Reviews for Honeysuckle Apartments
Review 1：Parking not included. We had to pay but there was no spot left on the second day due to many vehicles without the parking permit. The gym was closed due to vandalism.
Review 2：Cleanliness, polite staff
Review 3：If you get an apartment with the front view and that would be a view of empty lot of un develop area. If you get an apartment has a back or side view, that would be the station railway. Horrible view but this apartments close to Marina attractions.
Review 4：close to marina attractions
Review 5：The room was very dusty - you can see a layer of dust on the tables and furnitures. Ended up hurting my back trying to sit on the executive chair not knowing one caster is missing. Entrance to the room and bathroom have watermarks.
Review 6：Close to harbour and restaurants also close proximity to where daughter lives. We like to spend our leisure time around the harbour with it's scenic walks and good food without having to drive.
Review 7：Bathroom can be a little dangerous, as the water from the shower can cover the whole bathroom.
Review 8：So close to so many great restaurants, bars and cafes. The room was light, roomy, modern and comfortable.
Review 9：Re: Room 511 1. The A/C does not stay on overnight or for extended times during the day. Don't know if this is a time clock issue or a fault. Temp was set at 21 and therefore should not be a problem. If the system is a Daikin VRV system then it needs to be commissioned by a Daikin technician. A general refrig mech does not necessarily know the comm. procedure for these types of system. 2. We paid by direct transfer before leaving Melb but your office had no record of payment even though I forwarded receipt of payment by email at transfer time. Lucky I printed a copy and had it with me as your office would not let us in without proof of payment. Girls at reception faxed my copy to your office. Your problem, not mine, but made to be mine. 3. We weren't aware that your apts were a part of Chifley. When I mentioned this to your staff I was told that there would have been instructions outlining this. Have now checked previous emails and no mention of Chifley. The address given to us was 14 Honeysuckle Drive however the Chifley reception address is in Settlement Lane and signed as Chifley Apt. which we were not looking for.
Review 10：Regardless of my 'Didn't Like' comments the apartment was a good apartment, well located and now that I know how your system works would happily book again as long as A/C works.
Review 11：The only thing we didn't like was that it wasn't clear where it was. There was no sign saying Honeysuckle Apartments anywhere and it was quite confusing. Plus, when we arrived, nothing had been organised and the staff didn't know we were even staying there.
Review 12：It was clean, up to date decor, comfy bed and heaps of room. Absolutely loved it and will be staying there again.
Review 13：The noise of a nighttime was disrupting. The bedroom was so narrow that the foot of the bed was only about 30cm from the wall meaning Yu had to shuffle sideways to go around it.
Review 14：Staff were extremely friendly and the breakfast was really good
Review 15：There seemed to be some confusion with Honeysuckle Apartments (who we booked through) vs Chifley Apartments (where we were actually located). We even had difficulty finding it and had to call - the address given was different to where it actually was. The apartment was modern but didn't have that hotel clean feeling you'd expect, especially when we'd paid over $200 per night! I just didn't think it was value for money. I'd stay there again, but not at that price!
Review 16：The location was fantastic! Staff were lovely and helpful.
Review 17：Bedrooms rather small, person getting out of bed on opposite side to door was required to use athletic skills as not enough room to walk around bed. Oven was dirty
Review 18：Location & that a family of four could be accommodated together in a little more room than a hotel room.
Review 19：Advertised as penthouse. It's not. It was small, cramped. Had to crab sideways to get around the bed. We complained and got moved to different apartment complex.
Review 20：Not mcuh
Review 21：Although I like to have a Spa bath I found it hard to reach the taps and it was difficult to get in and out( I had to take extra care-safety).
Review 22：Apartment was spacious and comfortable, lounge and large fridge was nice.
Review 23：Pictures didn't depict room accurately. Bedrooms very small and doors to bedroom do not offer privacy as made of glass, not even frosted. Mould on tiles and grout in bathroom.
