Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Gilmer Apartment Hotel enjoys a great central location, making shops, bars, restaurants and the waterfront easily accessible. Many guests appreciate the spacious, well-equipped rooms, including useful amenities like a washing machine and cooking facilities, while some have noted noise from nearby facilities. The hotel's proximity to Lambton Quay via a nearby lift in the Wilson parking house, and to the funicular up to the Botanic Gardens, adds to the convenience and overall value.

A Mixed Experience

poor soundproofingnoisy garages
The room lacked soundproofing. This was a problem because of the nearby parking garages. It made sleeping difficult. I heard noise all night! The windows were hard to open too.

the location was central, with access to many attractions. on-site bookable car parking proved useful.
the room was uncomfortably hot, i found it difficult to regulate the temperature. the small window offered inadequate ventilation, i could not get a decent night's sleep. noise from outside traffic and early morning trucks disrupted any chance of rest.
