Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We visited In march 2016 for one night pre cruise. We arrived very early from nz and they looked after our bags. Checked in and was on level one. Room very clean and spacious. No view from balcony but it didn't matter. We were so close to darling harbour for half the price of the Novotel. We couldn't cook but hey who wants to cook on vacation with so many restaurants within 5 minis walk. Washing machine was a bonus. Staff very friendly. We needed more wine glasses and it was just a phone call away. There was construction work going on next door but it didn't bother us. I would stay again. It's cheap for the location. So expectations can't be too high.

Upon arrival we had to pay a 300.00 bond which would be credited to our card within 7 to 10 days. Could not use kitchen facilities due to fire alarms. Needs a total overall. We have taken photos as we thought the bond request was a bit dodgy. Washing machine went through cycle and wouldn't spin clothes

We stayed here for one night because it was a few dollars cheaper than Novotel or Ibis. The location was great but we had no hot water for showers or no air. Reception was closed and not able to contact after hours for help! The lounge to sit on was a pull out sofa and terribly uncomfortable to sit. The kitchen was out of service due to fire regulations. The coffee mugs were filthy and had not been washed. When staying in an apartment all you want is a hot shower, air con and a coffee. I left without any of this. I waited until reception opened to complain but nothing they could do for me. Do yourself a favour and stay across the road at The Novotel.

Stayed 1 night only (advertised as PENTHOUSE). Had to pay at time of booking. From photos looked clean and comfortable. On entering room door was diffucult to open -FIRE HAZARD. Everything inside old and dilapidated. Fly screen door off hook, no locks on external door to roof top. Smell inside was putrid, carpets were threadbare, no teatowels, dishwasher had a sign on it that had obviously been there for some time that said the dishwasher did not work, spare doona had massive blood stain. This place should be condemed.

Needed to stay in sydney with our kids and this serviced apartment was reasonable value. it has a kitchen and laundry facilities, 2 beds and 2 bathrooms. I received a call on the way to make sure i was checking in as checknin starts at 2pm and finishes at 3pm. I was told on arrival that I had to empty my own rubbish and that we are not allowed to use the kitchen at all, just a microwave. Whats the point of having a kitchen then amdni did not know i payed them to take mynown rubbish out. On entry it looked ok but it was clear that the bathroom has flooded previously as the floating floorboards were damaged and raised. The bathrooms needed a massive clean to get rid of the mould and getting rid of the spider webs with the dead spiders still hanging would have been a start. Lots of noise throughout the night made for a broken sleep. My recommendation is to stay across the road at novotel. At least those patrons look happy and refreshed. Dont waste your time staying in these apartments. we only stayed as it was only 1 night. Any longer and we would have walked away.

ok despite the web site advising we had internet and foxtel and cooking we do not have these basics... apparently there havent been these items for several months. also clenliness is just basic and theres considerable wear and tear,, on the pluss side the position is fantastic across the road from 2 accor hotels and 100 m from the light rail. i guess its swings and roundabouts.. we just needed internet and foxtell for our holiday so be warned.. reception typically appologetic and very sweet buty obviously fed uop wiht the situation but wiht owners who wont do anything about it

I asked for queen beds and was assured the room had 1 queen and 1 double - all rooms have doubles only. Furniture is very old. Great location but the staff don't know are care about their guests. Only 4 parking spaces available, so get in early if you want one.

This building offers two bedroom apartments - one bedroom has a small en-suite with a shower, and there's a separate bathroom. Decent living room area and a small kitchen. There's air conditioning - this was effective in the bedrooms and average in the living area. It's not luxurious but it was clean and the staff were helpful. The lift did break down once, but it seemed to get fixed quickly. We stayed for a week, which made the price great compared to other 2 bedrooms we looked at. The location is also very good - it's opposite the Novotel so there were pretty much always taxis available, and it's very close to Cockle Bay Wharf and some great restaurants.
