We stayed here for our last night in Melbourne and I wish we had forked out some more for a decent hotel. This place was just awful. It was an old block of flats that had undergone an el cheapo reno. The worst thing was the smell - I didn't actually realise that they let pets in the rooms. The... more

The only thing Birches Apartments has going for it is the location and secure parking otherwise we had three sleepless nights in the two bedroom apartment with the windows facing a busy highway and a public telephone box directly near the children's bedroom window - people used this at all times of the night with lots of swearing etc. The... more

We stayed in the Victorian Townhouse and what a surprise. Walking through the doors felt like coming home! Beautiful wooden floors, two bedrooms, great kitchen lounge area and an ideal outdoor area for entertaining with a bbq. It was a struggle to go out on the Melbourne town since I just wanted to stay home! The only thing is that... more

We recently stayed here at Birches Apartments. We booked online for a 4 star deluxe 2 bedroom apartment. It was only equiv. 3 star, and thank god we stayed on ground floor (no lifts). Very basic accommodation, but overpriced. Also, very noisy - traffic, fire engines all night. more

I've just read a couple of negative reviews and wonder if people are writing about the same Birches where we just spent a week. Somebody said there was no public transport - it's less than a block off a tram route and little further to a railway station. I have a bad knee and it didn’t take me five minute... more

We stayed at Birches for 7 days while our house was being renovated. The hotel was very basic and did not feel clean. It is an old apartment building converted cheaply into a hotel. It was very noisy, the rooms were serviced badly and the bathroom was old and basic. It was not a comfortable and relaxing place to stay... more

When planning a Melbourne trip for a friend & myself I did a LOT of research, looking for a place that was affordable for the both of us, yet was comfortable. I found it! The price is pretty much average for a 1 bedroom apartment, the plus was the free, secure parking. We stayed in a twin, one bedroom apartment... more

Just returned from a short stay in Melboune..... this is actually an old type block of units transferred into apartment accommodation. No lifts, and carrying two massive suitcases was a nightmare to get up and down... the bathroom was very old and there was this distinct BAD smell coming from the bathroom the whole stay, was not nice! The bed... more
