Reception seems to be non-existent, with our room key and information left in a lock box despite checking in soon after 2pm. This was communicated clearly by email. We never saw anyone during our 1 week stay. Basic supplies were scarce; not enough glasses and cutlery for the number of guests, no plugs for sinks or cloths for washing dishes, a single dishwashing tablet for a 1 week stay, no broom. That might be ok if you're going to be serviced regularly, but nothing during a 6 night stay. Having no wifi is a real downside and a tv that doesn't have HDMI capability is limiting these days. The apartment needed a deep clean. Tiled floors clearly had dirt worn into the tile and grout. Walls were dirty along the beds. Beds not the worst I stayed in, but not particularly comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was convenient and the location is handy and walking distance to the river and South Perth cafes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My stay was deeply disappointing. Upon arrival, we found the room was not as pictured. There was black dirt on the windows and a significant layer of dust throughout, which was a major issue for me as I have dust allergies. This resulted in a very uncomfortable night's sleep. On top of that, the screen door was missing from the entry, the light fixtures by the bed were loose and broken, and we even had to deal with someone else's half-eaten food in the fridge. The actual state of the property did not live up to the images or reviews previously seen.

The property was booked due to being in close proximity to one of the hospitals. The apartment was a good size, however very dated with visible marks on the walls and carpets. There was also dust on the bedside tables. The property was in a good location to local shops, cafes, jetty, zoo. Being next to the freeway, there was constant noise from road vehicles and trains.

Accomodation for sports teams

Generally good. Unit was clean but decor tired. There was traffic noise from freeway, we reduced this by keeping windows closed while sleeping. We appreciated the spacious kitchen and full laundry. Kitchen had oven as well as microwave. Our appartment had adequate utensils. We were taking part in a sports team so spent little time in the appartment during the day. The location was excellent for getting to the various sports fields throughout Perth.

Small things detract from the overall enjoyment of the property: no privacy scrim curtain in the bedroom, no luggage stand, needs shelves or a chest of drawers for clothes, no plug for bathroom sink and the standard of lighting in the lounge area is poor. The low lounge is a pain for an old bloke with crook knees as was the first floor location but I concede they would not be a problem for most people.

This Property needs an upgrade to bring it to a reasonable standard. Meet with filthy stairway and corridor to the apartment. Kitchen dirty - food on the outside of the refrigerator plus dirty shelves on inside of the refrigerator. Plate taken from cupboard with food on it. No hot water in the kitchen. Only time I have ever had to buy cleaning products. Walls marked, curtains dirty and the doona fit only to be thrown out. Condition of the apartment totally negates the excellent position of the property.

The property is extremely dirty and outdated. We walked around the property barefoot for 10 minutes and our feet were black. The cleaners tried to clean the floors but they didn’t even have a proper mop. The toilet was leaking and the floors were wet. The showers were constantly leaking and we couldn’t turn them off, the noise kept us up at night. Because it was holidays, there wasn’t anyone at the reception to help us. On a positive note, it’s a good location and the apartment is large.

Only given 2 towels when our apartment was serviced. We asked for more towels (family) of 4 and we were told the cleaner would send more towels but they never arrived. There were two big cockroaches one running around kitchen and one in laundry sink. The floor at the entrance of the apartment was always wet from a leak somewhere. No hand soap provided for kitchen just watered down dish soap. No servicing on the weekends. the only window that could be opened was the bathroom. There was a sliding door that has a fly screen that could be left open for air however you could not lock fly screen to secure your belongings. There was a funny chemical smell constantly in the bedroom. The good things were all the amenities and how close they were to the beautiful south Perth foreshore and Perth CBD.

If there were negative stars, this place would deserve them. It doesn’t even qualify for one. We were placed in a unit where every other apartment on the floor appeared to be privately owned and occupied by people partying all night long. Despite the hotel’s own signage stating that quiet hours are from 11 pm to 7 am, the noise was non-stop. We called the “after-hours” emergency number, only to be told they couldn’t do anything about it. Things got so bad we had to call the police to file a noise complaint. That’s how out of control it was. To make matters worse, our balcony was under renovation and completely unusable—blocked off with safety hazard tape. It was not only an eyesore but a serious safety risk that should have made the room uninhabitable. The air conditioning unit was heavily rusted and incredibly loud. By the second day, we had to stop using it entirely because of the unbearable noise. How this property can legally rent out such a hazardous and poorly maintained space is beyond me—it’s a total violation of basic consumer rights. The most appalling moment came on the third day of our stay when the entire electrical circuit in our unit began flickering in the morning before cutting out completely. When we called the urgent after-hours line again, they said they couldn’t do anything because it was a public holiday. Unreal !! Rubbish experience from start to finish. This place is a disgrace and a serious safety and health concern. Avoid it at all cost.
