Essence Apartments Chermside

I liked and appreciated: 1. That the room had two single beds with their own little side tables and lamps and a big window for nice natural lighting. 2. That the space was well thought out, clean, spacious and practical with the kitchenette on one side and beds on the other. I felt that the TV's placement was a bit awkward but I understand why it makes sense. The owners solved this by putting in an extendable arm on the TV. 3. That the kitchenette was very clean and well designed with a full fridge, a microwave, electrical cook top with 2 elements, an oven, a microwave and an electric jug. 3. That there was ample storage in the wardrobe and a place to put sit and place your suitcase. 4. The lighting in the room was nicee and cozy. 5. I like that safety was very important to the owners. There is a main switch controlling the swith for both the stove and the electfical outlet. That was very smart. 6. That there was a lot of signage about instructions on how to use the kitchen and shower room. That was very smart. 7. That there was sufficient cutlery, plates and cups and some nice tea and coffee satchets. 8. That all the cutlery was clean. 9. That the toilet/shower is disability friendly with a foldable shower seat, hand rails and great water pressure. 10. The staff were very professional and checked and were helpful.

Deb at reception was absolutely wonderful. We were there for an emergency medical visit to hospital and she was very calm reassuring and helpful in arranging my room and then helping us both after discharge while waiting for our flights. I had a studio room with king size bed and kitchenette so I could watch tv in bed. I loved the fully equipped guest lounge where we were able to wait after checkout and discharge. Also loved the proximity to the hospital and the go brekky.

The lounge area was brilliant and the staff were lovely parking was easy

Best location to visit relatives in near by hospitals. About 5 minute walk to Prince Charles Hospital. Apartments clean and modern. Twenty minute walk to Chermside shopping centre which has an excellent food court. Staff very courteous and helpful.

Location was quite handy to a few places e.g. bowling club and coffee shop. Did not partake in the breakfast offered. The room was adequate in size, a most comfy bed and pillows and a good sized bathroom. The patio area is a bonus although did not use it due to weather.
