Oshen Holiday Apartments Yeppoon

Accommodation of this caliber should have at least a 50” to 55” TV not a 26” to 32” TV like my room? Most homes nowadays have at least a 55” to 65” TV. Also a couple of biscuits would have been a nice touch, as most hotels in this price bracket give you a couple of biscuits.

Very small rooms with shared vestibule and laundry with the adjacent room. Laundry is a washer and dryer in one which takes 3 hours to do one load of laundry. Hot water takes 6 minutes to arrive to the room and told “just run the tap until the water comes up” Many dust balls on ceiling above bed. Bathtub floor unstable with crack that opens with pressure. Not the friendliest of staff.

The check in staff member was very friendly and helpful. It was a very convenient location and nice facilities.

We arrived late at Oshen’s and the late check-in was flawless, went very smoothly. That night after a very long 600km drive, going to bed all you could hear was the water in the pipes right behind the bed, from people showering on the floors above, the walls must be very thin. The second night was the same, very noisy pipes, again hard to sleep. But to add to the noisy pipes, the wind was smashing our door and it sounded like people trying to beak in! Not good when you don’t know the area. Another sleepless night was enjoyed! Went to reception the next morning to notify them of the banging door issue and we were giving a piece of cardboard to wedge in the door. Next morning, shower time, as we had plans to meet people for breakfast, go to take a shower, no hot water!! Left the shower running for 25 minutes, still cold water. Rang reception and asked if there was an issue they knew about, “Just leave it running, this building is like that” Personally, we will never stay there again, I will not recommend it to anyone either. If you have a choice between the local Back Packers and Oshen’s… Book the Back Packers. I would not normally give a review this hash however the responses we got to issues were not helpful at all.

I love staying at oschen because of the very high standards

The crew at Oshen made my stay easy and hassle free. Especially as I was arriving late. Thanks crew, will be staying here again when in town

Wish I had read the reviews, unfortunately a colleague booked first. Concur … hearing pipes swishing with water when anyone flushes the toilet at all hours of the day or night. Unacceptable. Concur … 20 minutes to obtain hot water. Pitiful. Have never stayed anywhere in the world whereby you are charged for refilling coffee or tea satchets - or even additional milk. For the price per night these should be complimentary. Why offer coffee pods for sale when you don’t provide a pod machine (like lots of other hotels in this century) hint hint. Just think of the money you could make! Oh listen - the elephant staying in the room above just flushed the toilet ! Swoooooosh. Yes love the thumping of footsteps from above too. Lastly the spa bath is somewhat of a death trap. A plastic gym step stool no doubt very useful for step aerobics is placed on the tiles to obtain more leverage into the shower. It’s an accident waiting to happen. No rubber backing on the feet and it slips around. Bed comfortable. ✔️ AC cold. ✔️ Although I’m sure other establishments offer this. Enjoy the facetious tones of the hotels responses to comments. Shows that they don’t get it and/or don’t really care.
