Reviews for The Victoria Apartments

Review 1:Bathroom design, blind in the shower to cover clear class window rather than just having frosted glass. Couldn't lock apartment door without key, lock kept popping open when pulled shut. One TV remote didn't work.

Review 2:Well stocked with kitchens utilities, pots, pans, utensils etc, everything you'd need. Secured car park. Easy walk to beach and shops.

Review 3:Ground floor was very noisy from upstairs. Especially when they were crashing around at 5am

Review 4:Very friendly staff and service. Comfortable and clean rooms

Review 5:Very small apartment only good for short term stays. Also no insulation from noise stairwell , upstairs apartment and aircon unit outside bedroom window.

Review 6:Location , was great handy to town cafes and restaurants.

Review 7:Pillows too big and a bit over-firm. Electric blanket..the hard plate where the wiring connects to the blanket was right where our shoulders sat making for very uncomfortable sleeping. Something that would be ignored if staying in the winter!!.....but could do without the blanket in the height of summer (when we stayed)

Review 8:Excellent position in town for us close enough to the town centre without being right in it. Short stroll to the best coffee in port fairy, Bella Marie (our opinion, anyway!)

Review 9:Downstairs suite is very noisy if the suite above is occupied and the location of the aircon condenser unit for the upstairs suite outside the bedroom window of the downstairs suite makes getting a good nights sleep difficult.

Review 10:Conveniently located near the centre of town but far enough away to escape the noisy activity.

Review 11:not very clean - sticky floors rooms not configured to our party set up i.e we had to seperate the beds for the kids ventilation of the back rooms very poor - needs ceiling fans in the heat

Review 12:Loved the location and secure parking

Review 13:Room is a bit small Shops including most caffs shut 6 pm

Review 14:Apartment was brand new. Its on Bank Street the makn drag of the town You get free parkin in your own garage The oldest pub in Port Fairy is across the street beer good. Food simple and inexpensive. Ifs called the Stump ans is the oldest pub in Victoria state like 1840 There is a public swimmin pool near by. Cool Mandy is cute and helpful. Make a man very happy she could!

Review 15:Overlooks a hotel and was noisy on the Saturday night due to a party. TV had no reception.

Review 16:Very spacious apartment. Very modern & comfortable. Great location.

Review 17:Bed room was rather small had trouble accessing wardrobe.The same in the kitchenette. A coffee table in the sitting room would have been preferable to the soft pouffe

Review 18:Convenient location. Undercover garage with access to apartment

Review 19:One improvement would be to have some means of alerting unit occupants to a visitor. We had friends in another unit staying at the same time, and we wished to share transport. A knock on the front door was useless because of long passage thru to unit door.

Review 20:Very central to shopping centre and main attractions. Self catering facilities were ideal for preparing quick breakfast before heading out to convention sessions.

Review 21:One minor complaint: a hand basin in the toilet would make this property much better for sharers. But it was such good value for money we aint complaining!

Review 22:Extremely reasonably priced. We had originally booked this accommodation for just the 2 of us and then 2 other couples who were heading on the same holiday with us joined us at no extra cost.

Review 23:The apartment was very small and the overhead cupboard in the kitchen was a hazard for head bumping.

Review 24:The apartment was close to town and great eating at the pub next door. It was great having a lock up garage for the car.

Review 25:Nothing

Review 26:Booked a one bedroom apartment, which, when I got there, was a bit on the small side. However, even though all were non smoking, the room reeked of cigarette smoke. On contacting reception, I was immediately upgraded to a very spacious two bedroom apartment.

Review 27:For some reason their bank pre-authorised my card by taking one dollar and then the full amount. This caused my card to be suspended by my card provider resulting in an expensive, lengthy call to get it reinstated. Can't blame the property for that.

Review 28:Very nice one bed apartment, lovely and clean, beautiful linen

Review 29:There are better locations in town for a view (but these apartments are an excellent option considering the facilities on offer)

Review 30:Lovely spacious apartment with garage parking close to the main shopping and eating places in the town.

Review 31:Location was upstairs which was fine for us but we didn't realize ahead. This could be challenging (ie with luggage) for some.

Review 32:Apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Nice location.

Review 33:The tap water was absolutely foul - undrinkable even after being boiled. Given that I need to drink a lot of water, this was significant to me. I really feel that the hotel should warn guests so that they can come prepared.

