Stayed for three nights, and found it perfectly adequate. Booked through lastminute.com and got a rate of 110 Australian dollars per night for a two bedroom apartment. I'd say that's a fair rate. Arrived to find that the receptionist couldn't find details of our booking. They let us use their computers in the office to show them our booking email,... more

My family & I stayed in a two bedroom apartment for 3 nights. The apartment was advertised as a superior apartment costing $140 per night instead of $250. Was it value for money ? I don't believe so.... In terms of location the apartment was handy and walking distance to everything you would want in Melbourne. Mayflower don't have their... more

The management is lucky to have a good location which is their only saving grace. One wonders why they don't turn this prime location accommodation into a good-for-value hotel. Not very much into the guests' needs. I was desperate and needed a place to stay for a few nights. I was warned by the reviews here and by friends who... more

After reading the other reviews before we stayed here I was extremely worried about our stay and even tried to find somewhere else to stay. I was unable to do so and it was with some trepidation that we arrived at the apartments. Yes they are very small and yes the beds are mattresses on some type of wooden board,... more

False Advertising, should let people know when booking that this is usually Student Accomodation. Beds may suit a 40kg Student but do not accomodate anormal sized Australian, A Bed is not a piece of chipboard with a mattress on top! No space to keep suitcase in room had to keep it in the extremely tiny lounge/kitchen/dining area. No mattess protectors... more

Dec 31st 2007 - Jan 4th 2008 we have just returned from 5 days in Melbourne staying at this disgusting accomodation - nothing short of international student accomodation. There was no service - eg on the 1st day the door handle broke to the lobby of our rooms - we reported this immediately.(to a chinese student). Next morning another student... more

Would agree with most of the comments in the previous review. Admittedly they do advertise it as affordable, basic apartment accomodation, and it is reasonably good value if you get a cheap price, but it was pretty bad. I only stayed there because it was spring racing carnival, and everywhere else was completely booked out. Reception was fairly non-existant -... more

I stayed at the Mayflower On Lonsdale, not by my own choice however.. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, from the moment of check-in with the staffmember barely saying a word as she stood over me siging the form. To arriving in the room to find it looked like it hadn't been painted in at least 15 years with marks... more
