A gas jet on the stove was on when I went to the room I had been allocated. The whole apartment smelt strongly of gas. I was given a new room. When I reported the problem with the gas I was told it was likely caused by a cleaner accidentally turning it on while cleaning. I thought this was implausible. I thought it was dangerous but my complaint was not taken seriously.

A very comfortable and clean property for a stay. We had a 2 bedroom apartment as were there with friends and found the apartment a little smaller than expected. The main concerns were an ensuite will add to the apartment especially when staying with another couple. No screen on sliding door meant when open for fresh air flies will fly in. Breakfast, pool and gym looked good although did not use pool or gym on weekend. air con in bedroom would also be a great addition especially for the warmer months. Location was good overall.

Part of the bathroom floor was rusted in a corner and the shower leaked. The phone didn’t work and I couldn’t ring the desk or room service and had to go to reception in person. The restaurant had run out of vegetables and there was nothing for dinner at all for a vegan (myself). They apologised but I couldn’t eat anything and had to go out.

The analog clock in our room keeps going off several times in the morning, disturbing our sleep. We did not set it. No way to unplug it without destroying the connection. We did not know how to switch it off as it was an old clock. It should be removed as most guests own a smart phone these days where we can set our own alarms if we want to. This unpleasant experience semi-ruined our otherwise nice stay. Apartment was clean and spacious, Staff at cafe got overwhelmed with coffee orders and showed irritation. Again minor blip in our stay but still left an unpleasant mark.

Overall pleasant stay. After booking a king suite, I called in to check the amenities and I was told that I will be getting full kitchen with stove and oven so I had made arrangements accordingly. However, upon checking-in I learnt I wasn't getting any of those! Breakfast buffet - Disappointed having to share tongs for veg and non-veg food!

Best bed ever!
This hotel had the best bed I have ever slept in! Would love to know which model bed it was from the "thathotelbed.com.au" range. The hotel was very clean, our room was a bit dated with the carpet and lounge furniture, but that bed! Still can't get over how comfortable it was. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We had breakfast there two mornings in a row. It was a buffet style breakfast each time and there was a small range of hot and cold food, the same things each day we went. We did have an issue with the wi-fi in the room. My husband and I could not both be on the internet at the same time and the internet was painfully slow. The staff did everything possible to rectify the situation, but we ended up with one of us using the wi-fi, the other used their phone as a tether. Staff were extremely apologetic that they could not rectify the wi-fi issue during our stay.
