Stanley Apartments

What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers describe Stanley Apartments as clean, good-value, and generally quiet, with a convenient location near Claudelands/Globox and shops, making it a practical base for families and event-goers seeking straightforward, no-frills accommodation at a fair price.

Rooms are spacious for the price, but decor varies from newly updated to dated, and several mention small or elevated showers, limited power outlets, or missing sofas/ovens. Service feedback is mixed: some praise daily servicing and easy check-in, while others were frustrated by off-site key collection, a delayed bond refund, or a rude reception interaction. Other recurring notes include parking that can be tight at times and occasional TV streaming problems. Expect a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay with variable room finishes.

It was comfortable enough to sleep the night, was clean & the bedding was great quality. The neighbouring houses were in & out in their cars throughout the night. Was hard to park our ute. When we returned that night 2 cars had parked over the white lines so we couldn't fit in the only park left.

very dated basic accommodation - no TV channels - as only wifi TV which kept hanging up and only allow 3 online TV1 TV2 and Duke channel - to top things off cockroach crawling around walls - definitely not worth the money charged - old and dated elevated shower - no good for tall people at all

Don’t do it. Check in is 10 minutes away from the property. Maybe I got an unlucky night when a young crowd booked to stay. As it’s only a few permanent residence and guests staying, sleeping a few extra’s in their room for a night out is easily done. Left acc pre loaded at 10.30 pm, arrived home 3am. Within 15 minutes, 1 guy was beating the crap out of my car parked in the property. I left with a damaged car, tired and unhappy, apartment was ok.

Photos do NOT do this place justice. We booked based on good rating and price despite the average photos, and we’re happy we did. Very clean, great location that’s within 10mins drive of anything you’ll need (i.e., dining, grocery, shopping, parks) and plenty of parking. Friendly room service checking in daily which was also nice. Will happily stay here again.

It is a basic apartment but relative to cost. It has been resently updated. Everything was clean and new. My only suggestion would be to put a hold rail to get into and out of the shower. Quite a step up for those of us with knee problems

The room was clean and tidy enough. We have stayed here before and last time we got one of the bigger rooms at the front. This one was at the back and not as spacious but still nice. Perhaps newly painted or something as it did have a strong smell in it. Only downfall was there was no plugs for the jug in the kitchen. Good value for money and good walking distance to the Globox Arena that we were going to an event to. Would stay again.

We received an email at 3:17pm the day of check-in that you can't check in at the hotel. You have to check in at another hotel, which is a 15 minute drive away. If you are thinking of checking in to this hotel, you should be aware of that.

Chose this appartment as close to Roaming Giant where we had a function. It was clean and adequate for our needs. The beds were comfortable. There was tea and sugar provided but no long life milk. That would be my only negative. The key was just a flimsy plastic card - would have been better to have something more chunky as it got misplaced a few times.Overall a good stay.
