#7 of 7 hotels in East Melbourne & Richmond by Axel's take. East Melbourne & Richmond is #5 of 9 places to stay in Melbourne. The best hotels in East Melbourne & Richmond, ranked · Where to stay in Melbourne

Axel's take: 4.8/10

A handy MCG location cannot outweigh recurring cleanliness and maintenance problems. budget serviced apartments spread across three East Melbourne buildings, scored for what it is.

City Edge is a budget serviced-apartment operation across three East Melbourne buildings, rather than a conventional hotel. Its strongest assets are the location near Fitzroy Gardens, hospitals and the MCG, plus kitchens and space to spread out. Some recent Expedia guests describe comfortable beds, helpful staff and good value for a short stay. But we'd struggle to recommend it when dependable cleanliness matters.

Recent Tripadvisor and Trip.com reviews repeatedly report dirty bathrooms, mould, unpleasant smells and worn furnishings—not simply dated decor. Expedia feedback is more forgiving, though tired interiors and missed cleaning recur there too. Check-in is at Powlett Street, but your apartment may be elsewhere; reception is not open around the clock, and free parking is limited. Consider it only if location and apartment space outweigh consistency; we'd skip it for a longer family stay.

  • Best for: budget-conscious MCG visitors; short stays needing a kitchen

  • Watch out for: recurring cleanliness and maintenance complaints; apartments may be away from reception; limited parking and reception hours

  • Location: Convenient for Fitzroy Gardens, East Melbourne hospitals, trams and the MCG.

  • Rooms: Studios and larger apartments offer useful space, but worn furniture and dated interiors recur in reviews.

  • Cleanliness: Repeated recent reports of dirty bathrooms, mould and dust make housekeeping a substantial concern.

  • Service: Some guests praise helpful staff; others report poor problem handling, with reception closed overnight.

  • Amenities: Kitchens or kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi and a shared guest laundry; confirm access arrangements for your building.

  • Fees and surprises: Free onsite parking is limited; daily servicing costs extra, and Albert or Gipps apartments require a walk from reception.
