PERFECT LOCATION ON THE STRAND. STUDIO APARTMENT WAS VERY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT WE GOT. CUTLERY AND CROCKERY WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR TWO PEOPLE. MICROWAVE NEXT TO THE SINK, VERY UNSAFE. BINS HAD NOT BEEN EMPTIED FROM PREVIOUS TENANTS. NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE MICROWAVE AND TV. WE WERE DESPERATE WITH ONLY TWO PROPERTIES AVAILABLE ON DAYS WE NEEDED.

Disgusting

We booked a 3 night stay but left after 1. (Would have left straight away but couldn’t secure alternative accommodation due to football match in town) Room 28 was disgusting. We stepped over cigarette butts, macadamia nut shells and rubbish to get in the front door. The lounge chair was horrendous. It was filthy and had a sheet of plywood underneath the cushions. The curtains were filthy. There was gaffe tape on the floor holding the lino down. The fan looked like it would fall out of the ceiling at any time. The pillow protector was yellow with stains. The place was awful. Definitely would NOT RECOMMEND.

A photo or 3 can be deceiving

The Website photos certainly make the appearance better than it was. There are a lot of rooms, but hardly any with balconies or views. I wouldn’t stay there again, the whole place needs a lot of work and Maintinance.

Very poor experience. Place was dirty, hallways and adjoining room under renovation or gutted. Stained walls and furniture and mould on ceilings in both bedrooms. A roach dropped out of one of the towels when one was opened. Fan and aircon didn't work in the living room nor the dust encrusted exhaust fan in bathroom. We called to report this and no one got back to us. Only positives were the location is on the Strand and the bed was comfortable.
