We can only say how disappointed we were, on what was supposed to be a special celebration weekend, as my husband had retired that week. The foyer is a dark and dingey, little tiled corridor, so our first impression was not good, especially when we had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to arrive from another location to check...

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while we looked for more permanent accommodations in Mooloolaba. To be honest, we were slightly disappointed with the quality, cleanliness, and customer service for the price that we paid. Upon arrival at noon, there was no one at the reception desk, so we called a contact number posted on the door,... More

On arrival our preferred configuration of room was not available therefore the manager moved us up to a Top Floor room and had the room configured to our preference. That was the good bit, but it ended there. The property advertises as FOUR star, however upon further check I found that this was SELF rated. The apartment was very poorly... More

My sister and I stayed here during the Summer and it was a fantastic location, only a short stroll to the beach and the apartment itself was a really great size. We had rented a double and we had a huge living room and kitchen all to ourselves. And we have to say a huge thank you to the husband... More

Having spent 5½ weeks at the Excellsior Apartments in Mooloolaba we can only say it was a great base for our visit to the beautiful Sunshine Coast and Hinterland area. It is far enough from the bustle that is Mooloolaba and in a very quiet location on the river/canal, yet close enough to walk to everything (bus 80 mtrs., beach... More

I booked a top floor apartment for Friday and Saturday night over the weekend just past. I was initially delighted to find the staff were very helpful for arranging an afterhours check-in as I had obligations to meet in Melbourne that afternoon. The apartment was fresh and clean upon arrival, it had all necessary amenities and the rooftop deck was... More

As we'd already stayed beachside at Mooloolaba we were looking for a different aspect. Yogita offered us keys to view 2 apartments. Room 27 on the top floor had a rooftop patio and a good wraparound balcony with access from both the bedroom and dining/lounge area. Great canal views - a bit shady. We particularly appreciated thegreat shower pressure, bathroom... More

Arrived here for 2 nights stay. Musty smelling ground floor unit. Clearly not been occupied for some time Dead ants on bathroom windowsill. Views? Well, bedroom window looks out onto noisy Backpackers common room. No iron or ironing board. And garage apparently unavailable because owner has his stuff stored in it. Disappointing..

Great location, short walking distance from the main beach and cafe / shop area while being far enough away that its nice and quiet. We had a ground floor room but still had good view over the water and higher floors would have been better views. The rooms are dated, still with the 80s cane furniture but the apartments and...
