There’s was festival below, very loud until midnight.
The floors still had dirt on them.
There was tricking water from an outside pipe the tripped all night.
The parking was difficult, we had to enter their
Parking via the multi rise parking. Our cafes were too “big” for their parking and we had to park out the back.
We asked for one of the beds to be made up of 2 singles and we had 2 queen beds.

Not a great experience. We won’t ever use this facility again

We stayed one night over the March long weekend for a sporting event in a nearby suburb. Apartment was well sized, neat, tidy and relaxing. Noise from other guests was non existent. City noise was heard but not too disruptive. Check in process was positive. Carparking was convenient and easy once we worked it out. Wifi was also satisfactory. Showers were some of the best we've come across in travel.

Worth noting that only the very basic was supplied for guest use (towels but no facewashers, a large machine dishwisher but nothing for handwashing, a lot of plates but no teaspoons). We didn't use the kitchen except for the kettle so can't comment on kitchen appliances.

Overall it was a good stay for the price.

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment with twin beds in 1 room and whilst the hotel was agreeable to splitting a bed, it took over 24 hours to happen.

The patio had all services on it (hot water system and 2 aircon motors, 1 of which was not for this room), and the aircon drain was direct onto the patio floor, so you could not use the patio except to stand in the middle of it on a mat that was placed on it for water reasons.

The apartment was advertised to have aircon, but it was in the loungeroom only. It was very hot during our stay, which made sleeping very uncomfortable.

The hotel was advertised as having off-street parking, but it was an extra fee and there was non available anyway. Street parking was paid parking and for an hour period at a time only (unless you pay a day rate in a nearby building), which made it difficult for our sporting event and going back to the hotel.

There was limited utensils in the kitchen for cooking and the dishwasher didn't work, which would explain why the limited utensils were dirty at the start. There was no tea towel, washing liquid, toaster, sharp knife etc., which made it harder. .

There was a funky smell in the hotel building.

If you enjoy cultural dining, there is some great local food places. Just be careful walking around at night, as it does not feel like the safest place to be in.

Room itself wasn’t too bad, small but clean. The hallway was very dirty and stunk.

I’ve never written a review before, but I felt compelled to write this one.

I booked a room for three people, only to find it had just one bed. The cutlery was dirty, the sheets weren’t clean, and the oven was filthy. The shower had a disabled seat that couldn’t be moved, and when we used it, the water overflowed onto the bathroom floor and into the apartment. The mattress had cigarette burns, the fridge was covered in stickers, and to top it off, there were underwear and clothes left on the balcony.

There also weren’t enough utensils for three people, making it even more inconvenient. Overall, this was one of the worst accommodations I’ve ever stayed in—would never book again.

Sadly this property was nothing like what images displayed it to be. At checkin we were advised our booked room was not available and we were going to be put in 2 seperate rooms. Then the parking was an added $10 p/night and the parking space only brought anxiety and worry. All parking bays at carpantry and furnishings around it, the space was cramed and the only way to get to the next level was to put your car in a lift!!! Which was not possible for a big car.
Then the room - it was disty,, dirty, not adequayely made beds, no washing /dryer as advertised, no standard amenties, no daily cleaning of ribbish or service provided. The reception staff i dealt with initially was rude.
The area was definitely not safe.
Thankfully i received our partial refund and deposit which was probably the only positive

Fair to middling but a nice, cosy stay

My stay was about the same as last time, the beds are very comfy and there is plenty of space. It is starting to show age and a couple of things need a bit more maintenance, but the staff are friendly, location is great, access is easy and secure. I enjoyed the room

We were there with another family that had to switch rooms because of the cockroaches
The building is non compliant and renovations recently completed are terribly unsafe. There is a concrete mezzanine that is supported entirely by acro props.

Got to our room, and there was cockroaches and mould all throughout the apartment. Complained and got moved to a sinle room apartment, so my son had no where to sleep. I then had to find my own mattress for him to sleep on and take bedding from old apartment so he had a pillow and doona. Reception didnt offer to refund or change our charges, so we payed for a 2 bedroom cockroach infested room when we ended up in a single apartment.

Don’t waste your money!!!

Reception staff on entry were rude, demanding a cash deposit bond, nothing stated about this on booking site.
Rooms were dirty, no face washers or tea towels, filthy tv remotes.
Do not recommend staying here at all.
Absolute disgrace !!

Property is in good condition with parking ($10,- p/n). We stayed for two nights and though the amenities are good, including washer/dryer, the supply of cutlery (1 knife, 1 fork, 2spoons, one glass, 3 mugs, 2 plates, etc.). There was plenty of cupboard space, but all of them were empty.
I don't know if they ever get replaced or are just taken by people that stay there.
Signs on the street say \"racism not tolerated\", one can not but feel, that they are staying somewhere in the middle eastern region.

For an apartment it was terribly under equipped. Not even cloths and dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes.
There was graffiti on the toaster ?? And barely covered graffiti on the walls in the bathroom.
On the plus side - the guy at the desk was helpful and the place is obviously being updated.
