Location was great, beds comfortable, room clean and tidy
TV was not working the first night we stayed, was replaced.
Kettle seemed to be new and we were unable to use due to the toxic plastic smell and taste, had to boil water on the stove for a coffee.

The balcony, the privacy and location. Kitchen and utilities were so convenient for my stay and cooking at home made things easy.
A little overpriced for my 10 day stay however was happy to pay because it suited my needs, I am a regular that book with Kensington perhaps a discount/loyalty reward system for regular bookings at Kensington.
It would be helpful to have trolleys down in car park to allow to take luggage and shopping items for a single person.
Sometime the rubbish chute bin will be smelly as you walk pass.

Fantastic. We enjoyed everything. We asked for an extra day & they were able to do that for us.
A bit problematic getting into the property after hours. But got sorted.

Needs to have propa cooking frying pan as we couldn’t cook bacon and eggs for breakfast or a mail meal at night
10.0 / 10.0
Room was well presented. Everything was well maintained. Great size fridge for a few days stay. Central to food outlets. Value for money and car was safely parked.
Maybe a bit more cooking dishes.
9.0 / 10.0
A decent sized room with good facilities. Location was good with only a 10 minute walk into town
Some of the kitchen utensils could do with updating as they looked dirty and it put you off using them but overall nothing really to complain about
6.0 / 10.0
good location next to restaurants
Door didn’t have a seal under it meaning the hot air and creatures got in
TV was sooo small
only two forks and knives in the drawers meaning having to wash up after each meal
I as was putting my key into the check out box a staff member was there doing something in the storage and was smoking and it blew into my face I found that highly offensive and disgusting

8.0 / 10.0
Nice size apartment, comfortable. Everything you need is supplied.
Fans only work on high and aircon was noisy in bedroom. Step up to bathroom is high and easy to smash your toes on (as I did) .

Not much
Pretty much the whole experience. If we hadn't paid upfront we would have left within a day.

I find it pathetic that you would remove my comments purely because you clearly don’t approve of negative criticism. Perhaps you could take it onboard rather than remove my comments.

spacious two bedroom apartment with the right amenities
very dated, carpet had stains and general wear and tear that could use a little maintenance

location
room was not ready until after 4. room very small.
carpet was dirty and so were walls and door.
The photos on the internet isn’t showing what it really
is.
5.0 / 10.0
Reception staff was really nice and pleasant.
Got given wrong key to room initially and opened someone else's apartment. Such a dirty dusty ceiling and fan, was gross to look at while laying in bed. Aircon unit was too noisy to use while sleeping. Felt like poor student accommodation not a nice hotel room like I paid for.
8.0 / 10.0
Nice apartment. Quiet. Plenty of room to work on table as required. Pool available. Helpful reception.
Not far from CBD so easy to drive there in a few minutes. Washing machine and dryer a great help.
Kitchen cutlery was a bit sparse. For some weird reason the ceiling fans could not be turned off. The airconditioner is cool only and we were here during a cold spell so would have like a little heat.
8.0 / 10.0
Apartment is quite large.
Loads of space.
Some of the PowerPoints and light switches were a bit broken.
They could be looked at.
5.0 / 10.0
Large and spacious living and balcony. Friendly staff at reception. Good location close to dining and movie and 10 minutes walk into city
The carpet wasn't very clean and would think tiles may be more appropriate due to hygiene and allergies. The couch wasn't very comfortable - a update and spruse is needed.
1.0 / 10.0
The location was great, near restaurants and shops.
staff were nice.
Room smelled like mould and Airconditioning filters were absolutely filthy. Sliding door wouldn’t lock.
carpets and bedding were stained. Staff do not answer phone during office hours.