Review 24：Great location
Review 25：Hard to find. Needs separate external signage to distinguish Honeysuckle apartments from Chifley apartments. Magnetic cards rarely worked. Bedroom very small.
Review 26：Good to be in walking distance from key Newcastle landmarks. Kitchen/living area is spacious.
Review 27：I was called on the Friday night to say there was trouble with my booking and I had been moved. Emails were sent with new details including having to pick up and drop off keys on a busy Newcastle Street. Room was ok, lot of grease on cupboards dirty crockery. no Foxtel or reception facilities. no local area information. it was obvious this room was privately owned and dumped on us at the last minute, my previous stay in the hotel apartments was excellent, this time very disappointing. Feel like I have been taken for granted.
Review 28：Dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants.
Review 29：It was hard to find the Honeysuckle apartments as there is no signage on the building. There was no correspondence advising that we had to check in at the Chifley Apartments.Access to the Underground parking was difficult as the key card seldom worked. Despite the fact that our room rate did not include servicing of the apartment, I felt that it was unreasonable to expect us to empty the rubbish bins as our stay in the apartment was for 7 days.
Review 30：The location was great - close to the harbourfront, walking distance from the city centre, cafes and beaches.
Review 31：The bed could be made more comfortable with a thick soft underlay.
Review 32：Location is excellent, central but very quiet. The layout of the apartment was excellent, very spacious and well appointed. The large balcony was such a bonus.
Review 33：One single bed had no doona--just a thin, folded, single blanket inside cover so mattress topper found in cupboard had to be used. Very strong odour of room deodoriser.
Review 34：Crisp white linen, good location, warm & cosy, quiet, excellent self catering facilities.
Review 35：smoke alarms were poorly place, going off with the least excuse.While the apartment was generally pretty clean I think the housekeepers were stretched trying to cope with all the mirrors and glass and some details went unattended, eg the last guest’s grill pan was still greasy, the microwave hadn’t been wiped out, the tumble dryer lint filter had not been emptied, the shower screen was a bit scummy.
Review 36：This apartment let us live comfortably, cook the majority of our meals , wash our clothes, sleep undisturbed and visit an occasional good restaurant. Parking in the area was manageable, especially after 5pm. Bedding and linen were very clean and mattress comfortable. The tariff was discounted on length of stay. Both reception and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful.
Review 37：The place was dirty. Floors, shower, bench tops and inside the refrigerator all were stained or dusty or just dirty. One of the hand towels had lipstick or nail polish on and had just been refolded. It was misrepresented in that it over looked a rail line as opposed to the foreshore. Very disappointing.
Review 38：none
Review 39：Spending just 1 night on the way to Queensland, but find this hotel really comfortable. Big + for check out up to 11 am . I will stay here again.
Review 40：Cleaning left a little to be desired fingerprints on doors vacuuming not as good as it should have been
Review 41：Location and generally the room. Not as good this time
Review 42：Bedrooms too small - no bedside tables in second bedroom - only 1 storage cupboard for 4 peoples luggage - joking - half taken up with additional bedding etc before start. Card entry problems encountered - carparking fees why? & too dear- A/C didn't really work.
Review 43：Location was great for our venues but too dear overall.
Review 44：Only two towels for us for three days, only two rolls of toilet paper had to borrow from another room (friends) smell in the halls very stale, breakfast ........not impressed, had to ask for bacon & eggs did not come together and bacon got cold waiting for eggs, it seemed not important to staff , we went else where the other days.
Review 45：Roomy size of the room, great bathroom & laundry facilities, lovely decorated very tastfull, great pool & gym area, very fast lift service & undercover parking excellent
Review 46：The tv in the bedroom doesn't work and the dryer is noisy like it was going to blow up. Aircon had a leaked but maintenance guys came and had look.
Review 47：Spacious apartment and fully equipped. Central location.
