Overall the entire experience was OK, had some trouble contacting the establishment, since apparently I gave them my "wrong name" that was registered despite also providing them the apartment unit image + booking ref... that gave an overall bad start to the entire experience. Location of the apartment was pretty central, in the middle. Swimming pool + gym was also very decent. Apartment itself not too bad, but there were ants everywhere, so you literally cannot bring food back or have anything exposed.

Stayed for 4 nights with my family. The room was extremely dusty when we checked in as I was sneezing non stop until we opened the windows and turned on the fan. The windows were not able to stay opened hence we use our stuff to keep the windows opened. One of the beds was extremely soft making the sleep difficult and unpleasant. The pillows were too soft that we had to fold the pillow into half to sleep. The bathroom ceiling was leaking probably due to a leaking pipes from above. What is good is the staff was responsive and the information on the checking in and out were very made readily.

The apartment itself is lovely - spacious, 3 good sized bedrooms, decently comfy beds, great view, not too far from the action…it could be 5 star…. if it were owned by a chain that cared about its guests and provided the sort of stuff you’d expect in even a budget motel. There’s a coffee machine… but no coffee (or sugar or milk) and no toaster (there were 3 sachets of instant tea… for our 5 person, 8 night stay). Bizarrely, there is no hand soap provided in the bathrooms (I asked for the above. Answer was no). The floors were super dusty and there was no way to clean them and the towels were grey and thin and smelled bad. We had to use them at the pool (no extra towels provided for the pool - I asked - they said the best they could do was swap them out the next day.. they didn’t). They did deliver a mop and broom and suggested I clean the floors myself. There’s a washing machine, so I decided to also wash the towels. Too late I realised: no dryer or clothes airer to hang wet laundry on. Also, just 2 small towel rails in the whole apartment… an apartment that’s meant to sleep 6 people! I contacted Stayla and asked if there was a clothes airer available… their answer was “no - just hang it in the living room” (instead of providing a $12 clothes airer, they’d rather have wet laundry on their fabric couches!) Quick note: If you have small kids, beware: the window in the kids room opens enough for them to fall to their death. It’s also a noisy neighbourhood. Pack earplugs!

This is the bag of replacement towels /linen that the next guest will enjoy. Note the delightful colour and quality!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

This is actually more of an air bnb style accommodation so you need to collect a key from a mailbox, the host is very attentive and sent through very clear instructions on how to access. Had an issue with the air conditioning but was rectified very quickly with no waiting issues at all. Would recommend to stay here again
