Guest Reviews
- rachel (8/5): Had a lovely time - host was very helpful - In a lovely hotel, great location. Decor a bit dated. Walls had peeling paint. No duvet covers just 2 sheets on either side of duvet - found this very unhygienic. Room a bit small for a family of 4 2 adults & 2 kids. Was great size though for just 2 adults
- Nicola (3/5): very average - location great, couldn't contact the host no one called me back was very noisy could not have the windows open at night there was a roof top bar across the road, very loud.
Bathroom tap dripped all night
- Craig (1/5): Don’t even consider it - Location was fine Black mould in the apartment, host entered property with no notification, broken cabinets, warped flooring, dusty, some lights not working. Lack of regard for health and safety or security. Neighbours also smoke weed in their flat. Pictures posted are dated and not entirely correct.
- Jo (5/5): Good location. Good sized apartment. Nice views across Hyde park. - Great location. Nice to have the pool, spa and sauna facilities. Good size apartment.Nice to have a washing machine. Good views Overall condition of apartment very dated and in need to be refurbished . Bathroom very old and bath in need of replacement. Duvet inners and pillows need replaced. Windows have some weird film over them that’s peeling which takes away from the view's.
- Liam (8/5): -
- pin-yu (4/5): - 地點很方便 這次入住3人住3天,但設備很不ok, 熱水壺內部已經焦黑,鍋子也已經刮傷
備品少的可憐,盥洗用品洗髮精沐浴乳只給試用品大小一份,廁所衛生紙只有2捲(也不是完整的份量)到3天已經沒有可用,客廳廚房也沒有紙巾可用。
- David (3/5): -
- Dela Cruz (5/5): -
- Bev (7/5): Nice apartment great value and great location - Great location Little bit outdated
- Huong Ngoc (7/5): I hope I come next time more upgrades - Good location Fan in bathroom very noisy, a sink too high
- Rhiannon (3/5): -
- Kathrynn (7/5): -
- Carl (5/5): -
- Tech huor (7/5): S'est bien passé - L'emplacement Le bruit dans le couloir
- Kate (5/5): Our stay was ok - The bed was uncomfortable and the room needed a paint. Shower average. Shower screen ripped.
The lady at reception was not friendly and did an average job.
Felt like we paid way too much for the room!
- Xiang (8/5): -
- Navaneeth (6/5): Enjoyed the ease of reaching to different locations from the appartments. Bed was good. Carpet a bit smelly. Booked for - Location, convenience and accessibility No interest on smart TV. Reported no action.
- akane (7/5): -
- Tracy (5/5): Great location and if you don’t mind noise at night this could be a great place to stay to explore Sydney - The property was in a good location, close to train station and bus routes The property had everything we needed but was a little tired in areas. The road outside was very noisy all through the night.
- CLAUDIA (1/5): Substandard accomodation, Avoid apartments managed by a 3rd party - Location *Pillows were yellow stained.
*Single bed was probably broken so you sink against the wall.
*The sofa bed was super uncomfortable and noisy so we had to sleep on the floor.
*The bathroom tap was loose
*The bath looked dirty.
*The Apartment was private apparently managed by World apartments so Oaks didn't hold our luggage in the reception at check out like most properties.
- Baiba (8/5): - Atrašanās vieta Dažas sadzīviskas lietas, bet atrašnās vieta atsver visu.
- Deeanne (10/5): -
- John (9/5): Good value stay near to stations and the park. - Good location close to train station and attractions. Spacious apartment and nice roof top pool, spa and sauna. Noisy air conditioner when turned on. Food odour on entry, TV remote controller broken at the back. Burnt cigarette mark on small dining table, a few dining chair legs appear loose,patches of cracked paint marks on wall eg near closet, mold looking blind by the shower, kitchen faucet is loose.
- MAES (7/5): - La réception n'a pas voulu garder mon bagage quelques heures en attendant mon vol pour que je puisse faire une dernière balade.
