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

VALUE FOR MONEY GREAT RETURNS

Overall excellent and convenient spot in city next to Woolworths for your daily needs. Room was a studio and very comfortable for 4 night stay. Having a kitchenette came in handy and the pool was just across from where I was staying including lift. Daily room service. Self service Laundry no charge. Would stay again. Only inconvenience was the fire drill but then again you never know when a real one would be. Great!

WOULD STAY AGAIN

This property met our expectations on both price and location. All staff we encountered were well trained friendly, efficient & professional. Our room was well presented, clean & functional. We had a hire car which we paid $10 per night for secure onsite parking. Woolworths city store was just 2 minutes walk away.
