Guest Reviews

• Kim (8/5): - Good location to Museum station, Hyde Park & Anzac memorial. Bathroom could do with a revamp but it all worked.
• Mardi (7/5): - There was no bathroom light
• Yingying (8/5): -
• Joanna Ruvi (8/5): -
• Allie (1/5): Very disappointing, overpriced and dirty. Do not recommend. - Good location Would not recommend, do not stay here. Tiny, small place. Not clean, dirty walls/ceiling, pillows. Overpriced for what we received Nil support from hosts at all. Do not respond to communication or resolve issues.
• StevenK84 (2/5): - The Pool/Gym/Sauna The room was not in a very good state, not cleaned properly, the bath failed to hold water, the plug for bath didn't fit, the pillows were old and sweat stained, no tea spoons to stir or make coffee, very old out dated furniture and electronical devices, the Ikia sound speaker couldn't connect, Curtin had ripped areas, mould spores in curtains, carpet was damp, damp smell in the room.
• wansbrough (8/5): Loved the location easy access to train stations also plenty to see within walking distance - I very much enjoyed my breakfast and the restaurant Nothing to complain about
• Yardley (5/5): - The sofa bed was meant to sleep 2, but was the equivalent size of a single mattress, not the same couch as in pictures.
• Aude (8/5): Très bien situé ce qui nous a permis de visiter Sydney avec beaucoup de facilités - Très bon emplacement Un peu trop petit pour une famille de 4. Pour une famille de 3 ce serait l’idéal
• Jennifer (7/5): -
• Needham (8/5): - The location was good. We went to Carols in the domain and did some sightseeing. Thai restaurant downstairs was great. Bathroom could do with some maintenance.
• Mel (3/5): Meh - if you want cheap you got it - Area is great. The air con threw black stuff out everytime it was turned on, possibly black mould. The air con unit was loud, and making strange noises on the balcony. It needs a good clean and service. Contacted apartment managers- zero response.
• Melissa (8/5): -
• Anna (8/5): - I really like the location. The amenities were fantastic with the roof top pool, spa and gym.
• Dylan (8/5): - Large studio
• Bev (8/5): - Location Comfortable good food close by
• Cherry (7/5): -
• Riana (4/5): - Was far from clean, dirty cups, god knows what splashed on walls/ roof not enough towels for stay looked much nicer in photos Cleanliness
• Mikayla (10/5): Super clean, was very nice, kitchen had heaps of stuff in it, bed was comfy - Was easy to get to and walking distance from everywhere, very clean N/a
• James (7/5): - Great location, close to museum, bars, resturants and shops. Rooftop pool, but no drinks or food allowed. Good value. Being a private letting, reception aren't a lot of help. Renovations ongoing during the day make it quite noisy during the day. Building is quite aged.
• Carolyn (8/5): Enjoyed - Greatest location really good price The front desk could not keep our luggage after check out ,it would have been helpful as our flight was 6 hours later perhaps this could be addressed we would have been happy paid a fee to them if this service was offered
• Paulie (2/5): Not happy - I enjoyed the surrounds kids love the zoo and Luna Park Firstly the lounge was broken when we arrived secondly it was pretty dirty on the balcony we've poo from pigeons and thirdly I sat on the seat when I first arrived on the balcony and it's snapped I feel straight to the ground and hurt my back
• Laura (1/5): I have just added a few of the pics from the apartment, I do have more if needed. Host was iunformed - the location This apartment was not fir for purpose, the host will not give me any of the payment back. I had to leave on the 3rd day. torn soft furnishing, dirty bathroom floor, mould on bathroom walls, mould on living room curtains. painted bath with paint peeling off, little freezer box had no door and ice compacted in it. Carpet was dirty, inside kitchen cupboards laminate all peeling away. I was sold a product that was not fit for purpose. I hope Booking.com get involved with this complaint
• Mark (8/5): Enjoyed our stay - A little cleaner, lick of paint A freshing up
• Michelle (5/5): Just ok - Great location, easy to get to trains Mould on the ceiling in the bathroom, toilet didn't flush well, no doona cover provided for the sofa bed, no extra pillows provided for sofa bed, TV was old and couldn't show digital channels (big issue for Victorians trying to watch AFL in Sydney)
• Ella (5/5): Passable - I like that it is within walking distance of the sightseeing spot. The room does not feel clean when we first arrived.
• Melanie (8/5): Very good - There were a few cockroaches sharing this apartment as well as the roof top area. There was no exhaust fan in the kitchen. Did enjoy the facility and the location. Would happily stay again, though would bring bug spray.