Review 48：It's so disappointing that such a nice place didn't have WiFi included in the price.
Review 49：The apartment was well equipped and contained almost everything.
Review 50：Service was poor and they were very rude... Made a formal compliant never bothered to contact to address issue... Very disappointing
Review 51：Location is great. Staff member from chifley apartments was great and dealt with incompetence of staff member from honeysuckle apartments who was rude and tried to charge us $35.00 to fix up bedding
Review 52：there is no building called honeysuckle apartments on earth. it just owns some rooms in chiefly hotel. i couldn't find it until a local person helped me through.
Review 53：big enough, close to shopping mall and supermarkets.
Review 54：The room was nice but needed a touch up of paint here and there. Some if the furniture was on the way out as well. However, was still a good experience.
Review 55：Apartment was ok, location was pretty good. Room was a good size and clean.
Review 56：We were on the first foor where the pool is and when we stepped out of the elevator there was an awful smell up the corridor it was off putting.
Review 57：Great location my friends were upgraded to a 2 bedroom penthouse. Lovely apartments.
Review 58：We told the staff there was vomit in the residents' doorway but they didn't do anything about it.
Review 59：Very comfortable, convenient location, clean, beautifully appointed, awesome pool, tastefully furnished, superb beds.
Review 60：Electrical socket hanging out from the wall Toilet roll holder hanging and not screwed in properly Walls painted poorly, Glass door in 2nd bedroom was glass, a heavy door for kids and dangerous on closing with little fingers Longest PIN number to get into the room
Review 61：Pool was great Staff were fantastic Great layout
Review 62：swipe card very unreliable. Had to change it & even then the second one sometimes didn't work .
Review 63：Having big coffee mugs! Light & airy apartment.
Review 64：The room was dirty with marks on walls and horrible stains on the carpet in bedroom. There was a very load notice whenever a tap was turned on in the whole apartment
Review 65：The bed was comfortable
Review 66：The apartment was very dusty & needed a good clean & vacuum! Down lights & lamps didn't work & the sliding door to the balcony was broken. I didn't like how the 2nd bedroom door / part of wall was frosted glass as the light came through & my kids struggled to sleep. The apartment also felt very bland & needed some soft furnishings to make it feel homely! I stayed in the Chifley Apartments previously & they were much better!
Review 67：Location is great Restaurants near by Harbour views
Review 68：We didn't recall seeing that the accommodation was called Chifley Apartments so we walked (we were on foot - didn't have a car) around the block a few times trying to find Honeysuckle Apartments. We then rang the number and the guy on reception directed us to the building.
Review 69：We liked the location of the accommodation which was very close to the railway station as well as very close to restaurants and the esplanade.
Review 70：I am writing to express my disappointment, despite the location and the apartment which was just lovely, it was the other guest you had staying which were besides us and under us. After having a lovely day out and about in Newcastle we returned at 5pm to shower and proceed out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary, the party had already started on our floor, we returned around 9pm, still partying, that was all fine, still within decent hours of having fun. It was the 1,2,3,4 & five o'clock times of loud and rude behaviour that wasn't tolerable. Knocking on our door saying they were house keeping, throwing bottles off the balcony, loud music, just plain inconsiderate to all others, Honeysuckle Executive Apartments have a strict no party policy “No noise will be tolerated after 10pm” l did mention my disappointment to the lovely girl at reception on Sunday morning and she apologised to no end, very thankful on her behalf. My feed back its more letting you know what is going on once the duty manager leaves at 11pm.
Review 71：location room price
Review 72：cleanliness is very important, our friends found someone elses bra in there room ? thats disgusting, floor in my bathroom could have done with a clean in the corners , I just flet that the apartment was very basic and lacked something , very out of date also
Review 73：The address is not Honeysuckle Drive as advertised, instead the apartments are a block back next to the train tracks.
Review 74：The staff at the Chifley building.
