U Studios Paraparaumu Beach

I was kept awake through the night and early morning noisey neighbours and kids wandering about at 2 in the morning. I couldn’t feel secure so left in the early morning

I loved the stay

Firstly the towel rail wasnt there but a note to say hang towels on rail instead of having them changed daily to help with water and power. Secondly there was a note saying for guests not to use the spa bath or bath but no reason why, this was disappointmenting especially to hear another room was able to use theres. My son and i both have been bite by fleas or something similar from the stay. There was no kitchen sink to wash dishes in so this had to be done in bathroom sink next to toilet...yuck! First night when we arrived we had been left one facecloth for all 3 of us. The next day we were give 2 to use. I had booked us in for 3 people to stay. Thankfully we were given 3 towels. One light didnt work and the fan in bathroom hardly worked which ment after a shower there was condensation in the room So not happy and wouldnt recommend or return.

It was fine for one night, but basic things like doors not closing properly, curtains coming off the rails, mould on the roof in the bathroom. Definitely a 3-star quality place, but beds were comfy and we slept well. Get what you pay for.

dissapointing and misrepresented in website. It is so run down and disgusting . The bed was clean though, but it is a depressing hole

Great central location, check in and out was super easy. Price wise I was happy with considering that the apartment did have a lot of wear and tear damage. Despite that the apartment was clean. The mattresses in the bunk room are in need of replacement. No condiments or towel replacements done during our 3 night stay. 4 small towels, 2 face washers and 1 bath mat are not sufficient for 2 adults and 2 teenagers for a 3 night 4 day stay. The power to the bathroom went out on the first night and I called the after hours number and was told that they can not help and they would leave a message for the morning person. We had to shower in the dark and this was very dangerous. The next morning at 9am when the office opened and advised the situation to the man there who was in no hurry at all to come and help. We again had to shower in the dark and when we were leaving at about 10am he was only then coming to have a look. Our living area of the apartment was facing the car park with no privacy curtains, we had to keep the curtains closed at all times. The same issue with the two bedrooms, that they were facing the communal very used walk way. I suggest maybe some mirror tints or privacy curtains be installed in all these areas. Our apartment was connected to the main office and you could hear everything! Despite all the small issues that can be rectified we would here stay again.
