Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was very dirty, and even though daily laundry for towels was an option as long as towels were placed in the shower, this was not done. It was also difficult to communicate with front desk since they close by 8:30 pm. There were also too many rules involved with staying at the place, and for what it is, it's not worth it. (example: dishes must be washed ourselves, so I don't think staff are cleaning the area appropriately after we checkout). The area that the property is also not a nice area.... I would recommend staying somewhere else to get a better experience in Melbourne.

The apartments are old, shabby, dirty and smelt stale and mouldy. All the carpets need to be replaced and burnt. Strongly recommend that if you are using any of the kitchen utensils or equipment, wash thoroughly first.

Not really sure why people are rating this with 8's and 9's as it's simply not the case. It is however a very cheap "serviced" apartment in Brunswick so you have to remember you get what you pay for. Staff were nice but the building and room was dated, tired and smelly. Air Con looked like it survived ww2, very noisy and not particularly effective. There is a door around the side of the building which is chocked open day and night allowing absolutely all of Brunswicks riff raff to come and go as they please. This leads to security concerns, noisy and messy hallways, randos knocking on your door, drug problems etc. If you want cheap look no further but if you've got options I think you can do better. Rated 3 overall because of the price but it's probably more of a 2. Wouldn't stay again.

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

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.
