Bathroom shower was broken and no instructions on how to use the microwave convention oven. Also smoked alarm went off on Friday. There was no communication or OH&S to guide or communicate to guests. Only warning message over speaker. As guest we needed to enquire where to go or what was happening. On investigation told it was false due to a system error.

Fantastic 10 day stay. Cannot fault anything. Very comfortable bed, blackout curtains and very clean. Lovely staff. Amazing location in a great area. Being just off the tram line at Arthur Street, The Kinson was ideal. The kitchenette was more than ample - thank goodness for the dishwasher. The restaurant below is Italian. The mushroom pizza with truffles and the gnocci were memorable. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. Very easy to get to the MCG #BRISBANE and Rod Laver Arena

Was a nice room, could have been cleaner. Customer service was lacking and staff not willing to talk and would rather text then verbally communicate.
