ゲゲストTo be honest, I'm not sure how Opera Apartments South Bank has such a high rating. Here's a breakdown of the good and bad. Good: o Fully equipped kitchen o Balcony with outdoor table and chairs o WiFi is good at >50/50 Mbps. o The rooftop pool and BBQ areas are nice. The pool is a great place from which to watch the sunset. o Fantastic location. Very convenient for attending conferences at the exhibition centre. Bad: o Cockroaches in our bathroom and kitchen! Once it was dark, cockroaches came out in our bathroom and kitchen. On the first night, we killed four in the bathroom and two in the kitchen. o The front door has no signage to indicate where to enter Opera apartments. The door to enter the building does not automatically open and often the reception is unattended. So you have to use the keypad at the door to even gain entry to the building. We saw lots of new arrivals who were left very confused by the system. o We arrived at 12:30 pm and checked in, but as check-in time is not until 2 pm we dropped our luggage and then went off to grab lunch and coffee. We returned at 2 pm but were advised that our room still wasn't ready. We were told the room would be ready at 2:40 pm. Since we had already had lunch, we had nothing to do but sit around in the reception area until our room was ready. At 2:47 pm we were advised that the room would be ready in 10 mins. The room was then ready at 2:57 pm. When we entered the room it had a chemical smell and the kitchen floor was still wet after cleaning. o The walls were covered in dust. Additionally, all the air conditioning vents were caked with dust. There was an insane amount of dust behind the bed. As someone with allergies, we had to be very careful not to disturb the dust otherwise I would have been sneezing the whole time. o No tissues were provided. o No towels were provided for the pool. o The hallway had an unpleasant smell. Then the room also smelt but it was a completely different unpleasant smell. o The tv was fairly small. Only about 40”. o We were on level 3 and we couldn't have our balcony door open as there was a loud noise from air conditioning units under us and the building next door. With the door closed though the noise of the air-conditioning units outside wasn't an issue (but then you're trapped with the smell!) Overall, I do not recommend Opera Apartments South Bank. Complete waste of money. Still traumatised from all the cockroaches coming out during the night and the smell in the apartment.
We had a great time in Brisbane. Our apartment was clean, comfortable and quiet. Really well equipped for cooking and self catering. Washing /laundry facilities were a real help too. Reception staff were wonderfully helpful in particular Bella. Thank you for the suggestions and tips to get around the city, and for the help retrieving my photos from USB to my email while I didn’t have my laptop. And the complementary sleep spray & relaxing music playlist were a nice touch too! Much appreciated. Highly recommended. Thanks again Emma & Scott - UK
Wow just wow . Spectacular views. After reading reviews we were not sure what to expect from accomodation but what a pleasant surprise. Studio room bed facing balcony .could not close blinds to that view. Amazing. Lovely small kitchen space dishwasher ,fridge,micro and cook plate. Nice modern shower room . Clean cheery above what we expected. Walk outside and so close to eateries pubs etc . Could not have picked a better spot .only one thing could improve it ” a little coffee pod machine ”love this place.
My four-night stay at West End Central Apartments was disappointing. There was no room service for the entire duration, and they failed to provide fresh towels, shampoo, soap, and toilet paper despite multiple requests. I had to personally ask for assistance, but nothing was delivered. Moreover, there was no coffee in the room, and the phone didn't connect to the reception. The location was good, but the overall experience was unsatisfactory, even though I had already paid in advance.
VVenture37416014444Stood outside for 2 hours from 9-11pm as their confirmation stated check-in was till 10pm, I was alone and it's a dodgy dark area. I have been in contact with Fleet Lane 4x in the past week to get back 3x dresses worth 2k, they must condone theft as the manager has NEVER tried to contact me once, I am now involving the police as chronic theft is an issue on their premises. Reading in other reviews people have had their money stolen while here, so clearly normal behaviour for this place. Ohh also, a lot of mould in shower, trains 24/7 outside the windows, floor oddly sticky and lounge suite faded and flaking. Never stay here, better off in a backpackers.
