Self-contained apartment, near to shopping mall

Need to pre-arrange check-in as property does not have front desk. Note that this is a "self-contained" apartment, not a "serviced" apartment, hence you will need to take care of your own washing and rubbish. Handwash and a few day's worth of shampoo were provided, and not replenished. I stayed 5 nights and bed sheet was also not changed. It was falsely advertised with free WIFI. The reality was you had to use Novotel Hotel's free WIFI, which was in the next building, and signal was very weak. The apartment I stayed in did not come with a dryer when I checked in on the first day (although it was also advertised). To his credit, the manager (John) arranged for a new dryer to be installed by the 2nd day. Apartment is near to Westfield, so it's rather convenient except most of the shops closes at 5pm.

Terrible curtains in the property especially in bedrooms. Main bedroom blind was broken and it allowed street light in through blinds and as well in other bedroom but not as bad. Living area didn’t have blackout blinds only day blinds and it allowed a lot of light come in early morning and at night

Very poor communication. Stuck outside property with no way to get in. Rude lady on other end of phone. Finally find a mobile number rang that another 20 mins to accsess property. He was helpful. Then couldnt access private parking. Until late at night. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom spotless. Heating good. Very very noisy from being on main street.

Property is in a great location and is well appointed. If I were to say a negative, that would be the shower / spa bath didn’t drain as fast as the shower , leaving a pool of water which eventually subsided and the leak around the taped shower frame which I hadn’t noticed until it contacted my dry clothes

Hot water is on some kind of weird timer and goes cold every 3 out 5 mins. You have t turn it off, wait 15 secs and start again.

Fantastic location, but the property is a bit tired; one of the blinds in the living room was broken, so at street level people could see in. However for us the main letdown was the room situation. You pay for beds, not rooms, and we were a bit confused when we got a message about extra bedding costs (even though we booked via Expedia for our party). It was quickly resolved and the communication was excellent. For a short stay this property does the trick, but longer stays may disappoint.

This has been the worst experience I have ever had in thirty years of regular travel. The property owner never provided access and I had to seek alternative accomodation. Last minute were also less than useless through out the process with no direct contact possible. I have put a stop on the funds via amex and expect a full refund

For the amount we paid we were really disappointed with the stay. The apartment is outdated, furniture is old,dirty and broken. Needs a really good clean all over. The ensuite shower is near un usable with the water turning cold every 30-40seconds, the shower still had sand in it from the people who stayed last. The crack on the sink area is just dangerous as 1/4 of the stone is completely broken. Communication was poor, we weren’t able to access the property until after 4pm. Wouldn’t stay again.

Great position, secure. No traffic noise. Shower over a deep spa bath could be a problem getting in and out for older person. Needs a bit of maintenance on shutters, doors. I like a room you can black out and that was a problem. A humming noise through the room I had.
