This is proving to be very comfortable & convenient & Im considering a longer stay with my business in Newcastle ongoing, I cant think of a better location for being central to the city & it allows me to at the end of the day being able to switch off & wind down & enjoy the peace & privacy this place has to offer.

When i called the day prior regarding check in there was no notice that our accommodation had changed to another site, it was only when we arrived late in the day that we realised. With 3 young kids we felt we had no option but to stay. All the parking was full so we couldnt park near our room. All could be forgiven with a good nights sleep. Unfortunately there was someone banging on doors and yelling all night frightening my kids and keeping us awake. The only positives was that check in and out was easy and all information was sent via text.

We stayed here several years ago and the apartments were great. We would not stay here again. Only towels provided, no face cloth, hand towel or floor mat provided. No tea towel. Dishwasher tabs provided, No dishwasher. Certainly gone to the pack. Watch out for the man in Unit One, he likes to lay down the law.

So far so good. The design of the building has cleverly incorporated the particular angles & slants of walls & corners to ensure that no one else in the other units can see their neighbours either from inside or from the private balcony Suits me for the time being. The cleaning staff are very helpful & friendly. A couple of standard items broke in the unit as in the hairdryer & the kettle but thats to be expected when these items are constantly used by ever

Property was dirty upon arival. Manager organised cleaner to attend. Property still appeared dirty with what appeared to be food stuck to blanket and hairs through the beds. Ended up not staying and was refused a refund or compensation. Will be following up due to breach of consumer rights.

Apartment was very tidy and plenty of room and would probably stay there again. The only issues were that the shower constantly dribbled all night (needs new washer). Car parking was good the first night. Someone took our park the second night. We had to park on the street. 2 or 3 broken cars around the property made it look untidy.

Accomodation is absolutely filthy. Every piece of furniture is damaged and disgusting, floors were sticky and unclean, the sink had mould in it. Looks nothing like the photos and the area is very dodgy. The accomodation is almost certainly commission housing being rented out illegally. Avoid at all costs, stay away.

Other than being close to food shopping there is not one thing positive about this place. Disgusting Everything is broken Crumbs in beds Stains on sheets Doors broken Blinds broken Remotes don't work as batteries missing Toilet seat unattached Uncomfortable beds I have travelled a lot for business and this is BY FAR the worst place I have ever stayed at.

Firstly the place & surrounding didn't feel safe, unit had dirty feel, no blinds on main bedroom, the sound from neighboring property's were disturbing. The carpark had run-down cars with smashed windows, after looking at google reviews stating that a car had been stolen, blood on walls etc, we felt it wasn't safe for our young family to stay at this location so after 20-30 minutes we vacated

The property was very dusty and the room was quite stuffy. The couches were worn out and the bathroom door lock was broken which caused us to be locked out of the bathroom, there was no sanitary bins in the bathroom either. The linen wasn’t allergy friendly and the quality should be improved. The beds are sagging causing discomfort when sleeping. Otherwise the apartment is a good size and provided towels:)
