Apartments on Chapman

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They let us leave our car there so we didn't have to pay for parking at the hospital after we checked out. Beds and pillows were nice and comfortable. Suited us for a short stay to be near the RCH for our sons procedure.

The apartment is well situated and met all of our requirements. Super comfy bed and off street parking. Great little kitchenette and lift was very useful. The staff are amazing and went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

Very overpriced, broken room, very dirty, even wondered if the bed was safe to sleep in. Room Door has been broken into and needs to be adjusted from the outside inorder to shut it. Happy I packed lots of hand sanitizer. If you need to visit the children's Hospital it's the closest.

My friend is a new organ transplant recipient. She booked this apartment for her post op stay requiring her to be close to the hospital for some weeks. As a recipient she informed the venue of her reason for stay and that she would be seriously immunocompromised during her time , she was reasurredbthis is a commonplace for them and they knew how to accommodate for it. What we were confronted with was nothing less than neglect of any decent standard of hygiene but also a blatant ignorance of any covid regulations. On arrival the receptionist told us we could remove out masks, we declined and explained why. Once in the apartment we were horrified at the filth. I ventured to find someone but they had closed reception for the day. While the linen was clean, the room appeared as if it had not seen a dusting, a mop or vacuum in weeks. The photos attached are evidence enough, all taken within minutes of our arrival. The toilet had been used and not cleaned both the bowl and under the lid. I'm a critical care nurse of many years I know what dried faeces looks like. The bathroom light/fan had layers of dust visible. Being immunocompromised I instructed my friend not to turn the fan nor to use the shower for fear the dust would become mobile. The kitchen was filthy with food particles on the cutlery, the kitchen tiles were sticky, we wore light shoes the whole time for this reason. The scum on glass and other hard surfaces are not easily identified in photos..the shower door, the washing machine door, the hard floor, the kitchen plates. We Dettol wiped small spaces to enable eating from our kitchen paper towels. I could go on but we found another place the next day, moved out and this chapman apartments had the gall to charge for two nights because we left at 12md after check out time. The receptionist cried and deflected her guilt feelings to my friend on checkout, and then told her she was told the room may not be cleaned before check in.. this was not true. I can't imagine checking in to accomodation that had not been been cleaned in preparation for occupancy. I'll now let the photographs speak for themselves. This establishment should be shut down by health authorities. I will also be reporting to Covid watch.

The first room we were allocated was a 1 bedroom, as no double rooms were available. The room was dirty and it didn't look like it had been cleaned since the previous occupant left or the previous occupant before them ! The carpet was stained, the bathroom not cleaned, hair in the shower, leftover soap. Before I put my toiletries in the bathroom cabinet I had to wipe it clean. Toilet paper handle came off as soon as we used it. Couch had a large amount of crumbs in between the cushions. Everything was sticky and grimy. The only good thing I can say is the sheets were clean and the beds comfortable. The next night we were given a 2 bedroom apartment. It was cleaner, but still not that clean. None of the bulbs in the bedside lamps worked. The bathroom floor had not been cleaned, there was a large amount of dust in between the washing machine and shower. The sink was tiny and the water took a long time to go down. Again when using the toilet paper the toilet paper holder came apart. I would advise anyone who stays here to wear slippers as I'm guessing the carpets having been cleaned for a very long time. When we checked out we were told that we were charged less for the 1 bedroom which we were expecting but when we got the invoice we found out we weren't! This hotel is in a good location and had everything there but it was badly maintained.

To start off, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the building is lacking in maintenance and is very tired looking. The apartments are located near the Children’s Hospital so would suit for emergency accommodation if you are looking for somewhere to stay in a hurry.
