Code Apartments

Convenient location

The couch in the apartment we were given was very uncomfortable and unfortunately we ended up with a ground floor apartment even though when booked we were told the room would have a balcony and a view.

Location and facilities

Private and clean

Location and set out

If you need to stay on the north side, the apartments are very conveniently located, just a short walk from the train station, RBWH precinct and UQ campus, and Fortitude Valley for bars, restaurants and shops. It’s also a short drive to the Brisbane airport. I enjoyed that the apartments had a kitchenette and were generously sized. Other amenities were available in the building but I didn’t get to use them. A late night check in was possible over the phone.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky with a very noisy neighbours partying in the apartment next to me the first night, but the staff were understanding and overall helpful with anything I needed through the stay. The apartment itself was clean, but there was water dripping from the ceiling in the shower every time the shower was running. I didn’t receive any communication or instructions prior to the arrival, except for the property approving my request for a late check-in via Booking.com. When I arrived close to 11pm, the front door was locked and no one in sight, I had to call the number from the reservation and explain my situation. The person on the other end started to ask for my card details for a deposit and a photo of my driver licence and credit card to upload to their portal. While I understand this is the usual information required at check-in, it can raise suspicions and discomfort if you don’t like providing such information over the phone to a stranger without any prior communication. It would have been helpful if an email or SMS with instructions was provided prior to the arrival to help both parties navigate the check-in more comfortably.
