Reviews for Western Sydney University Village - Penrith
Review 1：The bathrooms are at the head of the corridor, both of them, so if you have the room on the end of the corridor, it's a bit inconvenient, especially post-shower or in the middle of the night. Mattress being little more than a slab of foam kind of sucks too, but is not completely horrible.
Review 2：Check-in was prompt, apartment clean - same apartment as last time but different room - the fridge had been properly cleaned this time (no food left over), check out was easy when I had to leave early in the morning, room was all in order.
Review 3：There was some food in the fridge when I got there from a previous resident, as well as bottles of body wash/shampoo etc in the bathroom. The pay parking is a rort. Last two nights the machine was out of order (not before twice taking my money!) and I didn't get a ticket. No internet in room and mobile reception a bit spotty. No air-con, just a fan, unbearable when it was 40C.
Review 4：Very cheap, well-located for where I wanted to be. Room was clean and very new, access was secure, convenience stores relatively close-by. Check-in was easy after I called the RA. Spare blankets and pillows were in the room. Kitchen was fully equipped and quite amazing (did not use though). Room was quite quiet, I found it reasonably easy to find. LOADS of storage in the room, lots of drawers etc which is great if you're staying for a while. Good desk too. Shower was hot and strong the way I like it. Would definitely recommend if you were travelling in a group, and will stay again as a solo, it's not too bad.
Review 5：The parking ticket that isn't valid for 12 hrs from purchase time I like 2 pillows The sheets were a little hot, maybe not enough cotton content
Review 6：It was a clean and comfortable room and apartment
Review 7：Lack of signage, parking ticket boxes didn't work, stains on carpets, stains on lounges, stain along hallway,dirty cutlery, only one thin blanket, no feedback form, hole in lounge room wall, screens off and leaning on balcony, hairs on bathroom floors, unfriendly security man, smokers whose smoke blew right into the kitchen window from floor below.
Review 8：Some room had clean sheets, towel, bathmat and some soap and hair shampoo/conditioner. The location had a country feel to it.
Review 9：The staff said they had just cleaned but it was very dirty on the floor and bathroom was a bit filthy.
Review 10：Close to train station and food outlets.we booked whole apartment and liked the space.value for money.
Review 11：The key collection process.... Someone else in there? Don't know who going through the garbage? Please cc me my paper form
Review 12：The room and bathroom
Review 13：urine on the toilet seat, a ladder in the bathroom going into the roof space, jug not working, nothing to light gas with, food in the draws, food in the microwave and did not look like it had been cleaned for a long time.
Review 14：I liked the set up, reasonably priced, staff helpful. I would stay again in the hopes that our dirty rooms were a once off.
Review 15：Difficult to locate office. No signs to help direct visitors. Long distances & many stairs for guests with mobility issues.
Review 16：The daytime staff member was efficient & helpful.
Review 17：The heaters didn't work for the first 3 nights. Pillows are too thin. Not enough glasses and mugs for the five of us.
Review 18：Staff were very helpful in providing doonas and blankets when the heaters didn't work. great set up for a group of friends.
Review 19：Did not have wi-fi, sharing a bathroom with other guests who can be a bit rude at times and that you have to pay an extra 7 $ a day for parking hikes the price up again for what is offered and no breakfast or complementary tea or coffee
Review 20：The location
Review 21：very dirty and very low kitchen facilities for people how travel for 1 week we must bring all staff with us or spend money for tea towels, some dishes etc
Review 22：close location to international regatta centre, big rooms
Review 23：Some people are feral, sharing with them requires patience. This is the only accommodation I've booked anywhere in the world where you must pay for parking 24 7. I got a $104 fine at 2.30am. That is revenue raising and very excessive.
Review 24：Price
Review 25：No hot water in the shower on the first morning. Parking was a pain. $7 per 24 hours. It should be thrown in with the room if you are staying on campus - especially in non-teaching times. Eventually worked out how to park nearby off-campus and walk to the accommodation.
Review 26：Inexpensive, clean, quiet and conveniently located - if you need to be in Penrith.
Review 27：when sleeping you can hear the bed and the person on the other side of the wall but luck the person didn't snore so i still got a good sleep.
Review 28：very nice , modern and was a clean place. lots of privacy not many people.
Review 29：I would love to see them be a little more pro-active for guests - with things having some teabags/milk in the unit, enough cups, a tea towel; and blankets for the beds. And if not, to let people know that these are not available. I realise Sydney accommodation is expensive - but I think a small pack of the above for paying guests would make it more welcoming and better value for money.
Review 30：We really liked the location of this accommodation; and the space it gave for a large group travelling. The staff were excellent and extremely helpful.
Review 31：No air conditioning. Daily parking fee of $7.00 for on-campus parking.
