Secure property, check in was easy enough. Room is smaller than we thought and needs a bit of maintenance/update as carpet is a bit worn. Location is good, close to cinema, restaurants and Qld country bank stadium.

Feels very Zen, yet so Central

Really lovely place. Welcoming, clean, feels new and so quiet inside the apartments. Right by the creek, could probably catch a nice red bream or trevally by throwing a line in! Very central, can walk to stadium, town centre, pubs, clubs and restaurants. Secure parking and secure building, felt very safe staying here. Slept very well, comfortable beds and furniture. Will definitely stay here again.

I would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay. The staff are fantastic and responsive, the location is very handy with some good dining options on site. I found the bed a little uncomfortable the first night and asked if a mattress topper could be fitted, this was done within a few hours. I will stay here again.

I liked the pool & the location. The air con didn't work on first night. Very uncomfortable when I paid for an aircon room. receptionist was helpful to change my room for the next 5 nights. I sent an email to explain my disappointment with the broken aircon & never got a response. The doona cover was stained. Same stains on the door with a hair on it. Cockroach in the room. Outdoor furniture very stained & cigarette hole in the chairs. Would not recommend to stay here.

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.

Time we spent well there loved the views from the top floor, but as we started to settle in and actually take notice of the place the it was not clean properly, dished still had lip prints and hand prints on them, dishes, pots and cutlery was not washed up and cleaned properly, floor was making the bottom of our foot black not sure if they mopped, sheets had stains on them, curtains had dirt or mould on it, fans and lights dusty and looked like they haven’t been cleaned in ages. It’s not kids safe for toddlers sharp edges on the coffee tables and the tile is not good if they slip and fall, only safe place was the bedroom that had carpet. Tv is outdated so if you do stay here make sure you bring a projector or Xbox or something just to have entertainment. Pool was good but as we started to notice the glass on the pool was dirty. DoorDash pretty good to order and collect down stairs but other then that it’s was not very clean and tidy specially if you have little ones that touch everything I wouldn’t recommend.

Quite poor

Had a five day stay, apartment was okay but quite dated and really needs a good clean and a bit of TLC. We had issues with a leaking ceiling, in the lounge, from the hole where the missing ceiling fan should be (which talking to reception it’s clear that it won’t be fixed anytime soon). The air conditioning also constantly dripped water leaving puddles on the floor and was noisy in the bedrooms. Quite poorly equipped for self catering e.g only one knife (a bread knife) for food preparation and a random mix of odd mismatched cutlery. Property does have a nice roof top pool and secure underground parking but I would not stay again.
