“Safe and Satisfactory”

5/5 found this review helpful

I stayed one week at these apartments at the end of October 07 when I was out in Sydney visiting my son and daughter in law.

The location is excellent as everyone has said. The bus stops right outside for Bondi Junction or Sydney centre.

It is a 5 minute walk to cafes and shops (although there is a convenience store across the road) and it was a very safe area.

The studio I had (number 11) was perfectly satisfactory, it was clean and had everything I needed.

The bathroom was excellent - although I would have appreciated a towel change sometime during the week.

The bed was comfortable and although the sheets/bedding was clean - some of it was frayed and a bit torn.

Security is pretty good and no-one can wander in to the complex unless they are admitted by guests.

The pool was a bit odd being in the middle of the car park but it was a pleasure to swim in.

The people on the front desk were pleasant and helpful.

Downside: well at night some people made a lot of noise and were crashing around up and down the stairs which was a bit irritating. With no concierge on the premises at night there is no-one to complain to and I certainly wasn't going to go out on my own and tackle the people at 3 or 4 am.

At the rear of my apartment was a tennis club - which started playing about 6.30am some days!

My main gripe is the large window with the vertical blinds. People passing by CAN see in if the light is on. This is because there is a gap and with the wardrobe doors being mirrors as you walk towards the studios you can actually see in the entire studio as it reflects.
I was not happy about this and it needs sorting.

I was otherwise quite happy in my studio but might have preferred to stay at the large hotel on the seafront if I had a bit more cash, it looked very nice.

“Excellent Value. Basis but very clean and convenient.”

Ultimate Apartments Bondi Beach

Aug 15, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed in the apartments for 4 weeks while visiting our daughter who lives in Bondi. The apartments are in an top location just a few min's walk to the beach and shops.

We checked in late at night and had no problem as the keys were left out with a little note for us and instructions on how to get to the apartment. The staff are very friendly and were around during normal office hours.

Important to be aware it is not really a hotel, more like renting an apartment from a real estate agent then you just do your own thing. Our room was cleaned every week. It's nice as we wern't hassled all the time by cleaning staff and we just came and went as we pleased!

Simple but sufficient kitchen. Very secure block.

Had a great stay. Nice and good value. Will stay again next year!

“Basic accommodations good value”

Ultimate Apartments Bondi Beach

Jul 24, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Our experience at Ultimate was much as described in the reviews here. The accommodations are clean and basic. One appeal of Ultimate is its central location in Bondi Beach - five minutes from the beach, nestled close to cafes, shops and fooderies plus the bus stop is directly on O'Brien out front of the property. The furnishings are adequate - heat and AC are hit or miss but plenty of hot water. One caution is the staff is minimal and hard to find and facility is completely dark after midnight - stumbly dangerous at night in fact with not so much as a nightlight left burning to lite the way of early risers. In this price range and location, this is great value despite the shortcomings for basic, comfortable, accommodations. Reasonably quiet.

    • Disliked — dark, staff largely absent - minimal

“Good for the price, but don't expect a lot”

Ultimate Apartments Bondi Beach

Jul 16, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

There was a small ant problem in my room around the countertop. The screen doors didn't have a stopper so they always slammed and made a lot of noise, and closed on our luggage or heels.

Don't get this confused as a hotel, you will have to wash the two towels they give you and your own sheets, blankets, etc. in the room downstairs. There are no amenities such as soap but a tiny bar by the sink.

***There is NOBODY at the desk after like 5pm! Some guy just arrived at 6pm and had no call back on the number listed on the door, so he was stranded and couldn't get a room that he booked. Also, it's a gated/locked premise so he couldn't even get in. TERRIBLE! ***

They also leave your mail outside the lobby door for anybody who stays there to look at and maybe take. !!

Other than that, it was a FANTASTIC location just down the street from Bondi Beach. We loved the cafe areas. The rooms were simple and neat, no complaints about that. They came stocked with dishes, plates, etc. The staff was very friendly.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The price
    • Disliked — That there was no way to contact the staff after 5pm, and not enough towels provided

4/4 found this review helpful

We stayed here for a few nights in March and I have to say it is a GREAT location! Bus stop right outside which takes you right into Sydney city centre and Bondi Beach a 5 min walk down the road with great cafes and bars on the way. The lady that runs the apartments is super friendly and helpful and really made us feel welcome. The apartments were bigger than we thought they would be - have everything you need and yes are basic but were perfect for what we needed. My only complaint is the blinds for the big window facing the hallway - so not anything to be worried about! I wholeheartedly would recommend this as somewhere to stay if you are not keen on forking out the big bucks and want to stay somewhere nice!
