Our terrible experience started the moment we entered the appartments. Bricks were falling out from around our front door which was clearly not safe and the area around the door had not been cleaned or swept for some time. On entering the room it had not been aired or cleaned properly for what appeared a long time as the room... more

As someone who usually does my due diligence and checks trip advisor before i book a place i really let me and my family down this time. whilst the linen was clean, the rest of the room and entrance way etc was very dirty. there were no face washers or tea towels, and we had 3 teabags between the three... more

Despite the poor reviews, I knew someone else who was going to be staying at George Powlett, so I decided I'd give it a shot. As numerous other reviewers have mentioned, the front desk manager/owner is incredibly rude. If you make absolutely no demands of him, you might have no difficulties. I wanted to check in early which was evidently... more

I stayed at this motel for four nights with my daughter as there was little available in Melbourne at the time due to the Australian Grand Prix. The only thing I can say in favour of this motel is the good position in a quiet area within 15 minutes walking distance from the City Center. The facilities are below standard... more

Facilities are very ordinary, kitchen is very small and cleaning facilities are below expectations. The motel is managed by owner on daily basis. We found the owner very rigid, arrogant and intolerant of other cultures & sensitivities. Cooperation is definitely not his forte. Melbourne is a lovely place and we would visit it again but we would definitely not stay... more

Stayed at George Powlett Apartments this year after a recent change in management there, everything was of as good standard for the price. They offer the most affordable and comfortable accommodation in Melbourne and East Melbourne. Good work George Powlett Apartments for providing travellers with affordable accommodation. more

Had planned to stay 7 nights but had to leave after the first due to the bed being infested with bugs. Facilities were also poorly maintained and rooms were not clean. more
