Ulster Apartments in Hamilton

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Ulster Apartments is praised for spacious, budget-friendly units and generally clean interiors, with many guests finding the location convenient to town, supermarkets and the stadium, and communication from staff clear before arrival.

Common drawbacks include recurring weak shower water pressure, awkwardly high bathtubs and slow drainage.

Overall, expect simple, self-contained, low-cost accommodation suited to practical stays.

It is outdated. Property condition in need of TLC parking a little tight. Room 1 is the better room to use with big families. But it is convenient to the stadium which is why we use these apartments. Reception staff very friendly. The only let down would be having to go to another hotel to check in. There is a $100 bond which you'll get back if there are no damages. And shower to high to climb into. Has all the facilities that you need kitchen, dining area, beds, bathroom and heatpump so not bad. Prices do go up a bit so i suggest to wait before doing an early purchase. Dont pay more than you need too.

Pro’s - Great location. Close to get grocery’s. Spacious rooms. Bedding and towels provided. Good if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower. Cons - Mattresses uncomfortable, not enough extra blankets so we used heater all night. Low water pressure, shower is half a metre off the ground (huge step to get in and out) and water doesn’t drain straight away so your standing in a few inches of water. Parking is very tight when full.

C’est propre mais vieux. Pas de rideau à la fenêtre de la cuisine et un très fort éclairage extérieur. La plafond de la salle de douche et certains endroits sont moisis et avec des allergies ça a été un peu compliqué. Les lit sont bons et propres. Il y a un grand frigo et un micro-onde neufs mais les éléments de la cuisine devraient être remplacés. L’accueil est sympathique.

Easy check-in with a simple txt sent a couple of days prior to say that check-in is actually down the road at their other site. Rooms were clean and tidy with plenty of soft towels. No hand soap which was disappointing but offered shampoo and conditioner. Rooms were warm even in winter which was good as we couldn't locate the heat pump remote. Couldn't get hold of anyone to check-out on the Sunday morning as reception doesn't open until 9am. Eventually someone answered one of the phones we rung.
