We stayed at George's appartment for 4 nights and as a family of 5 with 3 teens aged 17 to 12, this appartment was not convenient for us, it was too small. I would say that it would suit for 3 adults max as there is a big king size bed and a 1 person bed (those beds were very good) + a convertible sofa. The bathroom was ok but not much to hang the towels so it was difficult to dry 5 towels every day ....we did not use the kitchen as it was not convenient for us 5 to eat in the appartment. The location is really good just accross Hyde Park and very close to the CBD but College street is a very busy street and windows are very thin (no double or triple glass windows) so the appartment is noisy. There is also a smell in the appartment, could no figure out what it was but was unpleasant.
The building seems to hold serviced appartments and hotel rooms as we could understand but is not well kept, carpet in corridors is very dirty, full of stains, laundry room very dirty and there is an important bad smell overall on the floors. On the floor just below the pool the ceiling looked as it was just going to collapse as there was an important water leak ....just in front of the elevator ....the carpet was floded with water ...and it didn't look like it had just happened ....the Hyde Park Plaza is called luxury appartments, the lobby looks very luxurious but appart from that from my point of view it doesn't deserve the title.
I would not recommend this appartment for a family or for a long stay.
