Property was very clean and well-maintained. It would be helpful to have an extra set of keys provided when the occupants are more than a couple, as we were, as we left and returned to the property at different times. Being close to the train station and shopping mall was very convenient. Complementary parking also was a big plus for us. We are repeat guests and will use these apartments again. Thank you for a well-managed stay.

Great location near all the local restaurants. Plenty of room to move and was easy to get in and about. Was on the 10th floor which was good as end of railway below, which stops at night. Only occasionally does one decide to try out his horn early in morning. Very comfortable.

Hi Ian - thank you for your very positive review, it is greatly appreciated. You have highlighted the benefits of our location within the Glen Waverley restaurant and retail precinct. The adjacent train station is also a major benefit for those traveling to the MCG and the city. Most drivers exercise discretion with early morning departures. The majority of apartments on the train side have internal bedrooms which serve to limit inconvenience to light sleepers. Thank you again for your great review. We would look forward to being of service should you have the need to travel to Glen Waverley in the future. Regards, Ron

check the weather first
we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom apartment. it was spacious and very well appointed. great views of the Dandenongs from the 7th floor. situated in a very vibrant neighbourhood with multiple dining options. 2 minute walk to the train station and a few minutes to The Glen. Unfortunately for us it was extremely windy the day we checked in. the wind caused a loud high pitched whistling noise within our apartment. we were unable to tolerate this noise. reception was not manned and as we were very distressed we went home. on a normal day this would be a great place to stay, especially for a few days or more.

Hello Marian - I was sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with your booking. I apologise for missing your check in. Even though we provide self check in arrangements, I prefer to be here when our guests arrive. Covid has resulted in a substantial impact on my business. I am the only one in the office during the day and unavoidably, I get called away for a number of reasons, You may have seen the notification on the door with both the business and my personal contact details. As you noted, whilst you had booked a Studio, I had upgraded you to a 1BR apartment. Had I been aware of your plight, I would have offered to relocate you back to the Studio. We always strive to operate within a ‘Guest First’ culture and it is disappointing when our best endeavours do not match guest expectation. However, I greatly appreciated your many positive comments. I am sorry you were not able to enjoy them as you might otherwise have wished.

Great budget option, affordable & practical accom
Basic but clean & well equipped apartment in convenient location. Couple of small issues, like a broken light switch, stains in carpet etc so probably due for some general maintenance. Also the balcony/ windows face west and their is only 1 very small split system so the apartment really heats up in the afternoon during summer. Overall though a great budget option for affordable and practical accommodation.

Hello Stuart - thank you for taking the time to register your review. I am pleased you rated our business highly even though your experience was not perfect. I apologise for the inconvenience caused due to the high temperatures experienced during your stay. Carpet cleaning occurs routinely and/or periodically when required. I have asked the housekeeping staff to review this and the broken light switch to ensure they are attended to in a timely manner. Thank you again for your comments and we hope we can be of service when next you visit Glen Waverley.

Conveniently located apartment
Had great experience the first time 6 months ago. This time around was confirmed I can check in at 12pm the day before, was told on best effort only on arrival, attitude of the lady wasn't great, kept talking on phone. This room is facing west, extremely hot, and there is only a single layer blind which huge amount of heat penetrates through. First time around was east facing, was great, the guy at check in was very helpful as well. Great to have a place to park without additional cost. Apartment is clean. The Glen within walking distance, plenty of nice eateries nearby.
Balcony facing train station (west)
Fully equipped kitchen.
Small bedroom but is good enough, has everything that you need.
Nice ensuite with washer n dryer.

Hello - thank you for taking the time to leave your views on your stay. the building faces east/west and on a few occasions heat can be a problem when Melbourne experiences its occasional very hot days. The living area is air-conditioned and the separate bedroom is internal with a ceiling fan. Generally, our studio apartments face west and our 1BR apartments face east. Your comments about cleanliness and free parking are very much appreciated. Our house keeping staff take great pride in the quality of their work and it is not unusual for positive comments to be received.

Have stayed here before with no issue but would be reluctant to do so again. Room smelt strongly of curry and this did not dissipate during my 2 night stay. Extremely questionable stains on lounge that looked fresh and little to no attempt had been made to clean making it unusable. Had to throw a blanket over it to cover it up.Mouldy bathroom.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021
Response from Park Avenue on 4 Jan 2022
Hi Maria - We apologise for the situation you experienced. I have identified the apartment you stayed in and agree our attention to detail could have been better. The housekeepers have been asked to examine the stain to see whether it can be treated. I also accept the shower recess has evidence of mould in the silicone and this will be repaired before the next guest arrival. We have masking agents for cooking odours and whilst these are applied routinely during the cleans, occasionally they linger and can be treated on notification to reception. We pride ourselves on providing clean, fresh apartments for our guest experiences. Thank you for raising these matters and I assure you we will be rectifying them as best we are able.
