Knightsbridge Apartments

“Quiet and in a great location, if a little underwhelming”

First of all, the location is very agreeable. George St is quiet, tree-lined, and a short, pleasant walk to the nearby Fitzroy Gardens, and not far from a 7-11 supermarket and most of Melbourne's attractions. This is why I chose Knightsbridge Apartments. As for my room, it wasn't quite as desirabl… more

First of all, the location is very agreeable. George St is quiet, tree-lined, and a short, pleasant walk to the nearby Fitzroy Gardens, and not far from a 7-11 supermarket and most of Melbourne's attractions. This is why I chose Knightsbridge Apartments. As for my room, it wasn't quite as desirable as I had expected from Booking.com but it certainly wasn't bad either. My view was just a brick wall, and yes, some of the paint on the walls, the bathroom window, a few other minor things were a bit shabby, but that didn't really affect my 8-night stay there. The hotel was generally pretty quiet at night (apart from the birds outside), the aircon seemed a bit dry and not really changeable, but the wifi worked adequately for my needs, the telly worked fine (albeit not many channels), the bed, chairs, tables were all comfortable enough. The vending machine in the foyer was useful (and surprisingly quite cheap), and the staff were all polite enough. I had just arrived from the other side of the world, with very little sleep and was glad of only 1 short flight of stairs to my room. It's not a glitzy hotel by any means, it's not even spotlessly clean and decorated, but it's quiet, with adequate facilities and in a great location which meant more to me. I'd give it 3.75/5

“Reasonable 3 star accomodation in a 5 star location”

They are serviceable but very tired. Location is A1 with good access to the city, MCG, and public trap generally. Forget bringing a car as there are only about 5 spaces to be shared amongst 30 odd apartments

“very disappointing, old, small and in need of updating.”

This is an old building that needs to be renovated and make the rooms bigger. The bathroom was tiny with a shower over 3/4 bath. The entrance to hotel needs to have yellow tape on steps for safety. parking was on adjacent property.

“Well located but needs some TLC”

Booked it based on reviews elsewhere and its locality close to medical services we were attending. The booking site certainly offered a better view than what is in reality. There is no lift as already mentioned so be ready to lift your baggage upstairs. It is well located for trams, MCG and medical… more

Booked it based on reviews elsewhere and its locality close to medical services we were attending. The booking site certainly offered a better view than what is in reality. There is no lift as already mentioned so be ready to lift your baggage upstairs. It is well located for trams, MCG and medical specialists. Parking is very limited, first come best dressed, they do make you aware of that. The room was dated, the carpets need replacement and the place needs some paint and love to bring it back up to the three star standard claimed. Overall well positioned, we travel with our own pillows which helps make most beds comfortable but the rooms and hallways need some care.
