I stayed here for one year and had a very positive experience overall. The apartment was consistently clean and quiet, and the shared areas were well maintained, making it a comfortable place for both studying and daily life. The staff were friendly and helpful, and any issues were handled quickly, which made me feel very comfortable during my stay. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to public transport, supermarkets, restaurants, and the university. During the past year, I felt that the management and security were well organized, and I also met many great people and made good memories here. I would definitely recommend this student accommodation to other students looking for a comfortable and convenient place to live.

I've been staying in The Switch for almost two years now. Overall I think it's pretty good. The location is convenient, it's near super markets, the QV market, and the tram station. There's also a cafe in the lobby, easy to get a quick coffee! There's laundry rooms at the basement so that's also convenient. They set up an QR code for an extra laundry code (free of charge), but it's only accessible during the night and early morning. From my experience, the staffs are friendly and quite fast responding to e-mails and maintainance requests. The issues i have are the occasional broken laundry machines and the key card app not always responding to the elevator's sensor. Thankfully you can ask the reception staff to replace it with a physical card, it's more responsive compared to the app.

Really love this apartment! It’s always clean and amazing. Closed to shopping malls, traffic stations and flagstaff garden. In addition, this is the only student apartment I know of that offers residents free laundry in Melbourne ( helping me save lots of money 😉). As the resident here, I also get lots of chances to enjoy apartment parties, enjoy free food and drink , make friends and get the best memories in The Switch 🤭🤭🤭 Everything is so good and makes me feel like home. Love this apartment ❤️

I had a wonderful stay at The Switch Melbourne ! The location is excellent ,right in the CBD area, close to everything and very convenient for students and city life. The management team were extremely friendly and helpful , especially Ben and Anna, who always assisted me with anything I needed. Their kindness and professionalism made my stay much more comfortable. They also organised amazing community events, which were a great way to meet new people and make friends. The facilities were great too. I really enjoyed using the laundry and gym, which were always clean and well maintained. The environment felt safe, modern, and welcoming. My room was also very good, comfortable and well-designed for both studying and relaxing. I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend The Switch Melbourne Victoria Market to anyone looking for a convenient and friendly place to live!

I have been staying here since feb now and love it here. The location is convenient and everything is in close proximity (public transport, groceries, state library, restaurants, etc) Plenty of amenities available, the laundry is pretty much free, the cinema room is a great addition and the dedicated study/meeting rooms are always helpful for me. Even cleaning equipment is available to borrow and that makes life much easier (vaccum, mop, etc) I do have to admit that as my room is quite close to the garbage chute it sometimes stinks but the rest of the stay has been more than pleasant!
