Overall everything was fine but a couple of things need attention. The toaster wouldn't stay down, there was no tea towel in the kitchen and the hot water ran out really quickly.

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. The room was dirty, the heater didn’t work, the TV remote had no batteries, and many things were broken. It was also very noisy. On top of that, the receptionist was rude, unhelpful, and showed no interest in resolving my concerns. Overall, the place was poorly maintained, and I would not recommend it.

Is a little dated but quite serviceable. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The folding shower screen seems to swing inwards though and needed something jammed under it to stay in the closed position so it didn't touch my back while showering

Location and cost were very good. Quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to shops in Richmond, the MCG and public transport. Apartment was a good size and bed comfortable. Negatives were the very dated and uncomfortable couch, dirty window ledge in the bathroom (covered in loose dirt) limited toiletries. Overall I would stay again as the location is great.

Was a great location. Easy check-in and friendly staff. But you can hear EVERYTHING from neighbours all around. There was a mother and daughter fighting for over 30 minutes. A baby screaming throughout the night. Parking was great the first night but upon return the second night, it was quite full so had to squish in the corner. Lots of rubbish out in the carpark area.

When we first checked in we were taken to a room that was quite derelict. No covers on bases, cracked toilets, very tired. In their defence the manager did then move us to a new room however I have a daughter who is quite stressed about cleanliness and upon reading other reviews ascertained there had been bedbugs etc so we ended up dropping off keys and coming home. I am very aware that it is very much a budget price, however cleanliness doesn't always cost a lot.

Turned up to check in to find out we weren’t staying at the address booked. Had to drive around the corner to the apartment. The rooms looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months. Shower was filthy with soap scum and every where, toilet was dirty, every door had dirty fingerprints all over them. The fridge door handle was disgustingly dirty. End of bed had all hair where they had the rubber. Sheets were clean but beds weren’t comfortable. Thankfully we got this at a very cheap price after searching different websites. I’m glad we didn’t pay what some sites were asking! Would I stay here again? NO

The room was not clean, there was mould in the shower. It was advertised with aircon. There was no aircon in the main area and the only air-conditioning was in 1 bedroom which didnt work and only curculated hot air. It was over 40 degrees that weekend and made for a very uncomfortable stay. The fridge worked sparodically and continuously stopped. The bedding on the single beds was still wrapped in plastic which was also uncomfortable and annoying. When issues were reported to reception we were given a pretty much not my problem attitude.

Pros: 30 min walk to Melbourne park. Free parking. Cons: outdated, dirty, super dirty. the only AC unit is the apartment was leaking water all over the place. I did notify the front desk but no one was sent to address the issue. The apartment definitely needs to be deeply cleaned and repainted. The furniture need to be replaced(stains wear apparent). I should say that as far as the towels and bed sheets are concerned they seem to be clean.

Do not stay at the Treasury site, not as depicted in photo advertisements. They advertise it to be so much nicer than it actually is. Believe the bad reviews! Although a central location, it was not clean. Dust, hair in bathroom, mould in shower, stunk of disinfectant on arrival, no where to put clothes in bathroom ready for after a shower, did not even have a toilet seat lid. The bathroom sink was painted and bubbling and peeling with paint. The shower wasn’t good. It wasn’t an enjoyable stay for us. Management in reception didn’t care about the state of the room when issues were raised. Gross. Don’t go there!
