Swainson on Bent

Don’t look too closely! The food between the cushions on the sofa…..the grubby plates, the window that doesn’t close so you risk losing your possessions. And the check in! Find somewhere else to go!

I expected internet access but did not get any at all during my stay. I was given the classic ISP reason for the issue. The accommodation itself appears poorly maintained with a lot of furniture and furnishings damaged and dated - the chairs and table in the balcony were damaged, cigarette burn on the sofa, lights above the kitchen area, leaking kettle. On arrival, I found a cup of milk in the microwave that looked like it had been forgotten about, an underwear in the washer, and old crumbs of burnt cheese in the oven tray as was about to heat up some food. This says a lot about the cleaning service being provided. Building facilities are also inefficient. The rubbish disposal was always full. The lifts were not working when we were checking out so we had to carry our luggage down via the fire escape stairwell. Overall, you get what you’ve paid for and less. The only 5/5 rating I can give is for location as it is walking distance to Rundle Mall. My suggestion to the owners - review your ISP and cleaning services. They may be cheap but you’re getting scammed.