Review 34:Room was spatious and comfy. Beds were very comfy. Room was nice and clean.

Review 35:The apartment was well presented and very convenient. It was also very quiet. We appreciated the private lockable garage, but were surprised to learn that we has to share with another room, with unlocked access to the area?

Review 36:1BR units very small, not suitable for groups as quite isolated once in room/s. Only small area outside unit 7 able to be utilised for group gatherings. Air con units for upstairs apartments outside downstairs bedroom windows. Mattresses very hard. No water views due to location.

Review 37:Facilities were clean and well maintained. Well located for cafes and shops.

Review 38:Cramped. Also the button to open the garage door didnt work sometimes.

Review 39:Close to a nice place to walk along the coast. Nice having a cute little apartment with its own garage.

Review 40:No breakfast option No real views

Review 41:Organised easy book in and out. Large and light roomy feel to the apartment with excellent layout and access. Location in Port Fairy was within easy walking distance from pretty much all in town - did not need the car and provision of lock up garage good.

Review 42:The welcome on the phone and when we arrived was excellent. The parking was very good and secure and the apartment was excellent. We liked the facilities and the patio.

Review 43:The interior is starting to be a little shaby, lounge suite scuffed,needs repainting in the near future

Review 44:The location is central walking distance for all things

Review 45:Room should be serviced daily. Neighbouring hotel exhaust fan constant noise.

Review 46:Well appointed. 2 b/r spacious, so go for these, even if there's just 2 of you!

Review 47:Air conditioner of neighboring apartment outside our bedroom window resulted in disturbed sleep.

Review 48:Well located, modern and well appointed, clean and well serviced. Comfortable bed and good bathroom/shower. Friendly, helpful staff.

Review 49:Booking made via Booking .com , we were unable to advice that the 4 adults we booked for were infact Parents and older children and required 1 double and 2 singles.

Review 50:The property could be improved if some painting was done on the balustrade at the top floor of our apartment.

Review 51:Very good supply of crockery and cutlery, comfortable balcony furniture, Light, bright ambience. Will return.

Review 52:Located within a few hundred meters of the river/wharf area, and very close to the Main Street. The apartment was fantastic. You have a lockup garage, full kitchen, and plenty of room with balcony (actually I think you could live in the apartment).

Review 53:Bedroom window was locked open and blind kept banging, eventually we put a pillow there to stop this.

Review 54:Comfortable and clean and in a great location close to everything

Review 55:The noise from downstair if there is people in another apartment it is a bit noisy. You can hear if someone walking on the stair or someone open/close the door.

Review 56:Location apartment is exellent.

Review 57:We were on the road side of the property which was a bit noisy. The real noise though came from other apartments - everything could be heard due to poor noise insulation between apartments.

Review 58:Nice apartment with good facilities.

Review 59:The apartment was so small there wasn't even anywhere to put your suitcase. Really uncomfortable and claustrophic and the bathroom shower was covered in mould. The apartment had ants through it and when we told the owner he said there was spray in the kitchen.Finally moved us to an aprtment on the footpath which was also unbelievably tiny.We were extremely disappointed and would recommend one to stay clear of these apartments.

Review 60:Sounded like a fan was going downstairs all night. Need to seperate fan & light switch in bathrooms so don't wake others.

Review 61:Great location nice & clean & spacious.

Review 62:Our upstairs neighbors had an early start and we were woken by the squeaky floor boards above at 5am - there were lots of vacancies so no need to be in the same block. Pillows had a very strong rubber smell - On our departure the staff member didnt even look at me to say goodbye

Review 63:Great location - very convenient parking The staff member on our arrival was very welcoming

Review 64:Liked everything!

Review 65:I have stayed at a lot of accommodation and Victoria Apartments come out on top for luxury, cleanliness, facilities. In fact I feel it is the best place I have stayed!! We didn't lack for anything down to the superb bedding!

Review 66:Second night with guests upstairs, they had a child that kept jumping around, so that was annoying, I was glad we were going out to dinner.

Review 67:it was central to everything, shops and restaurants

Review 68:Bed mattress was a little hard for our liking

Review 69:Staff we very helpful and gave great suggestions for things to do. Apartment was clean and tidy, and was really close to everything in town.

