Dodgy as, looks good on Internet, tv has no reception and heater/air con does not work, the parking lot is terrible, doesn't actually fit a full size car. Apartment was in very bad condition and electrical hazards. Also was charged more than the website said. Stay well away from these guys! We won't be back. More

This place was a DUMP....... we walked in and straight back out 2008. The owners/Staff rude and unhelpfully. They con you out of your hard earned cash with their internet pictures/site. The appartments look NOTHING like that, thay are damp smelly and filthy. STAY WELL AWAY.....how people get away with running these dumps and charging you for the priverlege is... More

I wish I had seen these reviews before booking online. Went for a weekend. Website looked OK and price reasonable. BUT, when we got there ... a demolition site in reception, filthy entrance hall, no lift, had to carry suitcases up to the required floor up a narrow, tortuous, dirty staircase. Enter a smelly, hot, ugly 'apartment', incredibly shabby, worse... More

This is not a holiday / business apartment. Building is 'being renovated' they told us (on arrival, not on forehand!) Renovated is not the word, it is a construction site. One night we had to climb over scaffolding to get in. Builders walking in and out the apartment and no response on complaints, no compensation. Even when they will finish... More

Let's cut to the chase. I was bitten by bed bugs. I know I was not the only guest to be so affected. Management were outstandingly rude and unhelpful. They did not address the problem and instead of giving me partial or full refunds they accused me of causing the problem. Do not stay here. Stay away! Facilities were basic... More

Pros: Good location. Close to trams. 30 mins walk to city. Quiet, safe neighbourhood. Restaurants and cafes nearby. Apartment clean, bright and cheerful. Cons: Entrance and stairwell filthy with the ambience of a slum (in contrast to the apartment itself). The building exterior not much better. Long, narrow driveway, hazardous for vehicles. No matches for the gas stove nor washing... More

I stayed at 200 Toorak Road which was leasted by Aston Apartments of Powell Street. I have to say that I am glad I paid the additional money reading the other reviews! We had a 2 bedroom apartment which seemed new, freah, light and very safe and secure. The location was very convenient, just across from south Yarra Station and... More

We had stayed at Aston Apartments last year - post renovations (internal only). On that occasion it wasn't bad, though the bed was too low and too soft & you slid off if you tried to sit on it. Parking was awkward & the dishwasher wasn't even connected. This time, we stayed in a different apartment in a different block... More

This was the rankest place i have ever stayed in! We asked for a non-smoking room and when we arrived at the room we were nearly blown away by the smoke, the beds were sunk in, curtains were falling down. So we told them that we had booked a non-smoking room and they relocated us to another room. This room... More

I stayed at this venue 5 years ago and it was reasonable. What a difference 5 years make, in that time I don't think ANYTHING has been changed or upgraded. Upon arrival, kettle not working, no tea cups or mugs, (reception did bring a new kettle and gave me 2 tea cups when I approached them). The heater was not... More
