Great location

Great location for wandering up and down Smith St. Looks like the building is old but our apartment had a lovely renovated kitchen and bathroom. Furniture is very basic but was OK.

old and unkept

It's a very old apartment building with unkept furniture. Couch and carpets were full of stains and blankets for beds were dirty and stained. Only real clean stuff were sheets/towels. The location however was great - near parks, CBD, trams. It's a very budget hotel and could easily be more appealing with some new paint, clean showers, and new carpets.

Good location, poorly maintained

Beds were comfortable enough. Apartment was very dated. Nothing like the photos on the website. We were offered an apartment which wasn't even at the address we booked. Front door rattled and wobbled even when locked. Bath coating was peeling, bathroom tap had broken and been replaced with a bolt, toilet roll holder was hanging on by a thread

Didn’t like anything. Location might be ok but we abandoned the booking and chose to stay elsewhere There was no laundry which is why we booked when travelling as a family and the property and Wotif would not refund booking. Will be taking further to seek refund

Do NOT stay at City Edge Apartments

This is the worst place I have every stayed. We only stayed an hour and got out, it was that bad. I got other accommodation and this was so dirty and unhealthy we could of got really sick. And don't forget the bugs that started crawling all over us. When we entered the air conditioner leaked and half of the lounge room floor was wet. The kitchen stunk and had something sprayed all over the floor. The bathroom has purple stains all over the floor and the toilet had excrement on it and over it, there was toothpaste splatter all over the taps and up the walls. The place was disgusting.

Not fancy but meets basic needs.

Unit was basic, reasonably clean except for blood stains on the mattress protector under the sheet, but being a crisp white sheet it was visable through it which was a little off putting. Shower was small but great water pressure and temperature. One thing that was very impressive was how surprisingly cool the unit remained with only one a/c in main bedroom and 38 degress outside. I think with it being on ground level and all concrete walls helped. Great close location to MCG. It wasnt fancy but for the very reasonable room rate it served our purpose well to have a bed for the night and facilities to prepare our own meals while down for the cricket.
