District Apartments Fitzroy

Not recommended for those who value their personal data security and privacy. Not recommended for internati9nal travellers who may not have enough charge on their phones to complete 3 forms, then download and set up an app that requires constant internet and Bluetooth connections. Booking required multiple insecure methods of sharing credit card details and identification documents along with 2 forms to fill out with personal details and an app to download in order to gain access to the Building entrance, Elevator, and Apartment. None of this information was given to me prior to booking. I would not have stayed here if I had known the extent of insecure transmission of personal information and amount of admin and work required just to check in and stay one night. I work in this space and know the risks. Management is putting guests personal data at risks with the excessive documentation requests. FYI, requiring someone to send credit card PICTURES and ID pictures over email is completely insecure. This is bizarrely at odds with the excessive security to get into the building. The constant need to carry your phone everywhere or you'd be locked of the apartment or even the whole building was extremely stressful. In terms of the actual room, once I got in, the bed, kitchen, lounge and floors were clean but the toilet had not been cleaned in a long time. This was not nice. You could see parts under the rim had not been cleaned in years. Toilet had also been recently used and not flushed properly upon arrival. I did not take photos of any of this, it was too gross. I ended up buying paper cups as the glasses/cups as those supplied were not clean, tried to take a picture but it's hard to see. They were covered in fingerprints and fibres of some kind. The view was nice and loungeroom was great, study nook was extremely handy for remote work. Balcony tiles are moving and could be a tripping hazard. Laundry was well equipped but did not have time to use it.

I had a very comfortable stay at the District Apartment in Melbourne. The room was very spacious and it had everything I was looking for including the location. I enjoyed the stay here

Room was not very clean or tidy. There was also a fan drying the carpet in the hallway for the whole five days we were there.

Really loved my stay at District Fitzroy. Great sized apartment and large balcony. Perfect apartment and perfect location:)

The area around the hotel is nice and isis great and decently connected.

One bedroom suite. Very comfortable. Close to dining, supermarket and transportation. Stars are deducted for poor communication at check in. We had cellular service in Australia but no phone number. Tried to contact them via email multiple times and got no response. Finally called them on a (very nice) strangers phone and the check in sorted out.

This gem is tucked away from the noise but just a street back from Brunswick and Smith Streets. Tram stop nearby Pubs and restaurants all around and Lune is a 5 min walk if you dawdle Contactless check worked a treat Will definitely stay here again

The apartment we had was light and very spacious - the size was generous and good value for money in that regard. The location was extremely well placed, handy to transport, shopping and dining facilities. However, the cleanliness of the apartment was very poor. It was clear the apartment had lacked a thorough turnover clean between bookings and had not had a deep clean for an extended period of time. Whilst cleaners were sent in to address some of the issues (something which in itself was dubious), the reality is that the lack of cleanliness was such that the apartment could never have been cleaned properly mid booking. This aspect of our stay was extremely disappointing. We had family staying..they were in a different apartment in the same building. Their apartment was, by contrast, well cleaned but very small and dark for the same or a similar price, but clearly inferior. The inconsistencies were stark - the District Staff would do well to visit the apartments on their books in person and adjust their advertising and pricing accordingly.

The location of this property is fantastic, however the cleanliness and overall condition of the property was horrible. For the price we paid, it was very disappointing to see the state of the apartment. It was the only thing holding the property back from a 5 star review
