Charlestown Vacations from $1,239

Very central location…staff were nice. But a few warning signs on the floors advising guests to respect others and keep quiet would have been good. Was not impressed with noisy guests on my floor with little self awareness.

Staff was excellent

The location

The Oaks was once a great place to stay, unfortunately that is not the case today, the units are tired and dated with very little atmosphere, ours was on the 5th floor and on the dark side of the building, the lights had to be on all day, the air cond could not be set to warm and the temp control was all over the place, the facilities are good and the location is okay but noisy at times, there seems to be a lot of permanent residents and the bottom floors have cages around them where their personal stuff is stored. Transport is close and very good to the city etc, the eateries on this side of Darling harbour are over priced and not worth the effort, a cheap NZ wine was $18 a glass? The whole bottle is only $15 in NZ, service was crappy and they had the cheek to ask for a tip. Overall okay but we won't use the Oaks again, asked for a wake up call for an early flight and got nothing, lucky for our tablet alarm. 😕
