Looking for somewhere in the area for my Mother for a weekend, I was lucky enough to be able to inspect the apartment beforehand with the owner. I was pleasantly surprised with the size and cleanliness for the room, and my Mother was more than comfortable and felt very safe staying here by herself, and we were both impressed by... More

When we first arrived outside, it was where are we and what have I done, this looks awful and in the middle of nowhere there was pressure from my partner to just drive away and findsomething else. Thankfully I said no lets look inside. I am glad I did It was very comfortable and quiet and we enjoyed our weekend... More

I travel regularly to the Hamilton area to visit friends, and I haven't stayed anywhere other than here since I found Central Apartments. (Except for once when they were booked out.) The suites are spacious and comfortable, and while I generally only stay for a weekend they would be roomy enough to stay/work for a month. I can see why... More

I have read the negative comments here and can't really understand those that have left them. I stayed with my partner and we particularly needed accommodation in the Islington or Hamilton area. The location was perfect for us. Yes, it does appear to be an old warehouse or similar, converted to modern apartments - but who cares what the outside... More

I read the negative comments with some concern but all of these were alleviated when I checked in. Staff are friendly, helpful and professional in a casual, family way. I organised everything via email and phone and everything went smoothly - i didn't need to 'see' the staff. Getting in and out was no problem. Room was clean, tidy and... More

I too feel like I have been let down by this place. It is no where near the beach and is in a very dodgy part of town. We saw the place and the "free off street parking" phoned our business clients that we were meeting with over the next 4 days and they advised to find other accommodation. so... More

After we booked, friends said the area was BAD but the booking did not allow for cancellation. The area around is very rundown and questionable but the apartments are nice inside. The neighbours are anti and object to the parking. The photo of the "patio" is really a con as it is just astrip of tarmac some 3 metres wide... More
