Had a fantastic stay recently at the Soho Apartments. Our 1 Bedroom had all you need for a short stay in Docklands, the rooms are of a good size and have all the amenities you need. The booking process right through to check-in was smooth and professional. I am always concerned when you book a serviced Apartment that the cleanliness... More

These apartments are privately owned and for that reason I think is why you don't get any service during your stay. We had a two bedroom apartment with stunning views across the Docklands. They are in a great location with lots of shops and restaurants close by. The Etihad stadium is within a five minute walk and the free visitor... More

We booked in a little earlier than we requested, but the room was ready, and Josh even managed the luggage to our room. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you will need, with a small but usable kitchen, and comfy lounge. Located in a great place, easy to find, and just a short tram ride into Melbourne CBD, with... More

We stayed in a 2 br 2 bathroom unit at New Quay for 9 nights. The people who run these apartments have a variety of units in a number of apartment blocks, so I think the rooms would vary quite a bit. Whilst our room was probably a bit smaller than I thought it would be in the living area,... More

Hello jump62, thank you for the comprehensive review, we appreciate the comments as they inform prospective guests on what they should ask for when booking their apartment, as you correctly state all apartments are different sizes and have different views. More

We stayed in the digital apartment 711 (i think) it was a 1 bedroom beautiful apartment overlooking docklands. The apartment was amazing, we felt so at home and comfortable and with the tram stop litterally outside our front door we couldnt ask for anything more. Our family also stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment just over the road, this apartment... More

Having arrived in Australia (after the long flight from London) early in the morning we arrived at Digital Apartments, Docklands at 9.30 a.m., hoping to be able to leave our luggage prior to collecting the key later on. However Josh was extremely helpful and allowed us to check in there and then. He helped with cases and brought milk up... More

The location is fantastic with the tram stop right outside the door. An excellent range of restaurants just a walk down the dock. Close to the Harbourtown discount shopping centre. Our one bedroom apartment had everything we needed including a heat pump which we used to heat the room after a Melbourne cool snap. We would highly recommend this property.

Let me state from the beginning: these apartments are stunning. Amazing views, great furniture, iPod dock and incredible sound system. The location is excellent (catch tram 35 for free to get around) and there are a couple of stores to buy everyday necessities. On the downside: we had issues with the air conditioning, the temperature was 38 degrees everyday. Even... More

We had a 1 bedroom Soho apartment for 4 nights. Ours was on floor 5. Our view was of the railway not the marina,which was disappointing but I guess not everyone can have the good view. We arrived by taxi from the airport quite late ( taxi was approx. $60) The process to get our keys was very simple and... More

Hard to find but got there. We had a one bed apartment with view of railway instead of harbour so disappointed about that. Only one small window in main room so bedroom was airless. Adequately furnished and clean. Not serviced apartments unless you stay a week. That was a surprise. No free wifi but can go to office and sit... More
