The Marker Apartments Melbourne anmeldelser

My partner and I stayed at The Marker Appartments this weekend 14-16 July. The reviews of this hotel was very misleading. It appears as if the negative reviews for this establishment are very well hidden. My partner booked this hotel on the basis that it was so highly rated. However after the initial stay and a very difficult and long research into the place I found the ACTUAL reviews hidden. Cosmetically everything seemed wonderful upon first inspection, however. The appartments are in a very inconvenient location. Nothing much around food wise unless you want to travel into the city which unless you want to walk for a ridiculous amount of time you have to Uber everywhere. The beds were the hardest I’d ever felt, to be frank it would have been cleaner and comfier to sleep on the floor. There are no actual dovet covers on the bed. There are just multiple flat sheets on the bed to give the appearance of a well made bed. The mattress was so hard it felt like we were sleeping on a bed base with no mattress what so ever. The shower was extremely dirty. When showering I began to notice thick black grime or mould coming off the shower base. You cannot lock the door from the inside the lock has been disengaged You get 2 towels for the entire stay with no way to get any more unless you want to wait downstairs for someone at reception. The initial check In we dealt with a very rude man. They charged us a $100 bond that was not mentioned on the prepaid booking as well as $40 for parking for the 2 days that was also not mentioned. The parking situation was confusing and ridiculous, 2 different locking methods we had to get through in an underground Aldi car park. The courtyard was also no where to be seen The walls are very thin and we could hear a dog barking all night from a room a few doors up And all up the room had a very musty and unpleasant smell upon arrival. Not at all pleased with our experience.
