Check in was a shambles. I had emailed prior to the trip to say I would be arriving early, to store our bags, with a reply stating that was ok. When we arrived, there was no one at reception and all indications that no one would be there all day. On calling the ‘help’ number we were advised to walk to their sister apartments, which we did dragging our bags, only to walk back again shortly after as a staff member had turned up to work! He was polite and helpful.
The apartment was large, but all I can say is the photos make it look nice. Cupboard doors were falling off, holes in the wall, toilet seat not secured, toilet flush buttons broken and missing, the ensuite shower was unusable due to no curtain or splash glass and the beds are on wheels so they roll with every movement. It is central and convenient, but the maintenance is very poor.

Fantastic location and close to public transport, shopping and nightlife. The thing that let it down was the general condition of the actual appartment. It was clean enough but would have easily goten an extra star if not so many things were broken. Nonetheless bang for buck and we had a good time.

The place look fabulous but once in there are a lot of details that needs attention. There is plenty of room for improvement in the maintenance, the adveritsed pool and spa has been closed for what it looks a long while, hand towels were not provided even as asked for, and the entry via the garage door never worked.
The location of MacArthur Chambers is perfect for the city. The parking arrangement is a bit painful, but it’s cheap for Brisbane, so that’s compensation. The apartment was lovely inside although our sheets smelt mouldy. Overall it’s really good value and very convenient.
Carpet could be professionally cleaned. Shower needed a major deep clean. The white grout was BROWN & the water didn't drain. I felt unsafe as the balcony door would not latch locked. Also, beware the reception is closed Sat/Sun. This is not something you check when renting a hotel so out of courtesy please state this more obviously! I had NO view, just the offices across from my balcony that I could almost touch. It was in a great spot, however, and it was a really good size.
Wow, I felt like I stepped into an Upper West(East)side Apartment. I was ready to stay longer it was so nice and tastefully decorated. Plus right in the middle of Bristol, close to everything in walking distance, or the Central train station for further exploration. I’ll be back next time.
beautiful old building in a great location, the apartment badly needs to be refurbished. the carpets are very bad, old with marks all over. the main bed mattress was terrible.
The apartment was fantastic. It’s very spacious clean and had great amenities. We did not receive an email with check-in instructions until we had already pulled up to the apartment. We were driving into the parking garage for the building and we were able to call and get a hold of the attendant. However, we already had to go in to the parking area and we had to pay for parking while we went up and got our keys and the key card. You have to have the key card to use at the parking garage or you have to pay to park there. Once we got the key for the apartment the parking was fine. Wilde the apartment is spacious and very nice, the Wi-Fi does not work. There were three different options for Wi-Fi and we tried all three. None of them give you any service in the apartment. Had I known this beforehand I would have gone to a different place to stay because I was on an international phone plan and ended up using all of my data. Even cell service was spotty in the apartment. Be aware, the Wi-Fi does not work in the apartment.
