“Modern spacious rooms with terrific views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

I spent a Saturday evening at the apartment @ docklands with some good friends and I really enjoyed my stay there. All rooms were clean, modern and fresh. For those who prefer to cook and eat in, the kitchen area had enough space and utensils for you to cook up a storm. If you don’t want to eat in there are plenty of fabulous (good fish n chips) restaurants right at the door step for you to choose from too. I have to add that I was in awe of the decking area out the back which lead on to a huge in ground pool which had pretty special views of Melbourne CBD. Being July I can’t say I tested it out, but I certainly wanted to. The service I got from the staff was friendly and pleasant.

“These guys have no idea”

On check in they we asked for a late check out time and this was approved. So we hit the town the night before as we knew we could sleep in. How ever on the morning of checkout they decided that they want us out early so they unlocked the door to our apartment and came in yell and knocking on door to wake us up. We kicked the girl out but an hour later the cleaner did the same thing. They absolutely had no regard for our privacy.

As a business traveler who travels almost weekly I have never had this happen before. This was absolutely outrageous and I would strongly recommend no one stay here.

“absolutely fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

A few of us stayed in a two bedroom apartment. Ours led directly to the pool and gave us after access also. The room was immaculate and it was so easy to find and get there by public transport! Close to bars and cafes what more could you ask for?!?!

I definately recommend this place! I have absolutely nothing to complain about

“Great modern Apartments, close to everything, great views!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

Stayed at the Apartments@Docklands a few weeks ago, although it was the middle of winter, the area was still pretty lively, there are a lot of restaurants and nightclub venues locally.

Stayed in a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment, and loved it! Great views looking out partly over the water, and the furnishings were modern and the place was clean and inviting. If you check out the apartment photos, the apartments pretty much resemble exactly what's shown.

Can't fault it - if you're looking for somewhere in a convenient location, this is worth a visit. Not as small as a hotel room and with all the extras, definately worth checking out, I stayed with a few friends, but would recommend it whether you're with friends, family or a partner.

“Dance Music at Midnight, road noise and very hard beds!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010

people found this review helpful

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment in the Condor building for 2 nights over Easter 2010.
The apartment itself was quite nice in layout and appointments etc. The first problem we had with apartment 311 was that it overlooked a very busy...think trams till 2am and hoons in cars all night.....4 or 6 lane road. This would probably be OK if the floor to ceiling glass windows were double glazed, but unfortunately they are not. Night one provided a pretty poor sleep due to the level of street noise. Night two was even worse because on top of the level of street noise some inconsiderate person/s in the block started playing the worst kind of "doof doof" dance music at high volume commencing at 12.15am until the wee small hours of the morning.
So unless you can secure an apartment on the other side of the block, or can sleep on a median strip or in a busy nightclub, don`t bother.
Docklands itself has quite a few eateries and lots of shops etc.....but is lacking in any soul.....you could be anywhere!! It`s kind of like a big carpark in character.
