What guests think

Across many reviews, Brady Apartment Hotel Flinders Street is praised for its central location near Southern Cross and free trams, spacious apartment-style rooms with kitchens and laundry, and consistently friendly staff supporting both short stays and longer visits.

A recurring complaint is train and tram noise, especially in rooms facing Flinders Street; some guests also report weak hot water pressure, occasional maintenance issues, and inconsistent housekeeping or balcony cleanliness. Guests value the pool, spa, sauna and gym when available, but there are repeated reports of closures, cold water, and broken tiles. Overall, expect a practical city base with in-room kitchens and laundry, balanced by urban noise and variable maintenance.

Good value apartment complex centrally located between Southbank, CBD and Docklands within walking distance of Southern Cross station and Skybus link. Noisy area due to location but great if no vehicle. Good after hours food options nearby. Pool and spa unavailable and not known until arrival so check direct if a desired feature. Gym was still available but construction access affected.

Staff helpful, lift fast. Not plush, but comfortable enough and a really practical option for a family given the good location, second bedroom with twin beds in some rooms, washing machine, kitchen etc. Swimming pool useable for laps, hot tub basic but better than nothing, sauna decent.

1 BR apt was nice, big enough! Helpful and polite staff at check-in and throughout stay - advised the room overlooking the alley would be quieter! This may be true, however was still quite loud from around 3 am and on, with bin trucks/trains etc and other things happening - part of staying in the 'big smoke' I guess :). Kitchen was functional, just needed a few more utensils - staff couldn't source a spatula but found us an oven tray (a dirty one), so thanks. The simple things are needed for a long term stay when cooking at home, so a few more additions would be useful. Bathroom good, shower warm and good pressure. Spa nice, however tiles need to be fixed - I wasn't fussed that it looked degraded but sharp edges from broken/missing tiles need to be fixed. My son scratched his back and another lad cut his foot. Close to transport and lots of food places, short walk to a Coles and Woolies. Anyway, overall a good stay in a good location, loved visiting Melbs after a long time away

The staff at check-in was helpful and at all other times listened carefully to our requests. The entrance to the hotel is quite inviting and functional. The room was really clean and had all the cooking and washing facilities needed. I enjoyed using the pool for laps and the pool area was quite clean. The gym looked quite spacious and functional though I did not use it. The only other comment is that the railway noise was quite obtrusive into the room. I would recommend double glazing especially to our room on the southern side of the building.

Kitchen not fully equipped for cooking. No baking tray. Pool was very cold - too cold for a toddler (despite it being indoor). Having said that, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the apartment otherwise had everything required for a short stay. It’s just an older apartment/building.

The property is in a great location, close to transport, activities and grocery shops. The staff were excellent, professional, friendly and responded to requests quickly. However, some aspects of maintenance were very poor. There was no toilet brush, we had to request another bath plug because it was old and leaking. We didnt get a bath mat or face washers and had to request them. The iron didnt work, we were given another one. The ironing board was broken, my partner fixed it. When we turned iron on, it worked for 5 minutes and then the circuit breaker switched power off. This happened every time we had to iron something. One light in the bedroom was faulty and fluttering on and off very quickly. The swimming pool is in a bad way. Many tiles have come off and it would be easy to receive a cut from the edges. Despite these issues, it was a nice place, convenient, great staff, comfortable bed, great facility of kitchenette and laundry.

I stayed here for 4 nights with work. The one bedroom apartment was a great size and very comfortable. The bed was also comfortable. My main reason for giving 4 stars and not 5 was how incredibly noisy it was at night. The street noise was so bad I had to sleep with ear plugs in and even then it was super noisy still. The windows need double glazing. The other small reasons for losing a star were that the phone didn’t work so I couldn’t get wake up calls, some of the lights were a bit dodgy and there were too few hangers for a 5 day work trip. Also the location isn’t ideal for main cbd access so I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

The staff are friendly and welcoming with easy check in, the lobby is warming with the fireplace. tram stop out front, 5 mins to CBD. Eateries and grocery shops close. The room was worth the price, very well appointed with all the kitchen appliances and utensils, dishwasher, washing and drying machines. the beds were comfy and the black out curtains welcomed. The stars lost to; The trains would vibrate the room and you could hear the rumble. The shower had no pressure and would reduce to a dripping tap As with most properties, you need to request a sink plug. I enjoyed my stay here.

