St George Accommodation

"Very good location and excellent staff, very attentive, and at all times willing to help. Very clean rooms and common spaces. Hotel and rooms in general very old and with lack of maintenance. (mainly windows and curtains) For the value paid in a double room with private bathroom, it could include a small refrigerator and at least one TV. Very dirty kitchen, and full refrigerators for common use, but that is not a problem of the hotel but of some guests who do not know how to live together."

"Nice people to talk to. But of a bumpy start to the long term tenancy. The amenities are on the better side than most places set out like this place. Internet rates are expensive for long-term tenants. Shared facilities seem to be taken care of. Rooms could have come with fridges and tv (not sure if you can bring your own). Over all this place is a lot better than the set up and or other boarding opportunities."

"Avoid. The General Manager is rude and obnoxious and the only activity he appears to engage in is serving notice to long term tenants for no reason. He has been in the news for illegally letting out a now -demolished commercial building to a family as rental accommodation. He gave me notice after I reported an assault on one of my visitors by a fellow tenant. I must say apart from him, the rest of the staff are helpful. This place has a bad reputation thanks to the General Manager and has been taken off the MSD/WINZ emergency housing list. The building has large cracks in the wall and I will wouldn't like to be there in an earthquake. Some of the old fire escapes are blocked off. I liked some of the other tenants but there is usually a bad element present too. AVOID."

"Its okay, The downside of this place is the rooms and beds could do with an up-grade. Could do without the maze affect when your a first timer looking for the laundry or kitchen. The kitchen needs to be re-assessed for cooking availability not enough bench-top cookers for the amount of people who cook at the same time.The 3rd floor balcony for smokers should have closed off ashtrays like the one at the main entrance and the tables bolted into place. There Emergency Evacuation Notices should be in multi lanuages as the place also caters for overseas visitors. Fob-cards have glitches after many attempts when using the elevators! The surrounding environment is way too noisy, but that is what comes with living so central in the Capital City. The upside of this place is their receptionist Naomi, very friendly helpful and has great customer service skills. Jamie is a great manager, and John the building maintenance they will acknowledge you and say hello. The cleaning staff have great attitudes, always smiling and working hard. Good accommodation for short-term, studying students and those who work within walking distance. "If your not honest then improvement will never happen"."
