“Great value and good location with a car”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

The apartment was clean, tidy, dated but what we needed for the time we were there. Staff were friendly and check in was reasonably quick. They are serviced apartments and get a clean every day. The only hiccup was that we weren't equipped with a "do not disturb" sign as we didn't always want a clean! If you're in Canberra... More

We spent almost a week here with our baby, but had to change rooms mid-stay due to how hot the room was. This was a hot, humid spell, but no excuse for how hot the room was! You can, however, open the windows which for me is a big advantage. There is ac,but it's in the lodge area of the... More

“Noise”

Reviewed 15 March 2013

Stayed here recently in THAT room next to the office. Roomy but expensive, though everything in Canberra is overpriced. My complaint is re the washing machine. The communal washing machine/dryer room has a sign restricting usage to between 9am and 7pm, from memory. Some clown either next to us (not the office!) or above us had their washing machine going...

Hi Tom, I am sorry that your sleep was disturbed by the actions of another guest. I take your comment on board and in the next run of our compendium will add the advisory note that washing machines in rooms should be used only during socially acceptable hours in line with the public laundry hours. As you observed however it... More

“Tired Complex”

Reviewed 12 February 2013

We stayed here for 3 nights. While it was comfortable, with undercover parking and excellent staff however the complex is probably more than 10 years old and is quite tired. It is badly in need of refurbishment, especially the fixtures and fittings. The location was good for us as it is close to the Dickson shops and we were visiting... More

“Not 4 Star & very small”

Reviewed 7 August 2012 via mobile

We hired a one bedroom apartment as we were staying with our 9 year old daughter (advertised as suitable for 3 adults). We actually got a very small studio apartment (beds, sofa, fridge, TV all in the same room). Very low ceilings, tiny bathroom and absolutely not suitable for 3 people - especially since we were staying 3 nights. Rooms... More
