the room was clean and the staff were great. We had 2 one bedroom apartments. Ours had celophane patches on the lounge. the 2nd apartment had faulty aircon so was always hot and it took some 10 days to rectify. Additionally there was a burn the size of a plate in the carpet. During a few nights there was significant noise and children running down the hall at night. It was not up to their normal standard and not sure we will go back for a fourth visit.

Great location

Apartments were great we had the executive so had a washer and dryer, it had all the amenities we needed. Pool loungers would have been great and some more plants around the pool to detract from the concrete. Great location for Mitchell Street being two blocks away - was very quiet but easy access to Woolies across the street.

Pillows were all a bit thick - a range would be great. No duvet on bed (only sheet) which wasn't that comfortable. A shelf in the shower to put stuff would be helpful. Room was just a bit tired and dated - valance falling off bed, drawers in bedside tables not working, burn mark on desk, etc.

There’s nothing luxurious about this place

The previous page about parking did not give me a choice. We had to pay $10 a day for the parking inside the building. That’s something I hope to know when booking. The room was simple and tired, wifi was shamefully bad. Other than the good location, there was not much for this place.

This apartment had everything we needed and good value, separate bedroom, kitchen, laundry (although the washing machine didnt work and was replaced when requested and the stove was dangerous!) Sadly the property could be so much more with a little updating of amenities. The dryer didn't function either, just tumbled hot wet clothes, the electric kitchen stove was of the old style and the indicator knobs spun around so you didn't know what setting or which hotplate you were on! Very dangerous and yet there was a note on the wall saying if smoke detector summoned fire brigade the tenant was liable for costs..... not cool! Bathroom needed updating; taps corroded and silicone had mold underneath. Good points; excellent air conditioning, quiet room (3rd floor), nice swimming pool, a comfy bathtub, close to city center and shops. Woolworths on the next block.

Metro for me

The Hotel is geographically perfect with shopping, transport and dining choices all with walking distance. Checking in after 10pm is hassle free as the staff message a code number to your phone for the after hours key box, then they clearly explain entering the hotel. The hotel is quiet, feels very safe and secure. The staff are friendly and respectful. My room was perfect for me, with a very comfortable bed, and I enjoyed the fixed containers of creams/ shampoo. This made the shower very safe and no slippery floors or loose soap. The night view from the room was delightful and it was great to beable to open the small sliding windows. Totally recommend this hotel
