Excellent room
Staff extremely helpful and pleasant
Well stocked spacious apartment with great view of the river. Conveniently positioned close to shopping centre. Modern appliances and well maintained. Minor issues were, strictly only one room access card allowed, which can be inconvenient with two people, and no shelves in the cupboard. Otherwise recommended.

Exceeded my expectations, the check in was good, they even helped with list of restaurant suggestions in the local area. The room was clean and everything was in good condition. The room was a good size and well laid out
We had a large spacious suite with an extensive balcony area. The staff were very nice and an issue with a tripped fuse was fixed quickly. However over the six nights the room was serviced once and we had to ask for supplies.
Nice property. Our instructions were clear as we had a late arrival due to train delays. Room was clean and cool. The accommodation is close to the shops and a walking track that lead you to the Botanic Gardens. Great rooms, and rhe staff were lovely and helpful as we left our bags with reception after our checkout. Great place to stay and very welcoming city.

The blinds in lounge room were mouldy, floor was a bit sticky to walk on and the shower screen in the bedroom was soap scummy. Some dishes were dirty. TV controls for the bedroom were on top of switchboard cabinet instead of on the side table in bedroom. The apartment was very comfortable and roomy. We had a good night sleep.

It was a modern Apartment, it was cosy and comfy. The Furniture showed a bit use. Nevertheless, the view of the Pioneer River was great. Also I did get help after late arrival. I had some issues with the check in.

There was a bad smell in main Bathroom, very strong,
The main Bedroom A/C didn’t get cold. The other rooms a/c good.
Stain on floor & wall.
The picture of the kitchen they show with IPad not true & bathroom amenities with L’occitane Not true.
Other then that close to Canland shopping centre & eateries you can walk too.

I didn’t think to choose non smoking because I didn’t think any shared accommodation allowed it anymore. The floors were sticky, it wreaked, there was tar on almost every surface. It was a bit more run down than it looked on pics. Some of the kitchen utensils were old and scratched up. The service was friendly though and the building easy to access.

Couldn’t find purse tried to ring numerous times gave up arrived before reception closed. Receptionist lovely. Easy check in. Room comfortable had all we needed. Rooftop area an added bonus for view. Check out smooth. Then another phone call stating couldn’t find keys same lady as day before

Comfort at a price - since we last stayed, they have implemented a car parking charge probably to pay for the cost of the new door locks that the receptionist took pains to tell us had been out in recently,
We were even told that although the tea and coffee were complimentary, we would t be able to get any more !
Should have been wonderful quality for that but only mediocre.
Good standard of cleanliness except for the rusty very very small pedal bins to service the room - they obviously only have us enough teabags so that we didn’t overflow the bins!!
