Ok but tired

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Sept 2024via mobile
A wonderful location which is super close to all the restaurants however the rooms are very tried.

They are definitely in need of an upgrade. Chipped paint, marks and stains on walls, carpet and furniture.
Cold tap in the shower wouldn’t work properly so the shower was either arctic or boiling.

The bathrooms have the large soap/shampoo bottles, which I would prefer to have sealed mini for hygiene reasons.

I was only there for one night and didn’t make use of the kitchen, lounge/tv ect so I can’t comment on that.

Friendly staff.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our excellent location and the friendly service from our staff. Being so close to a variety of restaurants and attractions is a highlight for many of our guests, and we're pleased to know it was convenient for your stay.

We acknowledge your comments regarding the condition of the rooms and are actively working with the property owners to address these issues. Over the past few years, we have made significant improvements, such as installing new Sealy Plush beds, refurbishing the lifts, and updating the carpeting in both rooms and corridors. However, we recognize there is still more to be done, particularly in addressing areas such as chipped paint, furniture, and plumbing concerns, and these are part of our ongoing refurbishment plans.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the cold tap in the shower and will have our maintenance team look into this issue immediately to ensure that it’s resolved for future guests.

Regarding the large bathroom soap and shampoo bottles, we’ve transitioned to this system as part of our eco-friendly initiative to reduce single-use plastics. We understand your preference for sealed miniatures, but these are avaialble at reception if this is what you require and we will take your comments into account as we continue to evaluate the guest experience.

Thank you once again for your review and for highlighting areas where we can improve. We’re committed to enhancing our facilities and hope that you’ll consider staying with us again in the future to experience the improvements firsthand.

Best regards,

Chose place as a last minute thing.
Location was good.
Place was not overly clean but seemed neat. Balustrade for mezzanine & stairs did not seem to comply, kids could fall through the (2x 400mm spaced) rails.
It seemed like the window was left open, it was noisy as can be all night. At one stage we checked to see if the window was open about 5 times, not believing that it was allowing that much noise through.
It is close to most things, so if you are there to party, probably not an issue, but if you need to get your head down after driving for a number of hours during the day, go some where else quieter.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you appreciated the convenient location and cleanliness of our apartments, as well as the value we aim to provide.

Regarding the noise, we would like to highlight that our lower floor apartments are equipped with double-glazed windows to help minimize external sounds. On the higher floors, our two-story windows open out to showcase the magnificent views of Darling Harbour, offering a unique experience. We understand noise can sometimes be a concern, and we appreciate your comments. For a quieter stay, our team is always happy to assist with room selection based on your preferences.

In terms of safety, we appreciate your observation regarding the balustrade. We make it clear in all our media that these apartments are not suitable for small children due to the mezzanine design. However, we do offer alternative accommodations across the road at Metro Apartments on King Street, which are single-level apartments, child-friendly, and even feature a rooftop pool—an ideal option for families.

We value your feedback on our room rates, and I’d like to assure you that we maintain competitive pricing with similar properties in the area.

Thank you once again for your review, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more tailored experience.

We’re delighted to hear that you found our location to be perfect and that you enjoyed the comfort of our rooms. However, we are very sorry to learn about the cleanliness issues you encountered. This is certainly not the standard we aim to uphold.

We appreciate your candid comments regarding the carpet and floor condition. Please rest assured that we take such feedback seriously. We have already scheduled a thorough deep cleaning of the room in question to address these concerns. Moving forward, we are also reinforcing our cleaning procedures to ensure that all rooms meet our high standards of cleanliness.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to experience the improvements firsthand.

Best regards,

I do not recomend this place, looks like they do not check what is not working or broken. Maybe they just do not want spend money to fix things or do not care at all about their rooms.