This property would get a better rating if the issues with the hot water had been fixed in a timely manner. Basically no hot water for 4 of the 6 nights. External noise from the trains across the street is considerable so if a light sleeper, avoid this property. room is generally comfortable (disregarding the hot water issue) and spacious.

The staff was nice. The hotel lobby is nice, but the rest of the facilities need a bit of a facelift. The pool area is nowhere nice as the photos. The drainage in my room’s bathroom seemed to be backed up in the shower and the sink which led to little tiny gnats near the drains. Also, at check-in no one was at the desk and I called the phone number on the sign at the desk and it did not work. Reception should have the number exactly as it needs to be dialed for international travelers. Finally, when I was able to check-in the reception worker informed me that a man had just walked into the lobby and had a seat on the couches and that he was homeless so she would need to ask him to leave. This didn’t make me feel safe or secure in the hotel and this was immediately upon my arrival.

Renee at reception was lovely However a company policy to charge $50 for an early check in is offensive. I didn’t need the room early as I had appointments all day. But the principal of charging additional for a room that may or may not be already available certainly does not add value to the customer experience. For reference when I did check in after 9pm there was a 15min wait as a group turned up.

During our stay, there was a water pipe that has burst. My partner and I made it back to our room, which had water all through the bathroom. as soon as we mentioned something at reception, it took them no longer than 10 to 15 minutes to get us sorted into another room. We know that the water pipe bursting was not the hotels fault but they got everything sorted nice and quickly for us so we had a comfortable stay!

Highly convenient between Southern Cross and Flinders Street with tram stops at the door, and easy walks to Crown, Southbank, MCEC, Marvel Stadium and CBD sights. Some note the immediate area feels a bit gritty and that proximity to rail brings noise.

Matt at the front desk was amazing! There was some noise from outside, mainly the sound of passing trains. The hotel is very close to transport, Southbank, Skybus, coffee shops and has easy access to all places of interest. The only downside is the area around the hotel is a bit dirty and there are quite a few homeless people but we never felt unsafe in any way. Based on our experience we would definitely recommend staying here.

This apartment hotel is right on Flinders street less than 0.5 km from the Southern Cross station. There are quite a few restaurants and shops closeby. The river is also closeby which has a beautiful walking / running trail as well as excellent choices of restaurants. They have a washer / drier in the room and they have a good collection of kitchenette as well. I did a late check-in and the staff at the reception were very helpful. The tram station is right outside the hotels, so commuting around the city is pretty convenient. Flinders street station is also less than a km away.

Tram stop out front to take you to the MCG Marvel Stadium short walk up the hill next to the SC station. I recommend a train back to SC station after games unless you enjoy a walk. Great little Japanese restaurant just across the road. Every stay has been great value for money.

Great choice for a Melbourne CBD Hotel within Free Tram Zone. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Has convenience stores and bottle shop within 100m. Nearby coffee and breakfast options on Flinders Lane, and they are delicious and reasonably priced. Two Tram stops are convenient as well and easy access to Train stations. Downside is that it’s in a noisy, business precinct (elevated trains nearby) and a little filthy on street/lanes as compared to more Easterly CBD areas. The price is right, however, and for a traveller on multi week trip, in room laundry and kitchenette is fantastic. Don’t waste any upgrades for balcony; you won’t find yourself using it due to precinct and office tower shadow.

Property is close proximity to Southern Cross railway station which is ideal for regional travellers. Tram stop right out the front. Casino across the river with dining options. Breakfast options were very limited unless you are willing to walk some distance. Despite the Metro trains being outside, the room was very quiet and very spacious. Pillows are always an issue, but you make do with what's supplied.