- Sunjna (4/5): -
- Shorrock (10/5): - Great location, central station close by, through the park to Pitt Street shopping and Oxford Street across the road so convenient and we love the pool on the roof and the views Bathroom was a little outdated but really nice unit in great spot
- Cheryl (2/5): Old and disgusting - The location was good. Yuk. The photos are a dishonest reflection of what you are getting. Same reviews for over a year and nothing has changed. The bathroom does not need refreshing like it was written in relation to a review comment, it needs ripping out and replacing. There are so many cracked mouldy tiles, it's disgusting. The bath is no longer white, it's yellow and the tap dripped non stop. We put a bath mat in the bath to use it. We have used cleaner bathrooms in free camping spots. The toilet had a smell due to stains in the bowl and its age. The pillows are so flat that they are like pancakes. There was no tumble dryer like advertised and the air dryer provided was broken and almost unusable. The sofa bed was old, noisy and beyond its use by date. Would not recommend this place at all. Photos attached to give people updated and honest photos to go by.
- Gemma-Lee (7/5): - Location Remote control for television was broken and very hard to use
- Allan (4/5): Disappointed - Location Rooms
Not clean
Air cond old and leaking
- laurence (5/5): Rapport qualité prix trop élevé. A revoir. - Bon emplacement, central et à distance très correcte pour tout faire à pieds si on veut aller dans le CBD, ou autour. Très bien desservi en moyens de transport. Malheureusement le personnel qu'il nous arrive de croiser n'a rien d'aimable. Distant, limite désagréable. Bâtiment vieux, appartement vieux, lits pas confortables du tout. Aucune possibilité de laisser les bagages même 1 journée au départ.
- Lisa (6/5): - The location The noise of the fan, the air con not working, the paint pealing off the walls.
- Shevaun (7/5): - Great location, right near bus stop for easy access to circular quay. Beds comfortable, great facilities (pool/spa/gym) on rooftop Bathroom very outdated and difficult to have a proper shower without getting water everywhere.
- Melanie (1/5): -
- Julie (6/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): -
- Katrina (6/5): We had a good stay and busy most days so we weren’t at the unit much. - It was a great area. Lots of walking to get to circular key and darling harbour. The unit needs a refurb. Paint peeling of the walls, bathroom old and the blind in the bathroom was dirty, cracked bathroom door, wardrobe dusty, spare doona dirty and stained.
- Joanna (8/5): -
- John (7/5): - Location was great. All amenities were in working order. Cosy place. My daughter enjoyed the view. The bed was nice and firm, thankfully. Over all stay was nice considering it was my first bnb experience. We had no contact with provider, a quick hello would of made it a bit more personal but I did reach out to confirm stay and had a good conversation. The shower head water pressure was terrible, liken it to a hose dribbling water out. So after a long day of walking around, couldn't really finish the day with a nice hot shower, also was dripping.The room could of used a little TLC as there was some damage to door and walls but it wasn't bad. If the shower water pressure and shower head were good, the stay would of been almost perfect.
- Selena (9/5): - close
to everything trains supermarkets foods parks
- Tamila (3/5): Don't stay here - The swimming pool, sauna, and gym.
The location to everything in the city like the Sealife Aquarium and the supermarket was 2 2-minute walk away. The fire alarm beeped continuously the second we walked into our room.
I called the number in the brochure as they say we can't speak to the hotel for anything after the key is picked up. The property management said they wouldn't fix it and to go speak to the hotel service desk anyway. Hotel workers didn't want to help at first but I begged them as we were staying for 3 nights and they eventually came to the room. Their maintenance team doesn't work on the weekend so the advice they gave was to advise the property management that I was taking the battery out of the alarm even though that's unsafe. I messaged them and let them know and had ZERO response.
It had a mouldy bathroom sink, the blind and the roof, yellow disgusting pillows, aircon was insanely loud so it couldn't be used.
The fold-out bed is still uncomfortable to sleep on even after numerous reviews with complaints. All of my other complaints numerous people have complained about too and nothing has been done to rectify anything.
You hear every time the neighbour above makes noise from them having adult fun and their bed bangs on the floor. Also every time a door shuts in other rooms down the hallway so sleep isn't peaceful.
Random amounts of cutlery and crockery.
Not enough milk or sugar for the coffee and tea provided.
The TV remote is still broken so the battery falls out a lot.
They say not to move any furniture but clearly it has to be so the fold-out bed and table can be functional.
I'd really like a percentage of what I paid back as I would never have stayed there if I knew none of the things they've been told to be fixed had been even attempted to be fixed or made healthy enough for people to stay in the apartment.
- Jessica (7/5): -
- Michelle (3/5): Uncomfortable - Great Location No hot water
Some Lights not working
Bed configuration incorrect
Reception staff dismissive
- Dianne (7/5): - The view Finding things under the bed and chair
- Cristina (7/5): Contents! - La situació, la facilitat de check-in, els serveis. La cortina de la dutxa estava bruta i la banyera en general estava bastant deteriodara. Ens faltava una cadira.
