Stayed in the Highlander annex for 3 nights and did not have high expectations after reading previous reviews. Was pleasantly surprised. The apartment seemed to have been recently refurbished and, whilst not 5 star, the standard was above what I would have expected for what was paid. Location was good - walking distance to shops, convention centre & stations and... more

As we were visiting Melbourne to go to the football at Telstra Dome, do a bit of shopping and have an evening of entertainment at the Crown Casino we were looking for a two bedroom apartment that was located to all of our planned activities and the Riverside Apartments fitted the bill. The apartment we had was on the 17th... more

Stayed in March 2008 and quite frankly couldn't wait to leave. The apartment was dirty and not what we expected for the money. Very noisy at night, right next to nightclub heaven which was no good when with a family and the windows would not shut to blank out the music. Reception staff were unhelpful and seemed to know little... more

Being in and out of Melbourne over a 3-week period and staying at a number of properties, I booked what I assumed was the Riverside Apartments direct on the hotel website. Upon arrival I was given a room in the Highlander Apartments located around the corner, my fault...i did not check what property I had booked. I spent less than... more

4 of us stayed here last night for a girls weekend, we had a 2 room apartment facing the Rialto tower. Huge apartment, huge balcony. Good kitchen. Beds comfy and good sheets. Only thing i could say i didn't like was the shower over the bath, though they did have a handle on the wall for support. Very clean, check... more

Great location. We are regular guests at this property and love the spacious rooms and great location. Rooms face out over the river and you can watch the flames in front of the Casino at night. Rooms have a full kitchen, laundry and are ideal for a family. Only problem is parking (they charge around $20.00 per night). I thought... more

Our friends were over from the UK and asked us to find an apartment in the Melbourne CBD where they could stay for 3 nights, We booked them onto Riverside Apartments as it sounded like the 2 bedroom apartment (we found them through the riverside website) would be ideal for a family of 4. On the 2nd night of their... more

This is one of the biggest apartments that I have stayed in while in Melbourne. The location is great however the units are above a strip of nightclubs and discos that pump out booming music until 3.30am. It is impossible to get to sleep. Given this we won't be booking again. The free carparking was great and the service excellent.... more

We checked out of the Riverside Apartments this morning after only one night (we had booked five!) and felt compelled to write an instant review as this was the WORST place I have ever stayed, in terms of living up to it's description. I have travelled the world both for business and pleasure and have NEVER felt compelled to check... more
