What can I say? Its home away from home.
Stayed at the Paramount Serviced Apartments for my mother in law’s birthday. The two bedroom apartment was going for special on Agoda so we decided to book it.
The apartment was for four adults and one child. The positives outweighed the negatives.
Positives
Staff we encountered were friendly and efficient.
The apartment was very spacious even for four adults and a child
Both bedrooms were also very spacious.
Bed in master bedroom was comfortable.
Noise in the 12th storey apartment was at a minimal - Could barely hear street traffic
Bedrooms had roller blinds to make it nice and dark.
Kitchen had all the necessary utensils
Washing machine and dryer were provided (as expected in serviced apartments)
Excellent location
Parking facilities available on site at a fee and allows for multiple entry/exit during the period of stay. Exit at 11am on check out day.
Good view from our apartment. Views of Parliament House and St Pats Cathedral. Sunrise also nice from that apartment
Negatives
Room was dated.
Found some toe nail clippings on the floor in the living room.
Lift system is somewhat confusing (albeit explained upon check in).
Balcony locked/inaccessible. Admittedly, we didn’t call reception to have this unlocked as the weather was quite average whilst we were there. But the fact that it was locked was a bit frustrating.
Windows were all locked, meaning no natural air circulation.
As with all the serviced apartments we have stayed in, there are long term residents in the building as well. Fortunately for us, our neighbour was quiet and we didn’t hear a sound from their apartment.
For convenience, I have included info regarding lift access below. Please be aware, that similar info is made available on check in.
From the apartment
If you wish to access reception (181 exhibition street) - Take the lift from your apartment to level 2, then switch lifts.
Accessing the car park - take the lift to B1, switch lift to the respective level
Accessing the food court - Take lift to B1, switch lift and go up to G
Accessing Bourke street and little Bourke street exits - Take lift to B1, switch lift and go up to 1.
Would definitely consider staying again on our next city staycation.