- Kimberly (7/5): -
- Henrica Maria (7/5): - Locatie dicht bij centrum en hydepark was perfect.
Gym, zwembad en Jacuzzi op het dak was ook perfect.. Slaapbank lag niet echt lekker. Er was alleen een houten snijplank, niet erg hygiënisch met vlees snijden. Badkamer was gedateerd.
Je hoort de deuren goed dichtvallen.
- Deki (10/5): -
- Julie Meldrum (4/5): Fantastisk beliggenhed og pools. - Beliggenheden, pools, vaskemaskine og køkkenfaciliteter. Lejligheden var nedslidt og rengøringen var ikke tip top.
Vi lagde et ekstra lang på sengen, da der ikke var en topmadras. Vattæppet havde pletter og det vaskede vi.
- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Karen (7/5): Value for money, great location, clean, bathroom dated & needs an exhaust fan, perfect for our needs -
- Johan (10/5): Exceptional - It was very central and convenient.
Also, they allowed me to have a check in earlier. Super clean and it is what is offered
- Alzbeta (8/5): Despite these minor issues, we really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and will definitely book it again next time we’r - I liked the location and setup, especially having a small kitchen, fridge, washing machine, hairdryer, drying racks, TV, spa, swimming pool, and gym. All for really great value. I wasn’t a fan of the shower curtain—it could be replaced at a low cost. I would also consider changing the kitchen chairs to something easier to move and that can be pushed under the table. The air conditioner was a bit noisy. Spare blankets and pillows might need replacing, and a couple of missing plates could be added.
These are just small suggestions the owner might not be aware of, and they can be easily fixed.
- Kerrie (8/5): Very good -
- Shane (7/5): Good - Proximity to museum train station, pool and spa very good Communication after booking , bathroom shower needs improvement
- Oscar (3/5): Bad - The location Hello, first I want to say that it's too dirty, I don't recommend it. Too much dust everywhere. The bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. There were used soaps under the sink. The air conditioning doesn't work, neither does the TV.
- Lee (8/5): Stay was fantastic except for the street noise which made it very hard to sleep - Fantastic location Very very noisy
- Chris (9/5): Great location roomy apartment - Keys were made available well before designated check in which was much appreciated
- Munkhtuya (8/5): Very good - Location
- Paul (9/5): Perfect location for needs, Pool etc better than expected. Great communication from World Apartments - Ready in envelope, no fuss. The building managemnet team, some were rude. Note they are not the property managers.
- Tracey (5/5): Great location. Ideal for a small group who can achieve the value for money. - I liked the location. The hot water pressure was amazing. There was even a glimpse of water view. The traffic noise didn't work for me.
- Paolo (2/5): Very poor - Location Poorly maintained needing lots of repairs and updates.
- Bhavik (9/5): Superb - Apt was clean, well furnished (though a bit old) and best part is its location. It is just 2mins walk from Museum station and all bus transit. Roof top common pool and spa very amazing with the city view. We also enjoyed apt gallery view and spent our family evening and late night time.
Apt manager also helped, with securing our luggage before checkin and after checkout to building storage area, better to reserve a day before to secure your request. Only to add as a matter of adding. Apt Sofa seems dirty and old. Dining chairs are risky to fall apart.
- Calista (7/5): Good - Great location, very central and easy to get to all the sites. Included basic kitchenware for making meals and a washing machine with detergent for doing laundry. Bedroom was off a big street so the traffic/sirens/weekend-partygoers could be loud at night. Owners didn’t supply enough toiletries for the length of our stay and didn’t respond to messages in a timely way when we asked about it.
- Abbey (5/5): Passable -
- Bindyg (8/5): Very good - The location was great
Staff and host were very accommodating and helpful The bathroom was "scody"
Mould in the corners, cracked tiles, paint chipping off all around the shower.
In general, it needs a good freshen up.
- Thakshine (7/5): It is close to Hyde park so for the price it seems reasonable. We were surprised to find the hotel was managed by someon - It was in a decent area and had access to most of the places we wanted to head to. Well the couch bed was really uncomfortable. It seemed like it could break if there’s too much movement or weight.
