The room was cosy. The Wifi worked. The kitchenette was useful.
Pros:

close to buses and the hospital and city

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable. Very firm with no comfort layers and the pillows were all very large.
There was no shampoo or soap in the dispenser in the bathroom.

ATTENDING A VERY EARLY HOSPITAL APP WAS A BREEZE
Pros:

Lovely modern, clean apartment. A perfect location for our early morning appointment at Wellington Hospital. Rolled out of bed & we were there. No issues with traffic & finding parking. Very friendly and personable staff.

Perfect family location by the hospital
Pros:

Due to a family illness we needed a home away from home close to the hospital for approx. 15 days. The Soujourn team were only too happy to help, and despite this being a last minute booking were able to juggle things to make sure we were well accommodated during this period. Clean and tidy rooms, minimal traffic noise despite being beside a busy road, excellent facilities and a staff that made a tough time easy and convenient. Excellent value for location and exceeded all our needs, highly recommend.

Clean, tidy, modern & handy to hospital.
Pros:

Clean, tidy, modern with everything you need. Comfortable beds & the petite 2 bedroom unit was very roomy. Location is perfect if you need to be near the hospital but is also handy to shops, supermarkets & cafes. Staff very friendly and helpful. Parking a little tricky as not on site but definitely manageable.
