The Taft was convenient for what we were wanting, it was close to everything
Bronwyn, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap and close to Glenelg.

Cheap and close stay to the restaurants in Glenelg. It’s honest accommodation so don’t judge it too harshly.
Max, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay. Recently renovated room very lovely. Friendly communication for room code. Great spot and very close to the beach area. Recommend this accommodation
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place well and truly exceeded my expectations. It’s clean, extremely well located and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and always easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
Gabi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect spot for shopping eating beach etc. the main area of the room was very good I.e. clean, spaceious amenities including sink, cutlery, microwave etc. only area that needs a good scrub or upgrade is the bathroom.
Judith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location to Glenelg and beach, 5min walking distance, quiet street, Pool was advertised but access was not possible ? Otherwise highly recommended
Geoff, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hard to get response from reception.
Donna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Unfortunately the freezer on the fridge had no lid on it so all our food froze and had to throw out. The TV sound couldn’t go up or down and was too loud to keep on. Noisy boys in both units next to us came home at 3.30am in morning and the walls are so thin we heard every swearing word.
Rachielle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was ok but the room wasn’t as good as the room I had on a previous stay even though it was same price
Pamela, 2-night trip

Appartment we stayed in needed maintenance. No cord on blinds so we couldn't open them, dining table very unstable and not safe to use as it was a glass top. Unfortunately these appartments are not manned which we where unaware of when we booked.
Julie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient

Clean and convenient to city centre for Coles or to beach. Only one difficulty for me is with wheelchair that I need to go up on 1/ F by stair case. Overall is good to stay with families.
Fei, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, comfy bed and room. However the key pad to get into the room was a little dodgy and hard to get in.
Amy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is so close to the main area and at a reasonable price.
Glen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well located in Glenelg
Lynette, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We expected an older style unit in need of a facelift. We didn’t expect a unit that was in a state of disrepair! NOT CLEAN. Bathroom ceiling had huge patch of paint/plaster coming away with what looked like mould. The vanity had a drawer taped together with packing tape and there were holes in the wall where I assume there was once a towel rail. Wall lights above both beds didn’t work. Huge amount of light comes into the bedroom from outside security lights despite the blinds. Unit 22 is only carpark not marked so you get to play guess where to park. We contacted the property with our concerns before leaving this review.
Morkos, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No front desk or staff at property so no mechanism to checkin aside from dodgy looking link outside hotels.com with extra fee at 4%, which doesn't align with the ACCC. Despite checkin being at 2pm, I was sent details on how to access room at 5pm.The carparking is essentially on street, not covered. Rooms are accessible directly to street. No conditioner provided. Went to use a mug and the first 3 I pulled out of the cupboard were dirty.
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

After 4 attempts I eventually found a clean coffee mug. The sliding door to bathroom/toilet does not completely close so it's a bit embarrassing if anybody is in the kitchen opposite. I'm sure these issues can be followed up as it's a great unit with easy access to all that Glenelg has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
Carmel, 3-night trip

BRANKO, 3-night trip

The room could have been cleaner. The shower pipes rattled. Please repaint numbers on car parks so it is easy to see. It was a convenient location for us.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, kitchenette, Kayo and Netflix on TV, quiet.
Glen, 3-night trip

Clean room modern enough only bad thing is only 5 mins of hot water
Nathan, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Generally a nice apartment and stay. Downsides -queen bed was SO firm it was difficult to sleep, there was a lot of “people” noise from a close apartment during the middle of the night on several nights and we had problems every time we left the apartment to lock the door which was SUPER annoying.
Gina, 3-night trip