• Suzy (7/5): Good - Loved the balcony great view A little older than expected but clean
• Richard (8/5): Very good - Good location close to train station. The apartment was comfortable, spacious, clean and had great views of the city.
• Charlotte (4/5): customer service and cleanliness should be a priority, overall pretty disappointing - locations pretty good and was easy to get into and around the area customer service was very snappy and not helpful, room itself needed more of a clean and had overall cleanliness issues that i would not expect for something of this price, such as mould on the roof of the bathrooms, stains on the kitchen counter, cracks in the door of the bathroom which also got jammed several times and was a struggle to get out of. overall expected more this was pretty disappointing
• Miriam (10/5): Excellent stay and I recommend it as it’s easy excess to all sight seeing. - Peter is an excellent host.we emailed him to see if we can enter earlier. His reply was prompt and we checked in at 9.45am instead of 2pm. Also arranged for us to have our lagguage stay in hotel till we were leaving. I cannot fault it.
• Vanessa (6/5): Pleasant - The location is great, close to shops, bus station with routes to major attractions, and walking distance to key attractions. Would be great to invest a little in better kitchenware/utensils as currently very little and in bad condition. Also, some new clothes hangers are needed.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - close to train station. easy to find, pool ,gym, sauna on rooftop amazing. great rooftop view, shops accessible, friendly helpfull staff. had to pay extra for parking, but was not aware till arrival . we had booked for 3. wish there was a single bed as sofa bed mattress not good
• Hamilton (8/5): will stay again for sure!! - loved spacious apartment! location and facilities above expectations! everything you need so close! beautiful area. loved info book needed 2 x more towels but were able to dry them :) more coffee sachets but I need strong coffee starter b4 heading out 4 espresso so no big deal. extra toilet roll but again no biggy
• Irene (1/5): Worst place ever - Nothing, it was the most horrific stay we have ever had. Please don't stay there. A shitty pub would be better. Only half decent thing was a small pool. Dirty room Mould on ceilings The so called pull out bed was not even a single bed size and dirty. Carpets stinks Broken chairs for dining room Dangerous shower Walls have not been cleaned or painted in years. The baloney couldn't be used, broken chairs on it and cockroaches all over the place. The walls were filthy. I had no sleep cause the dust, dirt,smell .I had to clean and sanitize the place first. The worst place ever and to think a two night stay cost just under $600. Not worth $20 . Honestly a tent would have been better.
• Jordan (1/5): Dont book - Nothing there was a weird smell and wet paint smell in the room which made us move from the hotel to another
• Vasley (8/5): Generally speaking-good - Location Noise of elevator
• Chris (7/5): Good - Location and room size Noise from the road and park
• Marius (7/5): Good - Great location, swimming pool and hot tub on the rooftop Very noisy, as the windows are not offering much sound proof. Also the carpet is quite old and it smells like an old place
• Liam (3/5): Poor - Location Shower was terrible and the bed had one sheet on the bottom( not a fitted sheet) and then a well used brown gross looking doona sandwiched in between another 2 thin sheets. When I spend the money I did I expect to have a bed that’s made properly with proper doona covers. Also the shower head squirted water out the sides and was extremely out dated while being so low and unadjustable that I could stand under it. I’m only 5’9 as well
• Joy (10/5): Exceptional - Situation Roomy
• Madge (9/5): Great stay. Value for money - Location was excellent. Short walk to train or bus. Room had everything we needed for an enjoyable weeks stay. Great price. Wasn't anything really. If I wanted to be picky, I would just say that the sofa bed/shower rose could do with an upgrade. Oldish room but happy and was what was expected.
• Ming-chieh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donna (6/5): Ok - The location was great There were big rips and stains in sofa cover. Curtains and windows were filthy. Bathroom was in serious need of clean up.
• Lynda (1/5): Stay away go elsewhere.. - Nothing... it was horrible Everything, DO NOT book, it is very dirty, dilapidated, our bed was collapsed and broken, can't even cook as there's no extractor fan,.. the bed was broken and collapsed in the middle, calls to the owner went unanswered, finally moved out to the main hotel
• Chloe (9/5): Superb -
• Bethany (4/5): Nice location, not the best apartment. - The property was in a great location, close to bars, restaurants and Hyde park. The apartment itself was pretty dated and tired, there were lots of cracks and marks on the walls and doors. Nothing seemed to have batteries; the aircon remote and both TV remotes didn’t work. The place was very dirty with marks on walls, ceiling, furniture and the floors. There was mould and marks in the shower and the toilet looks like it’s never been cleaned. The curtains were torn, there was dust everywhere and the aircon made loud creaking/popping noises. It boasted a view but unfortunately the only view was of the side of the building and directly into the building across.
