MOHAMMED

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was not a good experience. The unit was old and musty. Bathroom light was not working and multiple other issues were noted once we settled in. We were travelling with 3 kids and came off a long flight . They did not have any other unit avaliable till another 2 hours for an exchange. I did not get what i paid for. I am requesting a partial refund. The pictures i saw on expedia and the age of the apartments and amenities i received were worlds apart. Would never come to this property and would urge others not to book. It is absolute cheating. I never give good or bad reviews but this one truly brought me to the edges.

Very nice and large apartment. The ONLY disappointments were: I had to request a trash receptacle for the kitchen since the one in the bathroom was only one provided; I had to request a kitchen towel; and the bathroom sink remained plugged for the entire stay despite requesting maintenance.

Short stay

We arrived early (10:30 am)after getting off a cruise ship. We were able to store our luggage until checkin. We arrived back at 2pm for checkin. The room wasn't ready yet. We waited about twenty more minutes. Rooms are clean and have a few supplies (like dish soap) so you don't have to purchase everything for a short stay. We needed to print up a document. The clerk had us email it to him and then delivered it to our room. Checkout was smooth and the clerk called a cab for us.

Everything was great, room was clean, employees at the front desk were always very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Sydney. It was close to the train station and walkable to the wharf and surrounding areas of interest. Loved it.
