Pros:

The location and the room was excellent

Cons:

One of the lifts stopped working properly but the staff didn't disable it, so you would go for a ride and not go to your floor.

Great location for a city stay!
Pros:

APX was a great location for our brief stay in Sydney! The bed was comfortable and the room quite spacious with almost everything we needed in the kitchenette! Having a private balcony was also a nice addition!

Cons:

TV didn’t work properly, although they did try to fix it while we were there! And there was just one fork!
