  : This apartment hotel is in an excellent location, in a side street opposite World Square shopping centre. Koreatown, Thaitown and Chinatown are all nearby, so there are lots of good dining options. Oxford Street and Surry Hills area are a 10 minute walk away, and Museum train station five minutes. The room and bathroom is a decent size and there was a balcony.
  : The service at this hotel was below average. Reception staff had a habit of not looking up from their computer until I spoke first to get their attention. There were some issues with the room. The "king" bed was twin mattresses put together, which made it uncomfortable. I asked if anything could be done and was told they would "look into" finding a solution, which was never actioned. The safe was also not working on my first night, this was fixed though the next day. A request for new towels was also met. There were also other little things that I didn't bother to mention to staff, such as no forks and an empty food box left by a previous guest - things that could easily be fixed prior to a new guest arriving, particularly as check in is at 4pm. The room was fine, although I did feel it could do with a paint job and some general improvement. I don't think I would stay here again, there are probably better options for a similar price.

  : Convient location - could walk to supermarket to get supplies for our stay. Balcony with ashtray - didn't have to go down 5 floors when wanted a smoke.
  : Lack of control on the car parking - paid $50 per night, both nights could not access the one disabled car park, last night no hotel parking spots left, had to park in car washing bay up steep driveway - not practicle for someone with a disability affecting balance and ability to walk!!!! Both occassions car using the disable spot had NO PERMIT. When reported, reception basically said bad luck, they dont know who the car belongs to .... 2nd night duty manager went through reservations and none had that car registered for parking. Better system needs to be implemented - log of parking paid for and record of bay each vehicle uses. Too many passes had parking access included for the number of spaces available. A camera linked to reception showing the disable carpark to monitor its use, and offenders met on the way up and asked to either produce their pass or move the vehicle.We booked one bedroom specifically as had sofa to have the 2 beds required. This was discussed in phone call to the hotel, but never added to the reservation. Saying this, if the sofa bed is in use, cannot access the balcony.Dishwasher no instructions to use, and even though lights came on did not appear to work.No instruction on the phone on how to reach reception.Staff can seem dismissive - on arrival we were in 5 min parking area, two guests almost checked in when I arrived in reception. Finished check in, that guest started to walk away, then turned back to query charges, one at a time. I was asked to take a seat and would be with me shortly. When I explained we were stopped in the 5 min zone, was told not to worry it will be fine. Guest being served kept asking questions for a further 10 mins. I was tired, short after having travelled for over 18 hrs and just want to get into the room, and was made to feel everyting dragged out, because I was grumpy.My family will not be staying at this hotel again.
