Brady Apartment Hotel Hardware Lane

Nice apartment for 2 pax. The layout is a bit odd as it’s a “circular” shape with the kitchenette in the middle, so the bed is quite far from the bathroom but it’s very spacious. The light switches need a bit of figuring out, esp the bedroom one was hidden behind the curtain lol. There’s only one AC in the living room but the weather was cold when we visited so it’s okay. Location was good with many restaurants nearby and walking distance to the trams. Supermarkets are a bit further, takes about 10-15mins. Nevertheless, quite central and convenient. The reception was also friendly and helpful. Had an issue with the sink drainage and it was resolved the next day. However, housekeeping could be more thorough and attentive. When we checked in, the kitchen bin wasn’t cleared and mugs had coffee stains. The floors weren’t vacuumed daily, table wasn’t wiped and we also had missing towels on one day. They didn’t provide us floor towels at all which I only realised when I went to the reception to collect the missing towels. Soap/amenities weren’t replenished promptly. Maybe we were expecting too much for daily cleaning but if so could have let us know. The kitchen was useful but some items like the frying ladle, chopping board need replacement. Would be good if dishwashing liquid could be provided, we had to buy our own. Very happy with the hot water throughout our stay as we are not used to the cold. Overall still a pleasant stay and enjoyed our trip in Melbourne! If the improvements to housekeeping and amenities could be made, this place would definitely be 5 stars.

Good location with major malls and great restaurants around within walking distance. Very friendly staff. Room was spacious but the layout was abit weird with toilet right at the entrance then a long kitchen aisle before coming into the living room and bedroom in a corner. Cleanliness can be improved but overall happy with the stay!

The room was spacious but the cleanliness could be improved. There were visible stains on the carpet and some surfaces were dusty. The housekeeping also forgot to clear the bins, replace the towels, vacuum (there was hair on the bathroom floors) or wipe the surfaces from time to time. The washers and dryers were limited in quantity and a little worn out as well. They should install a washer and a dryer in each apartment. Nonetheless still a good location and decent value.
