City Quarters on Brewer

I love everything from this hotel and near to the center

Upon arrival I felt I had to contact someone by email as to the state of the room. The reply I received was we are sorry you are not happy we have forwarded the complaint to the relevant person. Never got another reply or any of the issues resolved. The sofa bed could not be used at all as the actual base was missing so when you sat on it you sank to the floor. My son has cerebral palsy so got stuck and I had to assist him out of the seat. The bed was not the size requested. In 10 days nobody so much as emptied a bin. I did request new towels which were kindly given to me by the cleaner. The room was at best shabby at worst dangerous. I have included pictures to give an honest review. I feel all I really wanted was for someone to validate my comments and possibly change the sofa so my son had a nice place to sleep. There was a standard lamp which had no light in it. My son did not feel safe here. And on a night when there was a planned power outage we decided to book elsewhere as I didn't feel safe being in the pitch dark with my disabled son, no security no safety. I would not have left the review in this way if the company had been in contact with me, but on hindsight they definitely did not care about my email or my concerns. I can normally see a bright side to most things and do not leave bad reviews lightly.

Where to begin? There is only street parking so you need to move your car every two hours until 5:30pm. The door to my room was very hard to open. Once inside I discovered that the blinds were missing one of the blades, so anyone in the courtyard could see into my room! There were cobwebs throughout the room. Neither the fan nor the aircon worked. They took an extra $102 out of my bank and still have not refunded it 4 days later! When you ring you are speaking to someone OVERSEAS, who I don’t think actually cares! I really wish I’d read the reviews here before making my booking.

When the keypad to my room stopped working at 6.30 on a Sunday morning there was no way to contact anyone. No emergency phone, no possible instructions. After 45 minutes I woke up another guest who let me use their laptop to ask the the ‘live chat’ told me I’d have to wait until 10am for the cleaners to arrive. After another half an hour of attempting the key pad, I was able to to renter my room, however this meant I no longer felt safe leaving the room to used the shared facilities (the door on the bathroom also extremely difficult to open). Would not stay again.

I think the one star rating says it all, However to satisfy the minimum character count I have to relive the experience for you. So, Lumpy pillows, a smaller bed than my own one at home. No coat hangers in the cupboard which was missing the safety bracket and could have fallen at any moment as the floors are wonky and in need of re-stumping. The shelf above the tiny fridge was broken and is unusable. There is no kettle in the room. Only a shared one in the hallway along with a shared microwave and a shared fridge. I was LUCKY and got my own bathroom (which was pretty clean) but other guests have to share one of them too! There is no real cutlery or crockery supplied only paper cups, a small pile of paper plates and a few disposable forks. There is little insulation between rooms and I could clearly hear other guests walking in and out smoking all evening and my neighbour “exercising” well into the night. I wasn’t very pleased with having to send my credit card and drivers license details to a random text message when trying to check in. But you can’t get the access code to the door without doing it. There is nobody onsite just a few cameras. In all it has the feel of a hostel not a hotel certainly not any kind of hotel that I could honestly recommend to anyone that I know.

Stayed at City Quarters on Brewer for a business trip. Found it very convenient and easy to access specially after hours. The room was very well presented clean and tidy. Location was excellent right on the CBD fringe and walking distance to all popular entertainment and precincts. I would definitely recommend for holiday, business or leisure.

The place is okay but far from what is advertised. The room was cosy although not clean with soap from from the previous occupant still in the shower and dirty floors and sticky walls. The room is in need of some serious maintenance. Wardrobe would be useful if it had hangers. The hallway ‘kitchen’ has only a microwave, kettle, fridge, tea/instant coffee. No bowls or cutlery etc or breakfast cereal as advertised. Overall the place is quite loud due to zero sound proofing so anyone hoping to use said kitchen will wake up the whole place. Could get a nicer cleaner hostel for the same price, choose wisely:)

Absolute crap. Dirty a nasty place to stay Better off staying in a backpackers hostel. Cleaner with more amenities and would be more secure Once you have paid you can not contact them. Contact numbers on the website are disconnected. Total false advertising for the bedroom, linen and towels and especially the Private Bathroom Broken towel racks, broken toilet seats. Shower dirty. Walk through a common kitchen from the bathroom to your room. Never felt so unsafe staying in a place. Just DONT do It

The worst place I’ve stayed in! The room was with rubbish, the door wasn’t in a good condition, there weren’t toilet paper, and dirty bedsheets! Manager and receptionist didn’t help at all! VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!!! Please don’t book in !!!!!
