We have stayed here before, a few years ago, & found the apartments to be great value & clean. They are on a direct, frequent tram route into the city but are also still within walking distance of the shops & restaurants of Errol Street, North Melbourne. This time, however, was a different story! On the 2nd day we had... More

I booked this apartment despite the negative reviews on TripAdvisor, which unfortunately turned out to be a mistake. The traffic noise was absolutely unbearable at night time and woke us up at 5.30am. I live on a main road with tram line, but the high volume of large trucks travelling down Arden Street were unbearable. More sound-proofing is definitely required... More

If you drive a car, then there will be a problem: only 2 hourly restricted parking on the street. If you are planning to see Melbourne CBD during your stay, where do you leave your car during the day? If you not driving, I can't imagine to pick up the key from the office 2km away from the apartment walking... More

We were happy with our studio apartment. Clean, modern with a little private courtyard. Annoying that you have to pick the keys up from a different location. We booked a double room and got two single beds pushed together. :( We were in apartment 8 and the people in the room above us were constantly stomping around. It may have... More

For a group of three friends stopping over in Melbourne to watch the tennis, a stay at the British Apartments turned out to be a good choice overall and we would certainly stay there again. The pros were the price (about $70/pp/pn for 3 people staying in a 1 bed appt), the cleanliness of the apartment, the (relatively) central location... More

We got a fantastic deal on the jetstar website for this place, and it was a really good self catering option. The tram stop couldn't be closer, it takes 10 mins or so to get you bang smack in the centre of Melbourne. My only complaint would be the tiny ants that were in the bathroom and along the skirting...

We found your rooms to be lovely and clean with the added bonus of a dishwasher and washing machine. Great value!! Our only criticism was the lack of a clothes horse to hang wet clothes!

Studio apartment spacious enough for a few days. Modern kitchen and bathroom. Small outdoor area ideal for morning coffee. Walking distance to Victoria market (lovely grocery and deli shopping) and even to the city, if you're the active type. Otherwise, the tram is on the doorstep. Just be aware that the key pick up is closer to the city and... More

Stayed at Plum Nth Melbourne for 2 nights Oct 2010. Booked a studio apartment and although very small the apartment was close to the city and within walking distance to Errol Street which had a good range of restaurants and shops. There are trams available just around the corner which made getting in/out of the city very easy. The apartment... More
