Birches Servied Apartments was near my sister's place when I went over to Melbourne for a short term stay. Overall, the apartment (1-bedroom) was small, especially the toilet/bathroom. I strongly suggest installing maybe some kind of exhaust fan to clear the air in the bathroom. That was my only complaint. No other major issues - regularly cleaning weekday, convenient to... More

I booked this with about three days notice to stay over the new year period. Instead of trusting the booking engines, I called Birches directly. Nothing was too much trouble and they had a room available at a good price. Location: Conveniently located off Hoddle St, and close to pretty much everything you need. Amenities: I don't know what it... More

Great location, big rooms, parking on site. As a family, we liked the big park with a fab playground one block away .. a lovely surprise in the middle of Melbourne. More

All communication beforehand was friendly and informative. Tanya greeted us like family. We stayed in the townhouse and *loved* it!! Truly a home away from home. We loathe heading home with a suitcase of dirty clothes, so really appreciated the full laundry facilities. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want or need. Location was perfect for our needs because... More

We arrived and were greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. They had our room ready and gave us plenty of helpful advice regarding the area including but not limited to the shops, transport, and dinning. The rooms are neat and tidy, the cleaner must work very hard, they do ask you if you would like to tip the cleaning... More

Although Birches is a renovated 70's style apartment block, the decor of the rooms is pleasant enough. They are, however, quite small. A "one bedroom apartment" is more of a small studio: there is a dividing wall, but no door between sleeping and living areas. A surcharge is added for extra guests sleeping on sofa beds. The sofas in our... More

I have stayed a number of times now with Birches in East Melbourne and I continue to chose them as my accommodation preference when I am travelling with my pet. The Apartments are older, but comfortable. The friendliness of the staff makes us feel welcome each time. Conveniently located on a tram line which takes you into the CBD in... More

Perfect apartments for a short or long stay in Melbourne - very close to MCG and CBD. Tram 109 takes you straight to the free City Circle route! Apartments are simple but comfortable and the place is immaculately maintained. Best of all, the staff were friendly and very helpful. We've booked our return stay already! More