Review 75：I didn't like getting locked in the car park for over an hour unable to raise anyone because the swipe card wouldn't let me back into the lift foya In the appartment the bedsid lights were both broken and not working. There wasn't enough glasses for the 4 people booked to stay. The same with cutlery only 3 sets very poor service of the appartment. The fact that the swipe cards don't work properly is very serious. I believe we are owed a problem free stay for the money. I would not recommend this appartment as we were not speaking to the management of the appartment the staff seem to be concerned with the chiffley appartments and while they were helpful they shouldn't have needed to do anything if the staff employed by you to service the appartment had done their job correctly.
Review 76：The location and the size was good beds comfortable.
Review 77：Location is fabulous and staff were very polite and helpful. The rooms are huge and have everything you need to be comfortable. Excellent value for money!
Review 78：The apartment itself wasn't too bad, but the bedroom was terrible, 2 very small single beds that were not dressed and just had a white sheet over a roughly folded blanket, we line up against a white tiled wall, this was really disappointing. I also think I paid extra for a view, but there was no view. I do not understand how they can be called an executive suite.
Review 79：The location was excellent, the staff were warm and friendly
Review 80：On arrival had an issue on checking in and rang honeysuckle and had a rather abusive conversation from your staff member a young gentleman. Still had no response after talking the next day with you. Very bad customer service.
Review 81：The room was not clean and had no soap etc in bathroom. The TV was not working on all Channels. The set up between the chiffley and Honeysuckle is very difficult to get your head around as there is little communication between the two for the guest.
Review 82：Penthouse small and tacky with black leather furniture and wipe down walls in the bedroom. Thin sharp step into bathroom area. Light bulbs missing. Uninformed reception staff.
Review 83：Great location. Most apartments large and well appointed.
Review 84：Had to ask for new towels and they were very thin. No art work on walls or homely touches, no cushions on sofa or a rug on the floor, no vase for flowers. All hard surfaces and functional.
Review 85：Location is good within easy reach of centre and leisure activities. Had everything you need.
Review 86：Bathroom was a bit grubby, old black leather lounge looked a bit too loved
Review 87：Awesome for a stay if you want to head to a show at civic, short walk. Great choice of bars and restaurants across the street, beautiful waterfront.
Review 88：Payed to park the car under the building, very expensive and had a major problem finding a vacant car space
Review 89：Good location and close to the river and food areas
Review 90：The cleaning was appalling the red mat was disgusting needing a vacuum the office chair had an extremely thick layer if dust on the base There was one pillow the remaining three (three pillows for two people ) were rolled up doonas Cutting costs to the detrament od an ideal location
Review 91：The confusion at reception, Chifley, Honeysuckle? Not knowing about car park fee and taking money off one MasterCard for two rooms with two couples BEFORE arrival. This should not have been done that way without my knowledge.
Review 92：Apartment was very nice and location terrific.
Review 93：Unfortunately these thoughtfully designed apartments are showing the signs of wear and tear. Tiling bedrooms was perhaps a mistake because it's more likely that tiles will suffer impact trauma in bedroom.
Review 94：Close proximity to Honeysuckle development. Had our business meetings beside the harbour - relaxing and highly recommended strategy. Then at night after a few drinks back to room only a few minutes walk away. All too easy.
Review 95：We loved how big the living area was it was great for the kids and the bedrooms were good size for a holiday. We also liked that it was close to an IGA and the wharf area which had restaurants and cafes.
Review 96：Gym is not reply part of complex, and many of the equipment is excluded from use. Not the best location in town. Parking not included and quite pricey
Review 97：Good sized room, kitchenette
Review 98：Thick dust around carpet edges and behind front door kids hand prints on kitchen window. Only basin in bathroom needed additional shelving for toiletries as no vanity to store. King size bed in tiny room made it very difficult to walk around, only one bedside table and lamp. Cannot understand a rating of 8.2 obviously very selective reviews to make that score!!!
