Beware of Apartment 1

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 July 2021
The location of the Salamanca Wharf Hotel is the highlight for us and keeps bringing us back.
The apartments are well equipped, spacious, comfortable, clean and modern.

On our most recent stay we were given Apartment 1 - a PREMIUM one bedroom apartment. We were able to overlook the worn sofa and cushions and dining chairs.
However the mattress was of such poor quality that it offered no body support whatsoever. As soon we sat on the bed, we were almost on the floor.
We dreaded going to bed each night and had backaches every day.

To make matters worse the Hotel had a faulty alarm which kept ringing at intervals throughout the night and early hours. It kept us (and all other guests) awake and wondering if there was an actual emergency.

Given that this property is marketed as a 5 star luxury experience, we were disappointed. The location is 5 star, but Apartment 1 is definitely not.

We did mention the state of the mattress to management, and we hope this issue as well as the faulty alarm has been rectified for the comfort of future guests.

A 22 room hotel , it was perfectly located close enough to Salamanca place but away from the main strip and noise . We booked two penthouse apartments and were slotted 19 and 21 , different layouts . One studio and the other a one bedroom . It was spacious, warm , comfy bed, kitchenette plus laundry and one apartment had 2 tvs. Reception is from 9 to 5 only and you have to make arrangements for after hours check in . There is no room service but a cafe serving breakfast and lunch to 3 pm Is in the ground floor and has good coffee and meals .

Staff were really friendly and helped arrange luggage to be moved when we booked a different room for an afternoon stay before a night flight .

Lots of restaurants around and the Mona ferry is 5 minutes away , city is a 15 minute walk as well and battery point around the corner . There is on site parking but for smaller cars .

Room tip: Book penthouse rooms 21 and 22 as these are one bedrooms and more spacious . 19 and 20 are studios but the same price

Fantastic, friendly small hotel. Rooms and amenities exactly as the website describes. This hotel provided me with a credit from when co-vid first began and borders were closed. Re-booking was seamless and I could not fault our stay, from our warm welcome, complimentary umbrella when we arrived to lovely room. We loved walking along Salamanca place each day and night trying all the different restaurants and cafes with varied cuisines across the waterfront and streets above. Near the markets, easy walk to the Mona ferry, State Gallery and Museum, shops and easy for uber, taxis and just strolling. Highly recommend. Just be prepared that if you wish to self cater, there are no supermarkets or convenience stores (other than a specialist fresh produce store) within easy walking distance. Value for money.

Most convenient location adjacent to Salamanca Wharf and picturesque Battery Point. Fantastic location close to shops and market and convenient to city and ferry to Mona etc. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of space albeit our one bedroom apartment had only minimum hanging wardrobe

Room tip: Free parking for 14 vehicles

We had such a great experience here. For starters, the location is second to none. For those driving, the car stacker parking is amazing and even fit our Grand Cherokee.

The room itself was beautiful, with plenty of space and a lovely view of the park. I’ve also never stayed anywhere with a freestanding bath IN the bedroom...not the ensuite, you see - the bedroom. It was huge and I loved it. And the bed might have been one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Tremendous.
I know it’s weird to comment on, but I was even impressed with the toiletries!

Finally, and almost most importantly, it was blissfully quiet. Didn’t here a peep from the street or other guests.
What a win of a place.

Very handy to restaurants, wharf etc. The slanted ceiling in the bedroom is a real hazard. Don’t be fooled by the photos there is no balcony. Very clean and staff are extremely helpful. Quiet location.
