Had some tables to fold your clothes on. Also some chairs and stools to hang out on with several copies of the Melbourne visitors guide book and some maps to peruse while waiting for my clothes to dry. There were plenty of washers and dryers. The employee also let me know that my cloths would fit into a smaller washer just fine. She also loaned me the key to a nearby bathroom for customers only. I went in the middle of the day and had no issues waiting for machines. Great little place right by Spencer Outlet so I shopped while I waited for the washing machine to be done. I would recommend this laundromat!

Go here if you want rude and unhelpful service. Entered on a Sunday afternoon to drop off some dry…read morecleaning, no one was at the desk. Called the number online to see if someone could come and help but was rudely dismissed - was condescendingly told there was no staff available today because it was a Sunday, despite the facility being open that day, and that it was self service only. It's not clear how a dry clean drop off can be done self service, or why they were picking up the phone if there were no staff available. Really poor and won't be going back.

When I moved in, there were no blinds in the living area and I lodged a complaint that was entertained just 3 months before the end of lease period and the creamy-colored couch was too dirty and whole carpet was full of hairs. One day I woke up to corridors flooded with water possibly bcx of some pipeline that bursted and nobody was there to fix the problem for next 2 days. Bulbs/electric globes were quite old and fused within few months after I moved in, I ordered tons of bulbs from different stores and all did not work since there was something wrong with electric wiring. My request for maintenance fell over deaf ears. I know bulb replacement is renters own headache but taking care of wiring is the responsibility of rental provider. Just a suggestion, if you plan to move out better not to invest lots of money on their recommended professional cleaners bcx there is no way possible you will be getting your bond back. Before moving out I paid ~600$ to Boda Cleaning Service and made sure I left the property is perfect form perfect than ever before, property manager did not come for inspection when I moved out instead asked me to drop keys to their office. Next day, sent me an email of 880$ deduction for may be a "self-created" damage that I was never familiar with. In short, Student Housing Authority caused me a loss of 880 (deduction from bond)+~600 (cleaning)+80$ (bulbs)=1560$, sufficient financial drain for a student. By the end, you will lose your bond payment without any reason and whatever you pay to cleaner on the top of that!

Not only with other residents, but also with moths and all kinds of wired creatures. You will also share the kitchen with the sparrows. Besides, the heater is time limited, you have to remember to press the button every several hour to keep your room warm in winter. Plus, I don't know what's wrong with their fire alarm. It has rang about 10 times (3 time at midnight) since I moved here with no actual danger. The loud noise of the alarm seems more harmful then the fire threat, it mights hurts hearing. Moreover, the internet is not only expensive ($39.95 for 30000 MB) but also INCONTINENCE . It allow you to connect ONLY ONE device at a time. So if you want to use internet on tablet while your laptop is connected to the line, you have to: first, login to the portal on your tablet; second, select disconnect button in the portal for your laptop; third, re-login to the portal; forth, select connect button in the portal for your tablet. I can write even more complains for this horrible accommodation.... The rent is $1083 per month for a single room.

My partner lives in this building so I'm constantly in and out of the place…read more Although his apartment is in a relatively well-maintained condition, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the other rooms available weren't. The building itself is not bad, but it's some the people living inside this student accommodation where the problem lies. It seems as though they have no respect for the place or the other people living in it. Cleaners only come once a week, which wouldn't be all that bad if it weren't for the idiot/inconsiderate tenants that decide it's okay to leave rubbish in the middle of the hallway (such as empty bottles and wrappers). It stays there for the entire week, and the owners of the rubbish happily walk past it day in day out without a care. Even the lift has scrunched up papers and wrappers in it, I mean...seriously? The type of people that live here must be idiots. Last week the fire alarm went off and we were required to exit via the stairwell, we discovered to our horror that on one of the floors someone had continuously left their rubbish! Yes, bags upon piles of bags of rotting stinky rubbish! And no, it wasn't like papers and recycling items, it was real rubbish with rotting food etc. I have no idea who thinks it would be okay to leave rubbish in a stairwell, not only is it a fire hazard (because it was blocking half the platform), but it's plain stupid and shows the lack of care some of these tenants have for the place. If this place managed to get rid of the retards, it would be very livable. For now, we just put up with the sights and smells and pray whoever doing it gets struck by lighting.

Most recently, security footage has found a community of homeless people gathering on the ground floor, raiding the vending machines, between 4am and 6am, with some hanging around throughout the morning. This happens on a regular basis. Residents are not screened, or rooms checked up on. People smoke in their rooms or the stairwells, making entire floors smell of cigarettes and setting off the fire alarm at all hours of the night - most recently at 12.30am last night. People dump their trash in the stairwells (and not just a few), leaving it to rot and stink up entire hallways. Fights take place in the alley directly next to the building, and the pub just next door plays deep, loud music until 2-3am every weekend night. To top it all off, rent is expensive and rooms are cheap. Furnishings within the rooms are average at best, the smallest damages are charged towards your account and if you want to leave because you don't want to live in a ghetto such as D2 anymore, you pay huge cancellation fees, including continuing to pay rent until the room is filled by another unfortunate tenant.

Unilodge has charged me the wrong monthly rent since the day I moved. Every time I paid the figure…read morei was told for the month, (monthly rent changes according to number of days in a month). However when i ask about how much i have to pay the following month. They tell me I still have rent owning for the previous month. How is that possible when i paid the exact figure they asked me to. Everytime i went to confront management about g this issue, just so they would get the amount right each time they would say they are currently looking into it as a way of stalling the settlement of the issue. All in all, they are never accountable with your money, charge you for everything possible, and would put all blame on you just so they do not have to bear any responsibility or incur any charges.
