Altitude@Taringa

"This is a beautiful run student accommodation that is very clean, friendly and is a great experience if you want study, very close to everything and very convenient."

"I have never posted a review or complained about a business in my entire life (it’s something I find rude to do and unnecessary) but I feel obliged to write something for anyone considering staying here. The rooms are fitted with extremely outdated and old furniture and the place is incredibly dirty and worn. If you think the price for a room is too good to be true, it certainly is. Noise is an issue, Paper thing walls I could hear conversations down the hall while I was in my room of the apartment. wasn’t a student when I stayed here but I could imagine it would be very hard to study with the loud noise and little to no working air conditioning for the hot conditions in Brisbane. To top this off they conduct room inspections and maintenance checks nearly every week so you have random people in your apartment all the time with out them seeking approval from you because it is a clause in the lease that I didn’t think it would be weekly occurrence because that would be very unusual. But all of this didn’t even come close to how poorly managed this place was. I signed a 3 month lease and told them before I signed it that I just needed a place to stay for a short period and that I will leave at the end of the three months. I even gave 3 weeks notice before the end of this time period to remind them I was leaving. I waited patiently for my bond after leaving. Two weeks after leaving, I sent them an email asking for a timeframe on when my bond might return. No reply. I continue to send them an email every 3 weeks for an update on when I might get my bond back with minimal reply. After nearly 4 months of waiting for my bond to be returned I went to the RTA to lodge an official compliant and eventually I got half my bond back. Only after they had deducted half of it for “cleaning cost” last time I checked it doesn’t cost 400 dollars to clean a single room/ensuite. To Say I’m disappointed with the experience and management of this place would be a great understatement. As I’ve said this is literally my only review/ compliant I have ever done in my life. But I felt an obligation to do it so no one goes through the same experience as me. Please consider any other accomodation other than altitude at taringa."

"I lived there for 9 months. Not a single issue. The complex constantly being kept clean. Pets control done. There is an option that you can bring in your own furniture which is very handy. Friendly and descent people living in the complex. In addition to that, Remilda is a legend. Always helpful, friendly, patient and always smiling. Thanks for the wonderful time I had in Altitude complex."

"The wall is like paper thick, I can hear the noises from the living room and even from the room besides me. If you're a light sleeper looking for quiet place to stay, this is not a good choice."

"AVOID if you are a student. The noise and inconsiderate management (deliberately scheduling hugely interrupting maintenance across exam times every semester) will mean your grades will suffer. If you are an investor, this is a bad investment as all students leave after a few months because of bad treatment and very high costs."