• Pema (5/5): Passable -
• Susan (7/5): Sydney for a wedding , the apartment worked well for 3 adults !Only the bathroom let the property down!well for 3 adults - The location amazing !! Pool and gym area fabulous! The bathroom is very tired !
• Ben (3/5): Poor -
• Paul (8/5): Very good - Good location for walking to the city and public transport, good wifi. Bathroom was a bit tired.
• Rylie (5/5): It was great location, cheap stay right in the city, needs a deep clean tho and it’d be great. - The staff were helpful. Host replied quickly and gave us extra towels and blanket when we needed it. Gave us late checkout & luggage storage which helped Not very clean, beds weren’t comfy, found hair in the blankets and didn’t seem washed.. mouldy curtains and smelt of mould throughout. Could do with a deep clean and then it’d be great
• Michael (4/5): Unit needs an overhaul, repaint and major clean. The whole building is showing its age - The whole apartment needs a paint, coke stains on ceiling. Bathroom grout is filthy Cups and mugs needed cleaning prior to use. Carpet is torn and worn at lounge, layers of dust on bedhead Supposedly part of the bill is $150 for cleaning. Either this is rubbish or the cleaners are not doing their job
• Chris (8/5): Would stay again - No breakfast included but Markos restaurant in complex available breakfast lunch and dinner - great food Ecellent location good kitchen good bed Studio bit dated and sofa not comfortable but better than looked online
• Jessymaca (5/5): Passable - Big space for inner city. Pool/spa facilities were nice The bathroom was very run down and in need of a really good scrub. There is no option to hold luggage before check-in or after checkout because its a privately owned room in a hotel/apartment split building.
• Deborah (9/5): Pre cruise days - Itcwas a great location close to train station The fold out bed needs attention stained and pillows had blood stains on them. New sheets mattress needed
• Samantha (6/5): For what we needed the room for it was fine, however the room is in definite need of a spruce up. - Convenient location. Great wifi Rooftop pool facilities were fantastic. Quite run down. Definitely in need of repair. Glass on wardrobe door loose, could definitely see how someone could cut their hand on it. Bathroom quite run down Someone’s old hair on the bedding when we arrived. Patio door didn’t open the whole way. Plates/cups etc were all quite dirty. Staff at the counter were very rude when we tried to collect the keys and ask if we could leave our bags as we were early for check in.
• Reggie (8/5): It served its purpose and staff were friendly. - Convenience of location Bathroom was old and mould in shower. The shower head was nearly coming off. Kitchen is old and fridge was set to the coldest level so everything was frozen after putting food in the fridge for the day. Mattress was a bit hard for our liking.
• R (6/5): Beautiful and highly convinent location, with kind and responsive owners. Apartment is a bit dilapidated. Overall defini - Amazing location, walking distance to pretty much everything and next to some beautiful gardens and stunning buildings. Owner’s respond promptly and kindly to any queries. The apartment is dilapidated. Moldy curtains, gross bathroom (fine if you buy thongs for the shower) and dose not supply anything for tenants such as bin bags or salt and pepper.
• Rita (8/5): Very good -
• Cristina (7/5): Good -
• Helen (4/5): Disappointing - It was very central to transport and sight seeing as I had an oversees person No linen to use the couch bed- also the couch very badly stained - towels not changed at all not enough for 2 people
• Andy (7/5): Convenient kitchen facilities - located A bit smelly
• Chantel (7/5): Good - location amenities was generally a bit unclean/dusty around tv, walls, bath plug didn’t work (was looking forward to this!) Curtains were filthy/stained and need replacing
• Mallon (8/5): Great location and setup but too noisy to truly be comfortable. - Great location and size of room Street noise was incredible, even when the space was locked up. It needs to be sound proofed.
• Robert (7/5): Basic and relatively comfortable - Location and price Cleanliness dirty toilet, dust skirting and dust all over front door jam, toilet button is sticky and can stay down and waste water, having to clean up when I have to pay a cleaning fee of $140. Cookwear and appliances do the job vacuum is sticky taped, pots have burn stains, kettle top lid screw is loose, 2 broken covers for switches and one switch can't turn off
• William (5/5): Passable - Pool was nice, although this was closed on two days of our stay. Comfy bed. Good location. Pictures of the room look better than in person, was dark and dingy in the afternoons when the sun was on the wrong side. Bathroom didn't feel clean and shower is not the best.
• Joan (1/5): Okay place for half the price. Ruined our USA to Australia “trip of a lifetime. “ - Location. Closed rooftop Pool, hot tub, terrace and fitness center. Hosts knew about closure weeks ahead of time and hid it from us. Dirty. Lamps were broken and host refused to fix. 2 towels for 2 people for 5 days? A total of 4 drinking glasses of different types.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jaimole (7/5): The location is great for the price, customer service was quite slow. - Location Stained toilet, Carpet could do a bit of TLC, could provide a better bed for kids.
