Comfy beds, walking distance to restaurants and the city, spacious. My only feedback is to put blockout curtains on the bedroom windows, and a blind on the windows in the ensuite as the outside lights shine in all night, and the sun wakes you up around 4.30am in the mornings. Another suggestion is to put a door on the ensuite entry as it is currently all open, with no privacy, and the smells come into the bedroom.

Great Apartment
The apartment is very clean and spacious. Secure access, need a swipe pass to access the building. Beds are comfortable, kitchen well equipped and the laundry in a separate room opposed to being in the bathroom. I will definitely book again.

I took my suitcase to the car at 9:40am and came back to the apartment. I couldn't use the card key. Already blocked!! The check-out time is 10:00am. It's too early to block the key. Besides that, close to restaurants,pubs,a convenient store and the stadium.

Booking this property for 5 nights I wanted breakfast included. All printed confirming that it was included. Arriving for breakfast to be rudely told it wasn't included at that price.if I had known before I wouldn't have booked. Be very careful. Manager would not even speak with us.

We were very disappointed to be charged a cleaning fee when we left the room clean and tidy. No feedback just sent an email with a cleaning invoice and funds debited from our account. Particularly disappointing when the oven didn’t work for 4 days and we were very accommodating on our last day to have the stove replaced which was very inconvenient and the installation woke our sleeping child when we were assured it would be a quiet process. It all left a bitter taste in our mouths.

UNCAPPED HYPODERMIC NEEDLE found behind bed head while my child was feeling around for a power point. Rubbish in-between couch cushions. Not offered a refund. Moved to other facility across the road where there were unemptied bins and the room keys stopped working in the morning. Lots of noise from street also. Offered free breakfast after finding the needle and having to move, which I declined. I had already been advised on check in that I would need to pay for breakfast if I wanted it, even though I had opted for 'breakfast included' in my Wotif search. Read the fine print after choosing this option!

Apartment was very good, comfortable beds, very clean. Parking was very tight, but we managed. Only complaint I have is that this website advertised and took our money for breakfast, and didn’t advise our accommodation. I had to show the photos of our booking to get breakfast that was advertised as included. NOT the first time this has happened to us. Copy all booking inclusions so you can prove what you paid for.

I liked the facilities in the room like the kitchem, dryer and washing machine and that fact that we were able to park our car downstairs in a secure location. The room was very spacious and we had a great view of Castle Hill from our room. The only negative comment I have is about the breakfast menu (room service) the food arrived cold and didnt taste good.
