Accommodation close to restaurants and public transport- what a find
Pros:

The accommodation was close to so many restaurants and public transport. Easiness to check in and check out.

Cons:

Room needed some maintenance - taps in bathroom had to be turned off really tight to stop them dripping, kitchen table was unusable as it was really wobbly, couldn't watch free to air channels as this was not accessible.

Superb apartment and location.
Pros:

The property was better than we expected, the location and the view were amazing.
There was everything there that we needed, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, we had to ask for additional towels for the pool on the 2nd floor.
We loved it so much that we taped an extra night.
We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be going back

Cons:

Everything in the property was great, there are a few cosmetic bits that are general wear and tear.
The pool on the 2nd floor is very tired and would benefit from an upgrade.

My Sydney accommodation evermore
Pros:

So spacious, modern & clean, central harbour side location. With the best possible viewing of harbour bridge, Circular Quay. CBD, ferries, bay & moorings.

Cons:

Nothing really! It has shower & bath, dishwasher and laundry appliances. Small balcony to enjoy views. Remote control for secure entry to foyer & lifts. Nearby. IGA grocer, & underground food court for Asian street food.
Close to rail station, Luna Park and ferry wharf. Helpful, pleasant reception staff
Short walk to Kirribilli Hotel bar, live music.

Pros:

Absolutely stunning position! Incredible views over the Harbour. A quick 7 minute ferry ride to Circular Quay.

Cons:

Decor dated but wasn't about that for us. Location/view was more important.

The location is fabulous! Trains, buses, ferries and harbor bridge are all nearby.

Terrific staff and service, great location and parking, comfortable rooms.
Pros:

Milson Service Apartments is an exceptional place to stay. We stay there because it is close to the city, it is on the harbour and has fabulous views. Knowing our car is safely parked in their garage and it is free, is such an extra bonus which we so appreciate. It is right near a train station and the ferry, so we always park the car and then use public transport, which is so convenient. Love the staff, they are always friendly and helpful. Great place to stay.

Cons:

I struggle here; there is not a thing I don't like about this place.
I just wish we could stay more often.
Thank you Milson Service Apartments.

An absolute dump dressed up as “serviced apartments”, save yourself and stay literally anywhere else
Pros:

PROS:
Close to the ferry and train station… which is perfect, because you’ll want a quick escape.

Cons:

“Serviced Apartments” is a bold claim. Serviced when… 1999? Nothing here has seen a clean, let alone an update.

Front desk staff were lovely, but I have no idea how he showed Apartment 58 with a straight face.

Peeling paint, broken door knocker, and a front door lock that felt like a mini escape room. Inside? Actually dirty walls. I ended up cleaning them myself… because apparently that’s optional here.

Grubby couch, stained carpets, broken lamps, frayed blinds, and windows that have clearly never met a cloth. Bedroom stain so big it deserves its own postcode. No bedroom TV, and the lounge one is tiny with Foxtel only… lucky us.

Bathroom straight out of the 80s. Peeling paint, taps that won’t turn off (a washer isn’t groundbreaking), and a shower door that doesn’t close, so water goes everywhere.

Furniture? Not a single piece matched. Looks like a full roadside clean-up haul. Zero effort, zero style.

One towel each. Thin, fraying… I’ve seen better paper towels.

Kitchen wasn’t clean. Dining table still had actual food on it. Not a mark… food.

Pool “heated” to 27°C… sure. And I’m the Queen. Lining peeling, no pool towels, so you use your one sad towel for everything.

By the end, I’m genuinely considering a tetanus shot… just to be safe.

Pros:

Great location, nice staff, room was large and quiet.

Cons:

Room was a bit dated, several giant cracks in wall and the shower was in the bath.
