The apartment complex was neat and tidy but the room we stayed in was a little tired. The furniture was dated and for a fully serviced apartment it was a little disappointing that there were no cereal bowls. The main bed was also a little too soft and had nice big butt impression that I kept rolling into. Other than that though, the location was great and facilities good.

We are on our 3rd month of travelling. We have never come across a room with so much mold and dust. The couch was disgusting. I wouldn't even allow a pet on it. The gym had no wipes or spray, and the carpet was filthy. Location was good. Fortunately there was another room available. Our alarm was construction next door. No mold. Couch was in poor shape. Thankfully we had fantastic weather and out all day.

1. The plate and pot in the room are in very bad condition and I do not view that the pots meet any safe and sanitary standard (Photo attached) as a result we are unable to cook the food we bought from the supermarket and end of dining out. 2. On the last day of our stay, when I ironed my dress, the worst thing happened, the iron board is in very poor condition and it left obvious grid mark on the the dress and the dress is damaged. 3. When we checked out, I showed the marks on the dress to the reception lady and raised our concerns on the damaged dress and poor cooking ware. I even emailed to the hotel for the issues, but after two weeks now, no reply at all.

Overall, it was a good apartment, but there were two main concerns: (1) the sofa and chairs have linen covers, and they look very dirty. Leather-based covers would help. (2) The downlights in the living room and kitchen are not bright enough. The lighting fixture should be changed.

Okay. Wouldn’t come back
Ended up having a good stay. But overall was really disappointed. Our room was right next to the loud construction on the next building. We were informed this would be the case. The apartment was so dirty we couldn’t walk around without shoes on. And we found a few spiders in the shower. Clearly it had not been properly cleaned in quite a while, really concerned me that the bed also would be filthy. Thankfully the receptionist gave us a new room despite clearly being reluctant to let us change, warning us of ‘known construction near the new room’ (there was none) and that it ‘would be more inconvenient for us to go to this new room because of the elevator’. Despite that the new room was much nicer, cleaner and didn’t have the weird smell of the other building. Wouldn’t stay here again

Hi Anonymous,I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. It sounds like the initial room didn't meet cleanliness standards and was affected by the nearby construction, which understandably impacted your stay. It's concerning to find cleanliness issues like spiders in the shower, and I understand your worry about the bed's condition.I'm glad to hear that the receptionist accommodated your request for a new room, although it seems there was some reluctance and misinformation provided about the alternative room. It's great that the new room was an improvement in terms of cleanliness and comfort.Your feedback about the cleanliness and construction issues is incredibly valuable, and we'll use it to make necessary improvements. I apologize for the inconvenience caused during your stay and hope that, despite the initial challenges, the resolution in the new room allowed for a better experience overall. If there's anything else you'd like to share or if there's a way we can make it right, please let us know. Your satisfaction is important to us.Kind Regards, Matthew Driessen General Manager

Upon arrival the check in clerk informed us and another group of guests that the check in kiosk was for after hours checking in only. Then proceeded to check us in one by one on that kiosk. Upon it declining everyone because of its payment terminal not responding. Instead of troubleshooting it by the very least turning it off and on again he took everyone to the desk and checked us in there using a payment terminal that didn't have tap as a payment option so no one could use their phones to pay. After that whole situation we made it up to our room and it was cool as the air conditioning had been on, the counter tops and tables had been wiped down but it was very clear that the room was not dusted regularly as dust had already begun to settle on these surfaces again. After a sleepless night for my partner being asthmatic, I went on a cleaning rampage and found the air conditioning filter to have not been cleaned or changed for probably about 6 or more months. The top of the fan blades in the bedroom had a thick layer of dust on them as well as all the door frames and picture frames. The lights above the kitchen counter were coated in dust that had blown out of the air conditioning vent that was aimed right at them. There were no tissues in the room so I had to go to the pharmacy and get some while I was getting some anti-histamines also to stop her from sneezing to death. I can not and will not recommend this establishment to anyone.

We stayed for two nights - family of 4 (two teenage children). The deluxe apartment was spacious and the extra bathroom a blessing with two teenage children! The decor itself was a little tired and the provided amenities (cookware, towels etc…) very basic but functional. The lack of coffee machine (pod or plunger) was a little disappointing, however there is a plethora of great coffee shops within quick walking distance (Coffee Head Co. get my vote). The location is perfect for those happy for a short walk to the museum, art gallery and convention centre, and there are a ton of amazing places to eat in the area. All in all it was a nice place to stay, just don’t expect 5-star finishes. The staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating and really enhanced the stay. Finally the pool, open between 8am and 9.30pm, was heated and a great way to unwind at the end of the day!

The Apartment was located in a central location near restaurants, shopping and public transport. The condition of the apartment and facilities were good. Having the fridge, oven and microwave oven was quite useful during our stay. However, the matress in one of the rooms, was uncomfortable causing back ache, the sofa was very uncomfortable to sit. Also the ladles and kitchenette was very old, could be updated to avoid the pieces of silicon material being mixed with food while cooking. Also there was no replacement of towels even once within the 3 days of the stay.

Take me away, well located, excellent parking, nice rooms and a good balcony. very central. The only thing is the cleanliness, the sofa had a very bad smell, the carpet in the living room was very stained. in general it lacked good grooming.

Looks nice but poor quality unfortunately
We checked in after hrs and unfortunately the Tv was not working but we couldnt get anyone to assist as caretaker and after hrs contact was not able to support or assist. Then No one bothered to contact us during our stay to assist with this issue. Pool was freezing unfortunately and rooms dirty with mould in bathrooms and stains and marks all over the walls and curtains. The place needs a deep clean and a reception. As there was no one to talk to onsite to raise any issues.

Apartment itself was fine. Nice and spacious and 2 bed, 2 bath was extremely handy for us as we were attending an event at the convention centre. Check in wasn’t overly clear & directions on how and where to check in on arrival could’ve been clearer also. Other than that, great stay and exactly what we needed.

Reception office was closed so had to deal thru intercom. Checkin was slow while attendant operated electronic kiosk for each guest. No in-room communication meant elevator ride to make requests. Requested restock of dish detergent, laundry powder, coffee milk around 4pm and advised housekeeping would attend - no one came. Expect this level of service at a budget accommodation, not here. Location and room was excellent.