Review 70:Unfortunately the people below us did not comply with the non-smoking law and we were wishing they had been placed somewhere else on the property!

Review 71:The beautiful decor of the apartment and the lay-out. Also loved the proximity to two good pubs and the shops and cafes.We were given a really lovely corner apartment.

Review 72:Well laid out apartment in great condition. Friendly management. Well located to central dining and shopping area. Value is relatively favourable (winter rate).

Review 74:position, cleanliness, facilities

Review 75:Spacious living room good to host two families! Love the kitchen equipped with everything! Fabulous location and quiet from the main road. Will recommend to my friends!

Review 76:Stayed in apartment 1a, Rolladoor not working, no air vent in bathroom,toilet area, plug in sink did not have a grill which means rings etc could go straight down the pipe, no outdoor seats, carpets stained, very poor layout & very cheap fittings, 2 Seater lounge uncomfortable, bed just ok 2/10! Left 1 day early as did not offer what we thought it would - very disappointed.

Review 77:Although advertised as including a kitchen, it was more of a kitchenette with limited cooking facilities (2 hotplates, microwave but no oven).

Review 78:Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

Review 79:Internet was terrible. We gave up trying to get it. Staff could not improve it.

Review 80:Close to walk to shops etc. very comfortable two bedroom unit. Facilities excellent.

Review 81:The external component of the split system air conditioner for the apartment above was attached to the wall of the ground floor apartment directly outside the bedroom window and it chugged and wheezed and vibrated all night. Not a good night's sleep!

Review 82:Location

Review 83:These beautifully appointed apartments are well situated close to the centre of town an surprisingly quiet. Our apartment was spacious with quality and comfortable furnishings. Off street parking with lockup garage was an added feature.

Review 84:Not as clean as it could've been. Tired/mucky cream leather lounge suite & hair in bathroom!

Review 85:Good location. Well equipped. Heat pump warmed the apartment well.

Review 86:The bed

Review 87:Didn't feel cold there at all The room was warmed when we arrive The sheets are crisp and clean The kitchenette is clean and complete The cleaning staff is very kind

Review 88:On the ground floor [our unit] heating is by fabulously effective Nobo heaters and/or reverse cycle airconditioning. Compressor is outside beside the lounge. Upper floor heating is by aircon only. Compressor for that is outside adjacent to head end of the ground floor bed with sound rated at 66 dB! No fun at 0600. Regretted not paying attention to a review which mentioned the noise.

Review 89:The location was excellent. Short walk to the main historical centre and just across the road from the oldest continuously licenced hotel in Victoria which had great food and friendly staff.

Review 90:When we arrived there was a notice saying there had been a stranger last night and keep doors locked. My family had been travelling all day, we had a quiet night in, each in the own space no movement until we brushed teeth at 9pm. We then heard a very loud knock on the door which was concerning but we ignored it we then received a call from the night manager saying we were being noise disruptive. I found this very upsetting as we had been quiet all evening and were not loud. This was very disconcerting.

Review 91:Layout and space of apartment, lock up garage and laundry

Review 92:Very hard beds, could benefit from a topper. Tight garage parking.

Review 93:great location near center of the town, good appliances, fairy comfortable furniture.

Review 98:Bed a little on the firm side for 'our taste'

Review 99:Very comfortable, modern accommodation with all facilities. Excellent customer service experience at front desk.

Review 100:The Victoria Apartments are just the Best!!! Just metres to good restaurants the main shopping precinct, the river and the wharf, we walked everywhere. The apartment is well equiped, with smeg appliances, good furniture, comfortable bed and garage car park included, great value for money, will definitly stay again.Excellent.

Review 101:A little too much furniture in the small apartment.

Review 102:Lovely self catering apartment on main street. Very clean and comfortable. Locked garage for car is great.

Review 103:Appartment furnishing designer should be living in it for a few days. Wardrobe doors could not be opened fully, because of bedside table size; same reason to close blinds.

Review 104:Beds were very comfortable.

Review 105:As we had the downstairs 1 bed apartment, we were entertained by the heavy footsteps and noises from the 2 bed apartment above including the noise from their a/c unit which was located outside our bedroom window and went on all night, every night.

Review 106:Convenient location. Good bed. Friendly staff.