- Grace (3/5): Good location but absolutely not worth the money - It was close to everything The hallway stank
We had to make up a bed
Bathroom was really dated
Confusion on collecting the key and it wasn’t ready
- Kim (5/5): Passable - Good location Cleanliness of room - walls and aircon vents filfthy. Bathroom mouldy.
Dirty sheets still on fold out bed. Bed bases torn amd exposed.
- Kahlee (5/5): Could have been a bit cheaper for the experience we had, supposed you’d get your moneys worth - Location was great staff were friendly, pool and rooftop was amazing Our room was disgusting dirty, walls were not clean, bathroom was tidy but could tell it needed a deep clean, our bedroom was not clean, we found a previous persons used underwear in the room, sliding glass doors were extremely dirty, our level had a lingering cigarette smell
- Vanesa (8/5): Very good -
- Rachel (7/5): Good - Spa was amazing, Bed very comfortable
Walk in was straight forward No netflix for tv when controls have netflix on them so wifi only on devixes,, towels only 2 standard thin towel, no small bowls for cereal
No shower curtain, receptions will not help anyone in private appartments
Place smelt like damp wet smell
- Darren (2/5): Very poor -
- Chloe (7/5): Good - Nice spa/sauna on the roof and heated pool in a good location. The walls were really thin and heard everything. Property could do with updating no natural light in the living room and just a bit awkward layout, especially if using the sofa bed. Also, there is no bag storage as it's privately owned and not part of the actual hotel.
- Roxane (8/5): Very good - location
affordability
- Elaine (7/5): Good -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (7/5): Good -
- Br (8/5): Very good -
- Katja (8/5): Very good -
- Ghislaine (9/5): Superb - Location is amazing
- Monique (8/5): Very good -
- Travis (8/5): Great location for a city break - Easy access to train station, and in a nice location next to the park
- David (9/5): Superb - Only thing was the cold tap in the shower falls off
- Leesa (2/5): Good location. Not in a rush to go back though. - Good location The pillows need replacing. There were stains on the sheets. Shower was terrible.
- Fiona (7/5): great location - location was excellent No left luggage facilities, we did manage to leave out luggage for a charge close by
- Hillman (10/5): Exceptional - We will stay again in this place. This place nice, near to grocery store, train station, bus stop, and restaurants.
- Ruokolahti (9/5): Superb - The location was great and easy to find. The flat was well suited for two to three people. The only thing we found lacking was that even though there were extra pillows and blankets and a pullout couch there were no spare sheets for said couch
- Simon (8/5): Great location for a family trip. - Location was amazing. Pool, sauna, hot tub were great. Window tint needs replacing. Sofa bed uncomfortable.
- Shirsat (10/5): Excellent - Very prime location! There is every kind of
Public transport available at your doorstep and shops and restaurants in close vicinity. The room itself was spacious and well stocked with all essentials for our stay. The host was friendly and accommodating to our request for changes to the check-in and check-out times. Overall
It was a great experience. There is nothing that I did not like about the property. However, having room service to clean the room and change the towels and provide more toilet paper would make it even better, but it's fine as it is.
- Annika (6/5): Great location but cleanliness could be improved. - It’s a great location and the views are nice. Super close to Sydney CBD and public transport. Easy check in. The bathroom was quite dirty, and so were the windows which took away from the stunning view.
- Thai (7/5): Good location but average quality of accomodation facilities - Very good location, near public tranport station, beautiful view to Hyde park Accomodation facilities were quite outdated, not similar to photos on website, utensils were not good (pots and pans are burnt, maybe due to previous customers), sofa bed was quite weak, they have changed the new one on the day we leaved. We were at 7th floor so it was a bit noisy cause the apartment is near the crossroads.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Chang (6/5): Pleasant -
- Stelzer (9/5): Superb -
- Aleksandar (6/5): Not really like in the pictures - The location was great. Easy check-in and check-out procedures, good building with a sauna and pool at the top floor (although the building's corridors don't look very appealing). The view from the apartment would also be great if the wide windows were not so dirty as to obstruct the view. Very dirty windows, not a very good shower, mediocre/basic furniture. Definitely doesn't look as good as in the pictures.
- 黃 (10/5): Exceptional - Everything NA
- Soraya (9/5): Superb -
- Lynnette (2/5): We didn’t stay - The amount of mould on shower curtain. And the cobwebs in babies cot
- Jun (3/5): Poor -
- Nila (4/5): Disappointing - The location was good. Not enough toilet paper for 5 people
No enough soap 🧼 shampoo.
