The Plum Apartments had little service but were functional. Negatives- very narrow beds, heating did not work Positives- kitchen facilities and close to restaurants and shops The rooms met our needs but it was a shame it was so cold and when we reported heating issues we only returned to our room to find an extra blanket. Overall fairly good... More

My husband and I had a very happy stay at Plum's Carlton property for about two weeks. Obviously this property has some very mixed reviews but I think that depends a bit on what you're expecting, it's definitely not a fancy hotel. It's an inner city apartment building with front desk and housekeeping service. General observations: Room: The one bedroom... More

I don't like writing bad reviews but PLEASE DO NOT stay here!! It was smelly the moment we got here! From the entrance to the lift & all the way to our room! It was small & depressing. In need of a fresh coat of paint!! The images I had seen which convinced me to bookin are nothing to the... More

For being simple, I just arrive from oversea and spend some (short, but already to long) time in : Noise: you can not sleep (or be peaceful) because you heard a lot of "hit", "slap" or "kick" from door/foot/spoon... You also heard the toilet, the shower... everything... very VERY VERY NOISY Smell: after 2 days, your clothes smell the food... More

Melbourne is flush with investor-funded apartments at the moment; so arises Plum Apartments, fully-functional apartments rented out cheap to nightly guests. These are in a great location with full cooking facilities (including a dishwasher but not an oven). The beds aren't the most comfortable (my double was actually two singles with fairly hard mattresses and cheap linen). And the cheap... More

Upon arrival, you might be disappointed with what you see. The exterior of the building certainly does have an odd look about it. And while you might get the impression the building owners are just cramping in as many people as they can, after even just one night staying there you learn to be ridiculously grateful for what you've got....

I stayed in the one bed apartment for six nights while attending a training course nearby. Great accommodation and location for the money. Yes, it is a little basic but everything in the apartment worked, was clean on arrival and serviced minimum every two days on my visit. Importantly, the shower was full pressure and hot, which is always a... More

Stayed in worse but have stayed in better, single beds were pretty skinny+a little uncomfortable, can get a bit loud not very well sound proofed but it didn't bother me at all as i quite like listening to the goings on at night...but it could be a problem for other stayers...overall no major issues

Stayed during January (while tennis was on so prices were 'event pricing' as was most accommodation at that time) and felt that we had good value for money. The studio apartment was clean, quiet and was sufficient for our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful! The location was excellent with a tram stop just down the street. Our apartment... More

My husband and I were very pleased with the apartment we were given. The negative reviews I read were not indicative of our experience at all. The lounge room included a couch, dining table and chairs, good-sized television(with DVD player) and furniture was of good quality. The bedroom was spacious and the bathroom had plenty of room. There was a... More