Review 32：Spacious room with plenty of cupboard space. Comfortable bed. Common use of refrigerator, microwave, oven / grill and kitchen crockery and utensils.
Review 33：The apartment was very modern,clean,quite & spacious. We had the five bedroom two bathroom apartment. We checked in at 8 PM no problems at all. The staff was very friendly. I recommend this place for large family accommodation. I will stay there again.
Review 34：UWS grounds were a bit hard to find your way around but that's about all I can pick on.
Review 35：Great accomodation if you do a lot of tunnel time at IFLY Downunder. Only 9 mins away and clean, cheap rooms.
Review 36：The fact that we couldn't cook, fire alarm issue, we understand it was a rule within the building not good for a family of five. The beds were not comfortable at all. We all had a terrible night sleep. Not good for a family, might be good for a group of young travellers.
Review 37：The apartment was clean and the kitchen was tidy.
Review 38：No signposting. Difficult to find. Didn't know which car park was closest. Confusion over where to get a parking ticket. Number for out of hours staff not available till you get there. No signposting for accommodation office
Review 39：great value for money accommodation. Great heating/cooling and bathrooms. Very clean, quiet and spacious.
Review 40：parking rate of $7 a day even though my vehicle was not on campus 8am to 7pm. Parking meter only delivers tickets until 12 midninght. Very confusing and frustrating. Only one very thin blanket in room- had to request more but they were delivered which was good (only cold one night).

Review 43：it was close to where I wanted to go, so it was convinient
Review 44：Not enough hot water for a shower. Having to pay to park but not that big of an issue
Review 45：The cleanliness of the facilities All the extras that a hotel or other accommodation lacks like a large fridge and freezer, micro wave, oven and all the other useful equipment.
Review 46：the signage at the uni was very poor- we arrived after dark and had no idea where to get our key from. the map that downloaded with the booking led us to the wrong side of the hwy. luckily another guest was eventually able to assist us.

Review 91：Difficulties in finding staff for checking in/out. Guess due to weekend and vacation.
Review 92：Just very well appointed accommodation
Review 93：Only one very thin pillow and an extremely light blanket were provided. The wardrobe does not have any hanger. The parking costs too much, $7.00 a day! Hourly parking fee is not available. Even a visitor has to pay $7.00 for a short time parking!
Review 94：Cleanliness, quite and specious place. The kitchen has plenty of items to use. The room and the lounge area is very spacious. Bathrooms are very clean.
Review 95：If I had to choose something it would have to be access to the room. My elderly father was with us who sometimes uses crutches to help with walking. Not a big issue though as he managed to get to the room just took longer than he would have liked
Review 96：Comfort - we traveled back to QLD the next day and the drive was good because we all had a good nights rest. My youngest daughter (5) enjoyed it so much she wanted to stay another night.
Review 97：Pathetic pillow. Had I not found a second one my neck would have suffered.
Review 98：Solid modern construction, very quiet, decent size rooms, mattress was pretty good.
Review 99：the map and direction that booking.com supplied on the web site was very poor. took two hours to find the village.streets were up to 4 klms apart. very fastration to find the localityof the village booking.com 1300 numberwas veryunhelpful when asked for help.
Review 100：(1) The room was not airconditioned, not comfortable at all during summer. (2) The wardrobe did not have a single hanger. I asked the reception to provide me a few hangers to hang my clothes, but they did not supply a single one. This was a basic supply they should provide. (3) $7 parking fee for a day is too much for a stay of $50/day.
Review 101：The room was big, and clean. The kitchen and lounge are spacious. Thehostels are relatively quite new.
Review 102：There were dirty towels left on bathroom floor from previous guests also plates bowls and cutlery left on drying rack several of these items still had traces of food on them also not enough plates glasses and forks for five people.
Review 103：Apart from towels and cutlery incident's it was very clean and the fact that we all had own bedrooms was a bonus excellent bathrooms lounge and kitchen area quite large,would stay again
Review 104：The kitchen had a sink full of unwashed cutlery and utensils. My wardrobe had a lot of tissues and other such things stuffed on the top shelf and it came down on me. The parking is a long way from the rooms.
Review 105：It is a modern building and the room is fine. Nice area to sit and relax. There is a kitchen that you could use to cook meals.
Review 106：In the booking.com, the advertisement states "All accommodation is air conditioned", but this is not true. There is no air-conditioner in the apartment I stayed in. This is quite misleading, and disappointing too.
Review 107：The apartment is very neat and clean. It is very close to the University of Western Sydney. The room size is spacious. The kitchen is big, well equipped, and has all necessary utensil for cooking.
Review 108：It is only good if you want to visit UWS. Otherwise, it is very far from the nearest train station and the city.
