Finding the apartment was not easy (our taxi driver couldn't find it). When I mentioned that fact to management, he wasn't very helpful and told us out taxi driver wasn't very good. Found his attitude very disappointing.

you were given full address of the building, on the entire Australia ave, there are only 2 buildings, each of 30 storeys, if your taxi driver couldn't find it, then you should ask them why as a taxi driver they couldn't find it, it's readily available on google map assuming you know what that is. But you try to blame us and our building not having enough signs .... etc etc. and try to pick on anything you eyes lay on. Sorry, how you felt treated is only a reflection of how you treat others. I'm sure knowing what google map would help your future travel before you blame others.

If going for an event at Sydney Olympic Park, then this place is in an ideal location. Just down the road from the trains and walk to the venue. Note if you want to drink wine in your apartment then bring it with you as there is no where nearby to buy any.

Good venue for Olympic Park stay
I found the apartment very comfortable and the guy that met me was helpful in where to park the car etc. Only problem I had was that I did not know I needed the security tag to leave the car park. I had left this in the apartment as requested. To get out of the building meant I needed to wait until another car was leaving and follow closely behind them.

Terrible management and shocking pests
Cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom. I spent considerable time finding and killing them. Quite poor. No hot shower on first day either. Excuse was that they had turned switch off. Terrible. Property manager was rude and unapologetic when he was late and was just trying to give an excuse why he was late instead of just saying ‘Sorry’, which usually makes a huge difference. Then he was explaining basics as if I was being baby sat. Not recommended at all.

Dear Guest, I make no apology because at the time you arrive, I were checking in another guest who arrived same time and I did inform you over the phone about that. I see no reason why other guest deserve any less attention for their check in just because there is another grumpy guest unhappy to queue and wait. In Australia when someone ahead of you, we queue behind but not get grumpy, certainly not demand apology.

Brilliant place to stay
I booked the apartment to attend a concert at ANZ stadium. I was quite surprised at how great the apartment was. Location was within an easy walking distance to the stadium; view to harbour bridge; very clean and comfortable; parking was a plus; building security was great; breakfast just downstairs and the fellow who owns it was really good to deal with

Nice room but unfortunately has hidden costs
Accomodation was good and spacious....unfortunately got a shock when i arrived only to be told that i had pay an additional $80 cleaning fees, even though i had an email from hotels.com say my accomodation was fully payed for.......NOT GOOD Needs to be spelled out way more clearly that there are significant additional costs even after i payed the price on HOTELS.COM
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018
Response from Gary on 8 Oct 2018
Thank you for your comment but with deep regret they are untrue and non-factual. The $80 is NOT any additional charge, it's just part of the total that you signed to but NOT collected at the time of your booking. It's just how the website works and it's not within our control. The breakdown of the total that you signed to (consists of amount you paid at the time of booking, and amount to be paid at the property, simple arithmetic adding the 2 amounts will give you the exactly the total you agreed to). They are CLEARLY displayed at the time you made the booking, AND before you entered your cc details confirming your booking. When you checked in, we have also clearly explained by repeating the same booking process on the Hotel.com website demonstrating to you how the website works, showing that is just part of total not yet collected, but not any additional. If you checked the itinerary print out, they should have listed the details, you could also have verified directly with Hotel.com or Expedia directly. However you've chosen to make your comment that's non-factual and misleading is deeply regrettable.

Beautiful unit with fantastic views of Sydney
A lovely unit which was well appointed. Unfortunately I did not read the 'fine print' and the owner asked me to pay an additional $280 upon arrival. I explained I had already paid in full and I was advised that I was required to pay $80 for cleaning which was not included in the price. As the price was not cheap I was quite taken back with this information. The owner showed me the fine print stating the $80 makes up for the commission paid to Expedia however I felt this was not my responsibility but chose not to argue. We negotiated that I did not have to pay the $200 bond but I still had to pay the $80. Personally I would not enter in to this type of arrangement again as I believe that I had paid all costs upfront in good faith however I do understand the need for a refundable bond. The other consideration for travellers in regard the location is that there are only a couple of very small (expensive) convenience stores in the area. There are no liquor or grocery outlets for several kilometres.

Response from Gary on 21 Sept 2018
thank you for allowing us to clear up what's been raised here. Your statement suggesting us wanting to charge you $280 as additional is simply untrue and misleading. $200 is a refundable bond - a standard practice any hotel will charge and refundable provided no damage to the property - that is NOT an additional charge and clearly listed in terms and conditions.The $80 is part of the "trip total" that your booking platform(wotif.com) did not take at the time of your booking. I'd suggested to you at the time check in contact your booking agent to clarify, or simply get on wotif.com, initiate another booking to our apartment, you'll see clearly listed the "TRIP TOTAL", break down of that "TRIP TOTAL" = "total due today" + "due at property" . The "total due today" is what you'd paid at the time of booking, the "due at property" is the $80 balance you have to pay at property. The 2 amounts add up EXACTLY to the "TRIP TOTAL" - which is the ONLY total ever displayed. There is NO add on, there is NO fine print, all very clear. AND these are displayed BEFORE YOU CONFIRMED THE BOOKING, BEFORE YOU FILL in your cc details. However you'd chosen not to call your agent to clarify, not taking the effort to investigate, but chose to ignore all the readily verifiable facts. Making comment that's nonfactual, misleading, is deeply regrettable. We do however, grateful for your appreciation of our well appointed apartments, all with spectacular uninterrupted view to the CBD skyline. Olympic Park is a unique precinct that promotes healthy family friendly sports and events only. It's a alcohol free zone and we welcome guests to the area for healthy, family friendly activities.
