Our Cruise Holiday
Pros:

APX World Square is close to shops and transport. Reception staff were friendly, welcoming and check-in was fast. The apartment was large with a good sized kitchen, bathroom and balcony. When we visit Sydney in the future, we will stay here again.

Cons:

Everything was good.

Pros:

The location is great, not far to anywhere in the city. The room was clean and comfortable with a balcony. We could sit outside in the morning and drink our coffee in the sun. The bathroom had everything, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and moisturiser. Fresh, clean towels.
The kitchen was well equipped with toaster, jug, coffee and tea. A microwave and hotplates with oven. Well equipped suite.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like. This is our 3rd stay with APX WORLD SQUARE

Otherwise we had a great stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. And lots of good food
Pros:

Location and clean

Cons:

There was an evacuation during our stay.
There was no communication about the reason for the evacuation. Only saw one staff member.
Very poorly managed, no fire wardens , no head count or instructions.
Perhaps some staff training in this area

4 school friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay and voted to return next year.
Pros:

2 wonderful apartments. Very clean with all we could wish for. So centrally located and World Square shopping centre across the road was fantastic. All 4 of us 70+ ladies were very impressed with the hotel and all voted to stay there again next year for our annual catch up with 2 other school friends who live in Sydney.

Cons:

Nothing at all
