Stayed here over the weekend. The greatest room with balcony was awesome. The room, bed, and bathroom were clean; view was terrific. The internet bandwidth was amazing! Super fast for uploading and downloading data (>100 Mbps for both). Friendly staff as well! The only issue is the AC in the room can be noisy sometimes. Overall, great experience.
Paid for a “Greatest” room with balcony. Apparently was the best (most expensive) room in the building. All the curtains were broken there was rubbish under the bed and on the floor when we checked In. The neighbouring room next to us was a smoker, and the stench went into our room all though smoking is not allowed, staff did nothing. The cleaning was once a week and “cleaning” is a strong word, the bathroom was never cleaned I’m pretty sure. The maintenance people have no idea what they are doing they just bang on your door and try to fix the issue. $840 a week! I wouldn’t waste your time. Don’t be sold the lie like I was.
The Initial impression was good, the show rooms were clean and modern and the sales assistant was very friendly and helpful as was the lady at the bar, we signed up for a 2 week stay (at $870 per week inc Parking) with the intention to stay longer if we liked the property. After the 2 weeks we were glad it was over and WON’T be going back for several reasons. The 1 Kitchen with 1 Fridge/Freezer and 1 washing machine and dryer for ALL the apartments on levels 5, 6 and 7 to share was extremely insufficient. The Fridge and freezer were jammed packed full, the washer and dryer were always in use. Our apartment had 6 maintenance issues in the 2 weeks. After a few days they were fixed. You’re not allowed to change the temperature of your air conditioning as it’s centrally locked/controlled for some reason, when we got there, it was on 32!! We asked for it to turn down then a day later they changed it to 16!! and two days later, it was adjusted to 22. The bathroom cleaning was very very average (hair from previous guests, marks on walls and the balcony obviously hasn’t been cleaned in months) they also only give you 1 toilet roll a week… The onsite restaurant has been closed for months and they don’t know when it’ll reopen. Other guests smoke on their balcony’s and it gets sucked into the rooms via the A/C. Maintenance guys were also extremely rude every interaction we had with them. Calling the “24/7” reception after hours was always very difficult, most times I have gave up, the one time I waited it took 27 minutes for the call to be answered. Overall it was a very disappointing stay and we feel like we were sold a lie for $870 a week.
Stayed there in the greatest room for a week. Cozy & spacious room with a comfortable bed. The laundry didn't function well sometimes. Customer service was good.
Overall I had a positive experience staying here for 10 nights. The room was clean and well equipped. There is a great pool and gym that residents can use. The common areas are nice and kept clean. Most staff were friendly and welcoming. The area is also nice and it’s close to public transport. On the downside, the kitchens are tiny and not fit for purpose. The air con in the rooms is also poor and you will have very limited control over it.
Stayed here for 3 weeks in the greater room. Would have given 5 stars if not the issues with the rooms. In the first one I checked in at the arrival, the aircon was not working. The staff was very helpful and relocated me to another room, but this other room had serious leakages on the windows when it was raining and I was living with towels all around windows during these 3 weeks. Otherwise this place is a bang for buck. Their gym is well equipped and clean, the internet is stable, and the greater rooms are spacious and have plenty of storage. I would suggest getting your own ergonomic chair and a small foldable table if you are intended to work all day from home (that's what I did - see the photos). The ones they have are not really convenient for sitting all day. I saw some other reviewers complained about getting their deposit back. I did not have any issues with that whatsoever. I checked out in the morning, filled out the security deposit form, and saw the return already pending on my bank account at 1pm the same day. Generally, I found that staff is really friendly, prompt, and helpful, keep up the great work! The Yard eatery is a-ok, but not amazing. I tried a few mains and did not like them very much (e.g. the fries are really fatty), ended up going out for lunch and dinner.
