This is probably my favourite Motel in the City. Great customer service, super friendly and helpful…read morestaff. Our room was clean and tidy and the beds were really comfy, not the mention the view from the main bedroom was amazing. They even gave us later checkout which was awesome, there's nothing better than a sleep in!! Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the city, whether it's for business or leisure.

The Milton is a combination Serviced Apartment Hotel and Apartment building. It seems to be a good…read moreoption for short stays, based on what I've heard. As a resident, the Milton has some very strong advantages, as well as some real and frustrating downsides. The location, built into the train station, offers easy and fast access to the city two short stops away, and several shopping centres only a few stops in the opposite direction. The station also is a bit noisy, but nothing too loud on most nights from the upper floors. The apartments are pricy, but within what seems to be expected in the suburb. The building has several common areas, a pool, two barbecues, and a rooftop lounge (though access to it has been limited, now requiring a $1,000 deposit--greatly reducing it's utility). Units themselves are relatively spacious (Quite so, if renting as a hotel room), have electric cooktops, convection ovens, and microwaves. What stands out about most is that the views from the apartments are amazing, especially looking over the Brisbane river and hills during sunset. The building management does not seem to be as resident/customer oriented as I would hope. The building includes several amenities, but they have gone unmaintained for an extended period of time. The Spa has been broken for going on three months. The mini-gym has a weight machine with leg pads needing replacement and that are falling off, and misaligned bench. Residents were promised a locking bike storage area, then were locked out of it, so it now sits unused; recently a letter warned against carrying bikes up to our appartments was also circulated. This would be an amazing place to live or stay if the management was focused on maintaining the building and providing access to it's amenities. Over the past several months, many of the outstanding features have been left to disrepair or taken back from residents, making tenancy less enjoyable.

Caution! Unsafe parking space! The story is I parked my motorbike in the space for two nights,…read moreunfortunately my helmet has been stolen. I went to the reception, but they told me that it is hard to get my helmet back, even if they checked the CCTV camera records. To be honest, I am very upset. However, people should be aware of these unsafe parking space.

There are 5 types of unit: Studio unit 1 bedroom unit 1 bedroom (double) unit 2 bedroom unit 3 bedroom unit Each bedroom has its own ensure which is very nice so you don't need to share bathroom with stranger. Also if you like quiet place to study you can choose unit with less rooms. You can also request to the management who you want to be put in the unit if you have no friends to live together. For example, request to get housemate who is also studying postgraduate or who comes from the same country. The management office is located in the building one. What's good with that, if you have any enquiries or something needs to be fixed in your unit you can just walk in to the office and tell them about that. One downside about renting in this apartment is that the bills (gas and electricity) comes every 3 months from the management. So we don't get it straight from the gas/electricity company. The management charge 10% for the admin which I think too much. Also we could not see the real bills so we don't know whether the bills which they sent us are real numbers from the bills from the company. Which is bad thing because the management may be able to put more numbers total bills than its supposed to be since we don't know it. So if you like transparency you may not like how they do bills here. Another good thing is the location. It is located right opposite taringa station, that makes it so convenient since train can bring you everywhere you want. Also located between toowong village and indoropillilly shopping centre. Easy to do groceries and other general shopping. It takes 15 minutes by train to the city. Pretty good! Good connection to universities, Uq, Griffith and QUt. I've found that Altitude is the cheapest with the quality among all other student accommodation like unilodge and urbanest.

You could definitely have a BBQ and easily fit 20+ outside alone. The living room was big and the bedroom was a decent size. There were also 1.5 bath, laundry room, and decent kitchen.

I had a pretty awful experience with a certain other Ray White branch, so was a bit hesitant when…read moretaking out a lease with Ray White Paddington last year. However, the experience I've had so far is drastically different to that I've had in the past. The agent I'm leasing with is Anita and she's always been incredibly quick when dealing with requests or queries. It's true that they do like everything in email, but this doesn't bother me too much as I'm always online. In the four months that I've been in my apartment, they've inspected twice. This seems slightly more frequent than normal, but I suppose from a landlord's perspective it means they're thorough. It's also good from a safety perspective as they make sure you check the smoke alarm and safety switch. Really happy with Ray White Paddington--highly recommend.

You know what? Compared to all the real estate horror stories I here- Ray White Paddington is…read morepretty good. I have been leasing an apartment through Ray White Paddington for over a year and have been satisfied with the property management and communication skills. My apartment is not new, since moving in a few things have fallen apart due to the apartment's age- not us. This is usually resolved after a few email exchanges, then they will send someone to come and fix things within a week or so. Our property manager named, Chester, seems to be on the ball with everything. If you are not a fan of email communications, that is when you will have issues as Ray White really focuses on this form of communication; even when you call them, they will ask you to send them an email. Because I am a savvy Gen Y-er, this is not big deal for me. I have herd countless stories from friends complaining about their Real Estate agencies and I can honestly I have never experienced anything similar from Ray White in Paddington.