Review 107:Unfortunately, on the first evening, my husband slipped in the shower & fell through the glass door, shattering glass all over the bathroom. Although not badly hurt, he did suffer several cuts & scratches. The manager, John, did his best to clean all the glass up, but there was so much of it that it wasn't all gone until the next day when the cleaner came & vacuumed thoroughly. There were no other rooms available to move us into, so we had to stay in that apartment. John provided plenty of bandaids & the cleaner gave us extra towels to put on the floor, as the shower sprayed out with no door to stop it. An unfortunate accident, but maybe a rubber mat in the shower might have prevented the fall.

Review 108:Great central location. Close to shops, pubs & cafes. No need to take the car. You could lock it in the secure garage if you wanted to.

Review 109:We had a balcony but no view from it so would have preferred a front apartment. We still sat on balcony when weather was nice though.

Review 110:Great location, no need for car to get to shops and hotels. Short drive to scenic river area for walks.

Review 111:Studio although well appointed was a little small.A slightly larger wardrobe would also have been helpful as we stayed for four nights so we had to store our travel bags in boot of car.

Review 112:proximity to town and its facilities

Review 113:Bed too hard difficult to sleep, receptionis ok but not the most helpful...preoccupied with computer. Would like more info about the area in room.

Review 114:Car park great,spacious and private.

Review 115:I found that the bed wasn't particularly comfortable. Too hard for my liking!

Review 116:Spacious 2 bedroomed apartment, clean, light and airy with good facilities. Well positioned for shops and restaurants..

Review 117:The bed was a bit smelly - a little like urine smell, which made our sleep really bad.

Review 118:Very convenient - on the main street, close to everything. Room has everything you need - kitchen, wifi etc

Review 119:very pokey unit, cheaply built. We could hear every move the (quiet) people above made, including urinating in the toilet. So crowded are the units that the air conditioning pump for the unit above us was working full tilt right outside our bedroom window - less than a metre away

Review 120:reception staff very pleasant

Review 121:I personally found the mattress a bit too firm

Review 122:We loved the location and cleanliness and freshness of the apartment. The managers were friendly and informative and we were made to feel most welcome. There was plenty of room for the two of us and we would definitely return.

Review 123:Lacked space - bed too large for room size Sitting area pokey Noise from other apartments intruded markedly

Review 124:Clean . Comfortable bed. Bathroom facilities OK.

Review 125:Not on the waterfront and the setting lacked the "wow" factor, but close to shops etc.

Review 126:Quiet, spacious and clean. Complete with garage parking for the car.

Review 127:No complaints re the apartment but Port Fairy has limited choices for eating out. We stayed on a Bank Holiday Monday and most places were closed, we couldn't even get takeaway pizza! Ended up driving over 20 miles to find somewhere to eat, recommend you book a table in advance of your stay or plan to cook and eat in!

Review 128:Modern style of the apartment it is very light and airy and well equipped - washing machine, dryer and dish washer - all included.

Review 129:We were very pleased with our choice of the Victoria Apartments. The apartment was clean and comfortable with shops and restaurants nearby and in Port Fairy you can walk to anywhere. The apartments aren't huge, but are still much bigger than a hotel room, and nice to have a separate sitting area and outside area. The kitchenette was fine for breakfasting and simple meals.

Review 130:We were downstairs and could hear a lot of noise from the upstairs unit. Even just somebody walking around or using the shower. No airconditioning.

Review 131:Clean and comfortable

Review 132:The garage for the car was very limited for a large vehicle, very tight squeeze to get in and very small turning circle. We scraped front bumper on pot plant.

Review 133:The cleanliness and comfort of the room. The proximity to main shopping precinct.

Review 134:Loved Port Fairy - clean and well maintained. Nothing to complain about.

Review 135:Left the car in the garage and walked to all the restaurants, shops and sightseeing. Hubby was surprised at the number of seats provided for him as I checked out the shops.

Review 136:We went to Port Fairy for the weekend for a Wedding. The Victoria Apartments were so nice. Modern, clean & comfortable. Staff were so lovely. We will defiantly be staying here again if we come back.

Review 137:Single bed was like sleeping on a plank of wood, rear bedroom was hot no portable fan and other guests very noisy and inconsiderate at 2am needs to be a restriction on using the electric garage doors

Review 138:Able to park and walk nice view from 2 storey, clean and plenty of storage
