Pandion Boardinghouse

Location is good being 4 minute walk to suburban rail station or tram stop with a 5 minute ride to CBD. Small super market and cafe' 2 minute walk.

The room allocated was a corner room which was quite bright and airy. Unfortunately several curtains were missing and outside blinds did not close completely so privacy was compromised especially at night. One of the curtains fell to the floor when attempting to open it to the rail end. The mattress did not have a cover. The bottom bed sheet was too narrow allowing only an inch or two (50 mm) to be tucked under. Overnight I found my self lying on the mattress. Pillow comfort is a personal thing. Mine was an empty bag of annoyance. Basin tap water flow was a very slow frustrating experience. The bathroom exhaust fan, located above the ceiling, could not be turned off. Ran all day and night. Arrived Thursday. We had early start Friday for tours so did not get to see staff. Weekend no staff available. On check out Monday I advised and showed the reception staff member of our disappointments as above. Why didn't you call? was the response. We were not told of the emergency phone available. But more to the point the issues we experienced were not emergencies. The shortfalls in standard were what was provided by the house keeping staff either with or without the knowledge of management. Either way, in my opinion, management are not fulfilling there responsibilities in either supervising house keeping or accepting a very low standard of accomodation facilities.

Cleanness and size of room
