We were very comfortable in our rooms. The hardest thing we had to deal with was lifting our bags up three flights of stairs.

Excellent service from Darling Apartments. As soon as I booked the accommodation for my work colleague, I was called to check if we would require parking, late check-in etc. We will definitely be back.

Very nice apartment, perfect for short term stays. The bed was very comfortable Conveniently close to the train station, and the double glazed Windows kept out 99% of train noise so we still had an uninterrupted good nights sleep (our apartment was at the back as well) Lots of coffee shops, food places etc... Close by Staff were very nice. Although we only stayed a few days and didn't get housekeeping, the cleaner who came and collected the rubbish was very nice and asked us if there s nanny thing we needed!

Absolutely loved our stay. Great central location, but room still nice and quiet. Great shopping, restaurants and trainstation right at doorstep. Very clean, great water pressure in shower. Nothing left to be desired. Carpark included. Had rented 4 different apartments in Melbourne over the past 2 years, Darling Apartments was best value for money.

Very friendly n helpful stuff, well maintained facility, care to the details service, very convenient location, the only problem is close to the train station, but you don't hear much noise after middle night. I would come back again on my next trip to Melbourne.

My friends and I wanted to stay somewhere central for the evening and Darling Apartments was the perfect choice. Meg was a wonderful host and very helpful. The apartment was fantastic and I highly recommend. The location was perfect. We had dinner on Toorak Road at Maya Tequila Bar which is a quirky mexican restaurant and only a 5 minute walk from the apartments. We then caught the tram to Chapel St to dance to the live music playing at Bridie O'Reillys and finished the night at The Temperance Hotel. Darling Apartments ticks all the boxes whether you stay for one night or for the week. We will definitely stay again!!

I would definitely stay there again. Staff were very friendly. Great location. The heater wasn't very efficient but this was more than compensated by the lovely feeling of hopping into a bed with an electric blanket. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

Perfect for our needs. Good location, right next to the train and short walk to cafes, restaurants and shops. Some noise issues. The facilities are looking a bit tired, but generally served the purpose.
