Taft Apartments

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Taft Apartments earns praise for its walkable Glenelg location near the beach and shops, while overall experiences vary, with some guests satisfied and others noting issues that affected comfort and ease of arrival.

Many guests highlight good value, generally quiet surroundings, and comfortable stays in some renovated or well-equipped units. Recurring issues include aging bathrooms, broken blinds or lights, short or unreliable hot water, noise from neighboring units, very firm mattresses, and parking that can be confusingly marked; some also struggled to obtain entry codes or timely responses. Expect a simple stay if you are comfortable with self check-in and variable room standards.

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.

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.

Parking was good, quiet surroundings & short walk to the main CBD. Didn’t receive an email re check in details prior to checking in, however, contacted property re same & was immediately sent mail details of check in. Third person bedding wasn’t set up, however, cleaner was still on site & provided me with bedding material for the sofa bed.

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.

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.

Loved our apartment and the location. Definitely value for money. Modern decor and facilities were lovely. The bathroom needs a good clean as grout and shower screen had a lot of soap scum. Also the toilet bowl wasn't clean.

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.

Just a couple of things that would not be difficult to put right namely: Blinds in bed room and lounge both needed attention Wall lights were inoperative in lounge and bedroom Tie cords on electric blanket were untied An information sheet for the microwave would have been useful.

The location was great. Quick walk to Jetty Road and the beach. The room was clean although could have done with some maintenance. Bathroom ceiling had paint peeling and some parts of wall had plaster missing. The first room we had, there were issues with the blind not working. After some back and forth with the representative on the phone, we were given another room.

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.
