We stayed there 4 weeks in July. This apartment (had 2 bedrooms, lounge with kitchen) was dark, very humid, bad ventilation. Home electronics looks very old. If they say, that weekly cleaning is foe on Thursday from 9-11.00. Then just don’t be surprised, if change your clothes at 10.00 or you have important phone call, they definitely will enter, cleaning team with 3 or 4 people, and they start to change the bed and clean. And better don’t disturb with your visit or phone call reception, because they have so much work, that you are not welcome.
Probably you know that it is located in very noisy experience, opposite of the street is PA Hospital and helicopters are there very often and they really shake houses.
I have travelled a lot, but never had so bad experience.

These apartments are located adjacent to the Princess Alexandra apartments and are clean and functional. If you need to be near the PA hospital then this is practical but BEWARE the phone charges they charge customers are in excess of $1.25 per minute and there is no notice advising customers of these high rates - we got slugged with a phone charge bill of close to $46 for 2 local and 5 STD phone calls. When I complained to Mgt they told me I'm the first to ever complain and that the phone rates will be increasing on 1st July 2011 to help absorb costs so beware if you stay here use your mobile it will be cheaper.

Firstly I will start my review by stating the purpose of my stay here was not for a relaxing holiday. The apartments are located directly across the road from the PA hospital in Brisbane on the Ipswich road. The apartments are not noisy and you can get a good nights sleep. We chose to stay here primarily to visit an ill relative at the hospital. We stayed for 3 nights and have to say that our stay was comfortable and we were happy. From the time I made my enquiry to the time we checked out the service from the helpful staff was excellent. We needed an immediate booking due to the fact a relative had been rushed to the PA and requested a 2 bedroom apartment but unfortunately these were all full but the lady on reception kindly offered to add an extra bed to the one bedroom apartment to accommodate us all. They did not charge for the extra bed for the youngest child. When we arrived the room was clean, and comfortable. The apartments have an older section facing the Ipswich road and newer apartments towards the back. The lower apartments have a small courtyard. Although our room was older and could have had a few items renewed the facilities provided were all adequate. Ie, a kitchen with full oven and fridge, cooking utensils, a shower, washing machine and clothes dryer, clean linen, air con, TV, table and chairs and a roomy balcony with clothesline. There is secured basement parking and also a number of parks on site near the newer block. There is also a common garden area with outdoor table and a BBQ. There is no pool. There seemed to be a number of people staying here that were on holidays, given the affordable price and the fact that it is located so close to the city. The new clem 7 tunnel (city bypass) is very close to the apartments so if you needed to get to northern brisbane it only takes a few minutes and avoids an awful lot of traffic. Public bus access is at your door and the apartments would make suitable accommodation for those not wishing to stay directly in the city. There are a number of good affordable takeaway restaurants within a couple of minutes walk, so too is a Burandah shopping centre. There is a woolworths, target and numerous specialty shops and ATM's here. Wifi is available for a fee. There are also business facilities, foxtel and breakfast is available at an adjoining cafe. There are also apartments for disabled guests.
