Carstairs Holidays from AU$1,041

Holborn Central is in a good location with a variety of restaurants and a cinema with a15 minute walk to Woolworths and the mail. Our two bedroom apartment was a decent size and quiet. The room was very run down and dirty. The showers had mildew. You could hardly see our the windows. There was several things broken the door to the washing machine and dryer, broken and missing remotes for the air conditioning. The couch was very small and uncomfortable. The beds medium comfort. There a very small gym which smelt Misty and of sweat and had not water cooler or towels. There is secure underground parking and the best thing was the pool. With a bit of tlc and repair it could have been a good unit but servicing is lacking.

Having steps up from the corridor on the upper level to the room is dangerous and highly unusual. Looks like the building has been repurposed.

Excellent location, great rooms

Pros: Unit was lovely & spacious & the kitchen had everything we needed. The reading books were a good idea. The pool on the top floor of the parking building had great views of the city & the lady on reception was friendly & helpful. Cons: The beds were only made up with sheets. When we pulled the doona out of the cupboard in the main room it was dirty. The 2nd room had been split into 2 beds but there was only 1 Q size doona in the cupboard so we had no blanket for the 2nd bed. It was handy having secure parking but getting to and from the car park in the neighbouring building was somewhat tedious - not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Overall we would recommend The Dalgety Apartments but hope they provide clean doonas/blankets for the next guests.

The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.
