“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2011

Bus driver dropped us right at door step due to the amount of luggage we had. Normal pick up and drop off is across the road in driveway of another hotel.
Easy to find, our first stay here. Around the back of Crowne Casino. Apartment was not ready when we arrived and we where aware of this as early plane from Sydney. Apartment was ready right on 2pm as advertised.

Apartment good sized rooms and cleverly decorated. All rooms where spotlessly clean. Apartment are not serviced daily unless you pay a separate fee. Fill sized fridge, under bench oven, microwave, full dishwasher, washer and dryer. Glasses and crockery clean. Pots and pans needed a good scrub. Building manager onsite was very chatty and helpful. Bedroom had great storage and bed was to die for sooo comfortable. Ducted heating in our apartment so did not have to use dryer.
Did not get to use pool or gym over the 5 day stay as each time went down to this area lots of students using both facilities.
Location was great just far enough out of city to get away from hussle and bussell but only 10 mins walk into city centre for shopping and theatres . Southbank eateries 5 mins walk and availability of any type of food you could want. Crown Casino across the road for casino, shows, picture theatre. Supermarkets for self catering 10 mins walk down the road. Free city tour bus 3 mins walk away visit main city sights hop on of bus , full circuit takes 1 1/2 hrs.

What more could you want??

SUGGESTION - please leave some pot scores and paper towelling in kitchen. Ironing board that works would be good and clothes horse would be handy. ALL minor things.

Overall apartment and location was extremely convenient and comfortable.

Room Tip: As only few tourist rental apartments available in building ask for one with balcony and high. floo...

“Sensational Appartment, Spectacular views and grat location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2011

Our stay was magnificent, (after overcoming having to drive thanks to Tiger airlines) We were very comfortable and everthing we needed was available. Even the car park was centrally located. The checkin staff were very helpful. The room was large and being able to cook a meal was definately an advantage.

Room Tip: The main bedroom had an ensuite and was very spacious. Plenty of room for clothes

“A great find in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2011

Wow, we were really surprised to find these wonderful apartments at a fantastic rate in an excellent location in Southbank, adjacent to the Crown Casino. We had a 2-br modern, fully appointed apartment on the 30th floor and loved every minute of our stay. The unit has a diswasher, washing machine, dryer and excellent kitchen facilities. It also had Austar (Satellite TV), a DVD player and stereo. We will definitely be back.

“Decent place at a decent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 2, 2011

We stayed at the apartment for Grand Prix weekend. Usually, we stay at one of the Crowne Casino properties, however we invited more people to the trip, which meant an apartment was more economical. Having stayed mostly at 4-5 star hotels, I was worried about the standard.

It was surprising how good this place was. Clean and simple decor with plenty of space in both the 2 bedrooms. We had a baby cot in the master bedroom and still had room to move. Enormous lounge area. I really liked the kitchen!

The building was secure with a concierge until 8pm (I think from memory). Short stroll to the Crowne with all the restaurants / entertainment you need.

The only bad thing I can say about this place was the individual apartment door access. I've never stayed in a hotel / apartment where there was no dead lock. Everytime you get into your apartment, you have to put your key in the door knob and basically lock yourself in.

Overall, a great experience. During the Grand Prix weekend, expect to hear all the noise from Albert Park (we didn't mind).

PS/ Avoid the convenience store downstairs, as it is overpriced, more so compared to other convenience stores in Sydney.

Room Tip: Book early in peak periods

“Couldnt ask for anything better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2011

Both myself and my two girlfriends agree that we haven't stayed in a nicer place. The view was to die for, apartment was spotless and very inviting. Bedding was EXTREMELY comfortable, service was outstanding! - Was able to organise airport transfers through shortstay which was an added bonus.!

I have already started to spread the word and will be back. We are very pleased we got the chance to experience such a fantastic location and a lovely apartment.! - Stay in Southbank Deluxe apartments, you wont regret it!

Thanks Shortstay!!
