. On arrival the bedside lamp didn’t work and had no quote in it at all. There was dust on the TV unit and mould in the shower upside the apartment has a washing machine and dryer air conditioning in both the living areas and bedroom. Apartment is only a short walk to the free tram zone where you can travel around the city. Also just a short walk to restaurants cafes in the Italian quarter at Lygon Street and the Melbourne Museum and exhibition Centre is less than a two minute walk.

These apartments are a welcome surprise hidden in the laneways of Fitzroy. Constructed around a well maintained and spacious courtyard and pool gives it a pleasant feel. The apartment was very clean and tidy and more than big enough for two people and even better for me as I was on my own. It was also very well fitted out for anyone who wanted to be self contained with meals and cooking. After reading reports from some of the other accomodation in the area, I am very glad I picked this one.

Room needed a little love, it needed someone to come through and fix a few things ie the tv had fallen off the wall and was sitting on a table, the toilet seat needed replacing. The room felt a bit generic and boring. Don't get me wrong everything was fine/good

The location was fantastic. Price is good but you get what you pay for. The apartment we were in was large and had 2 bathrooms etc. But the curtains in each room were ripped and spots where the aircon used to be were left unpainted. Small touches and maintaining the property would make it seem more like a hotel, but felt a bit back packer style. Easy fixes.

Its in a pretty good location. However, they advertise parking included and then try to charge you $20 when checking in. Its street parking. The wifi doesn't work in the bedrooms. Check in hours are limited and we were told we would be given info on how to check in after 5pm. This didn't happen. We had to ring the duty manager who was helpful.

No consideration given to the fact that I had to cancel due to a life threatening medical condition threatening my partner. Her brain tumor operation was brought forward by her neurosurgeon, however hotel management decided to stick by the no-refund cancellation policy. Not to matter that we already paid out many thousands in hospital and specialist bills, this hotel management wanted their couple hundred regardless.

The location is great, and we were able to walk around the city; we didn't even need a car or a tram. There's a tram station close by if you don't want to walk so much. The apt is not new, so don’t expect a renovated walk-in shower. Actually, the bathtub was a bit slippery, so be careful if you travel with kids or elders. There aren't a lot of kitchen appliances or supplies, but we got by with what we found there. Also, the laundry was really helpful. Considering the price of accommodations in the city, it was ok, the only thing that really bothered us was the shower/ slippery bathtub.
