Astra Apartments Sydney 355 Kent Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000

"Good location, next to business district ensures steady flow of corporate bookings, but this practice must be stopped. These guys are hostile to their tenants, and if you care a little about for whom you are booking this - please look elsewhere. Inhumane and greedy people. If you came a bit earlier to check in - be sure you will sit on the bench outside at the street, people walking by, with all your bags up until 2PM check-in time. They will see you sleeping on your bags outside but never approach until it is 2:00 PM sharp. Though, you're in a bit of luck here because physically there is no Astra Apartments so you will be spinning around with your bags for around an hour first, looking for it. I afraid to imagine what would happen if I would quit and left keys in the room and door would self-lock. Almost no servicing, be sure you'll be buying your toilet paper and dishwasher detergent. And it is EXTREMELY noisy there."

"Be weary when using Astra Apartments - the apartment(s) may not be actually owned by the registered business name. Moreover, they can be leased under a standard NSW Residential Tenancy Agreement from an apartment owner and then 'sub leased' to a third party (i.e. people booking short term stays). This can be in in breach of the original NSW Residential Tenancy Agreement and the By-Laws pertaining to the property. Be aware and ask questions."

"Ok apartment with best internet i have had in Australia"

"Top notch check in, good communication great location. A bit expensive"

"We were given a flat on the 10th floor in the Trafalgar building at 361 Kent St. First, the limited good news: Good location and good WiFi service is included. Very noisy room; you need earplugs to sleep. Better windows could fix this, or just glaze-in the otherwise useless balcony to provide a sound barrier. Also, the sheets didn't fit the bed so the bed is not comfortable. ... so don't stay here if being able to sleep is important to you. The shower temperature is wild (between cold and painfully hot with no warning); this could be fixed with a thermostatic valve. The basics are missing, e.g. soap and sufficient toilet paper. Also there were insufficient towels; a special request had to be made for a hand towel but even that was taken away at the first cleaning, the request forgotten. There is a bath, but no plug so the bath can't be used. It’s called a “serviced” apartment, but it only gets a brief clean once a week, with the second clean of the two during our stay happening on the day before we left, and so was largely a waste. The flat smelt very musty and damp when we arrived though this improved during our stay. Perhaps the flat we stayed in was the bottom of the barrel, only used when all others are full?"
