Parkville Place Serviced Apartments

Good

Pretty rough hotel. Cheap but rough

It was ok but the property overall needs a refurbishment. Quite cheap so we don’t expect 5 star but 3 star is a push. Our hotel was cancelled so needed something last minute and we found this. Cooking facilities aren’t great and an old air con unit. It was ok and as expected for the price

Very nice and clean place!! Owners WILLIAM and LINA VERY FRIENDLY and FELPFUL!! WELL DONE!

What shall I say about Parkville?? I chose it because the location was near my friends house. It was as clean as they could get it... considering that the building hasn't been updated since the '60’s. Everything needs paint. The front desk staff was friendly and when we asked for towels, etc they were accommodating. The front door is key card access only after 8pm. The kitchen was minimally equipped.. but if we had wanted something else... they probably would have provided it. Overall ok... just don't expect anything fancy.

Comfortably made the top 3 worst places I have ever stayed, primarily due to the overwhelming and constant stench of cigarette smoke. Absolutely no way this constituted a 3* hotel. Had to have the door open constantly in order to breathe, but felt unsafe even on 1st floor due to the area immediately surrounding the hotel. The reception staff were friendly and the proximity to Brunswick is good, linen was clean but very much let down by the smoke and general tired and grubbiness of the hard surfaces and carpet.

In window air con noisy but affective. Bed comfy and sheets crispy fresh clean. Property needs tlc but was clean. Appreciated the lux toilet paper. Limited parking on site was concerned about new car being on the street over night. Property condition was in line with price paid. Would stay again.

Asked for financial information & ID however the information is stored in a box on managers desk & does not have a privacy policy & does not store the information with mandatory requirements. Room we were allocated had a very strong smell of marijuana & cigarettes. Spoke to owner & was told to live with it. Walls required maintenance & painting. Door jam at bathroom was rotted out. States it is a services apartment however was only serviced 1 day out of 5. Building is insecure as tenants wedge fire escape doors open. Consistent loud flowing water / toilet flushing noise 24 hours per day from rooms on upper levels. Tenants fighting & arguing outside your room in the hall wall at all hours of the night. Owners live on grounds & do nothing about the noise or complaints. Rooms need a professional deep clean as the owners do a spot clean (if your lucky) shower head fixture in bathroom was loose & had to wedge a shampoo bottle against the wall & shower head to be able to shower. Outside courtyard to the room was full of lots cigarettes butts on the ground. Rodents casually moving around in the courtyard. Bed mattress & pillows are extremely firm making sleeping difficult. The lounge in room was also extremely uncomfortable. TV is antiquated & does not all viewing of HD channels. Carpet is well outdated & felt sticky. Unsecured, filthy, uncomfortable, noisy, smelly, did not feel safe. Could not wait to leave. Owners would not offer money back or refund money if left early.

Clean tidy and friendly service

Property is situated in a great location. Not a lot of parking so helps to get the early to get off street parking on the property. Place is a little dated. No fly screen on open window when we arrived. But if you need somewhere simple just to rest it’s great.

Showing it's age and could do with new carpets and a coat of paint but good value for money. Had everything I needed and service from staff was excellent.

It was great for the price and location

Unfortunately when I entered the room I removed my shoes I found the carpet to be still sodden after a recent clean.

I liked the room

Moved out after first night as old and rundown. No refund available for rest of stay.

Stove was dirty when we arrived and I cleaned it. You could only get out one side of the qs bed. Could have been altered to allow both people to get out each side. hallway carpets are filthy and I had a bug bite me in the bed. Bathroom too snug for larger person. Location fine, communication fine. Stayed there as we needed last minute accommodation prior to surgery. close to Lygon st which was great.

Unprofessional unhygienic very filthy dirty disgusting of communication from the property managers the male and female very rude Disrespectful violent threats Felt unsafe felt there were germs crawling on my skin Box blood marks and urine

Clean and good hot water beds where very comfortable

Room was tidy but not clean. The toilet had hair over the top. Room was dusty and quite small. My son was up most the night coughing as he suffers with Asthma. Hubby and I were clogged up we needed to take Hayfever medication. The owner was lovely. Definitely couldn’t stay longer than 1 night.

Location fitted us well. 5 mins walk to Sydney Rd & tram. Receptionists friendly,bed comfy showe hot. Studio room with small table / chairs. Warm plus had balcony. Value for money during AFL finals weekend. Would stay again.