• Yarr (7/5): Good - I cut myself badly on the mirror on the wardrobe. Also was quite difficult trying to find where our keys were located. Also contacted people for this answer for 24 hours. My request thru email and answering machine and 2mobile phone numbers were never answered. Unfortunately very poor customer service. Location for the Sydney marathon was awesome though.
• Laurel (7/5): Great location and comfortable room but room maintenance needs attention. - Very convenient location and a bonus - great view from the top of the building. We were able to leave our bags at the Hotel for a couple of hours after check=out time. There was a blown lightbulb in the bedside lamp - there was only one bedside lamp. There was a faulty cupboard door in the kitchen above the fridge. We contacted the phone number provided for the purpose of advising such issues, but the call was never returned.
• Ryan (8/5): Awesome - Good location great price, pool and spa were awesome. Would recommend No towels available as private suite, loved our stay.
• Taylah (4/5): Disgusting. - The location is great. Easy walking to bars, transport, restaurants, and things to do. There was mould on the ceilings, the curtains looked like they haven't been washed in years, there was gunk on the tiles in the bathroom and the entire place was covered in a thin layer of dust.
• Trudy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lajos (1/5): Bad -
• Kathleen (1/5): Disgusting - Location was good. Management were helpful with giving a full refund as we refused to stay at the property. Disliked everything once we opened the door to the apartment. It was old in need of repair and upgrade. Everything was dirty. I wouldn't let my dog sleep with the bedding. Doona was all stained and bottom sheet had stains on it, looked like someone had peeded on it. Bathroom was disgusting, toilet not cleaned, enamel peeling off bath, fridge completely frozen over. Curtains all with black grease marks, couldn't see out the balcony doors or windows as so dirty. Plus you could write your name in the dust on pictures and skirting, marks all over walls, even spare linen in wardrobe was stained and disgusting. Overall a very horrible experience, plus it cost an extra $100 to book somewhere else at late notice.
• Pip (4/5): Disappointing - Location was great walking distance to everything and handy from airport. To be honest for the price paid the fact it's definitely in need of TLC not unexpected. However that's no excuse for a mouldy shower curtain, stained duvets, blanket with holes. Also there were multiple faulty light switches which are dangerous, we did not use one light. I got no response to my message about the same which was disappointing.
• Liz (1/5): Disgusting . Avoid at all costs. - Entire unit and balcony smelt like urine, wasnt cleaned, cigerette ash and butts covered balcony, bath tub was broken could not be used , booked for 2 adults 2 children only given 2 sets of cutlery, black mould in air con mould amd water damage on roof . When reported to property didnt respond until day of check out saying they will send cleaners back to clean.... which should have been happening anyway post stay
• Mostafa (10/5): I had a wonderful holiday - enjoyed with the stay - too much all good :)
• Steven (2/5): Disapointing stay - location was great the studio felt old and stale, the windows on the patio doors had not been cleaned, the bathroom had mildew in between the tiles and was not very clean, the quilt was between 2 white linen sheets , the bedding was clean
• Shaun (4/5): Needs some updating - Agent very friendly and helpful Room in need of some tlc. Bath is unuseable. Couldn't use room in daytime due to renovations ongoing in next room
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Philip (2/5): Very poor -
• Tania (10/5): Exceptional - Great location Easy walk to the city. Close to transport. Would stay again.
• Joey (2/5): never again - nothing really was absolutely filthy, mould on the shower curtain, black marks all over the curtains in the room, carpet was all stained the plates and bowls were dirty the whole experience, we had to go and buy our own toilet paper as we where told they didn’t supply any
• Andres (8/5): Good - I like the facilities, I like the location of the private apartment. I lost the room keys (the next day I found it at my job), it was around 8 pm, I got a reply by call but the only option that they gave was a call to the locksmith (It's expensive), everyone is at risk to lost the keys and it will be great if, in the hotel, they got a copy or be able to open the room, fortunately, I got a place to stay (friend).
• Gillan (7/5): All in all a very pleasant stay, great location and brilliant value for money. - Pool and spa where fantastic. Great location. The bathroom needs an update. Outdoor setting was not very comfortable to sit in for more than just a morning coffee.
• Amy (8/5): Very good -
• Christine (9/5): Good location and accommodation acceptable for price paying. Though not aware the accommodation was privately maintained - The location Dirty windows and skirting boards
• Pal (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janet (8/5): Very good - It's was ok The traffic noice
