Student Living - Shafston

It's a great place to live, walking distance to the city and the Gabba which has great transport, I have been enjoying their new program that has events with food. I enjoy them very much. Can't wait for the next one

UniLodge @ Shafston is a really nice place in one of the most beautiful locations in Brisbane. Their fully-furnished studios are completely suitable for up to two people. You have easy access to CBD and different nice parks within walking distance of the river and Mowbray Park ferry station which provide you with an amazing journey across the river.About their services, I have to say that they have the best services and have respectful behaviour with their tenants. All the services are applied based on their timetable and with discipline. It should also be noted that they hold different nice programs during the year. I also forgot to say that you have access to a nice cafe shop in the ground level.So, we had really good experience in this complex. I think five stars score is rational for them.Thank you so much for your invaluable support.

The new receptionist is very rude. You're met with an eye roll anytime you have to make a basic request. Only works on timings that are convenient for her...no standard timing as per the building rules.

I've been living here for 6 months. and i only stayed this long because they wouldn't give me my money back.The staff is terribly unfriendly. i think i have never seen a smile on their faces.The rooms were filthy at arrival and way too overpriced for their condition.the gym is NOT new or big how the describe it on the website.It has been an overall disappointment.I will not recommend this place to anyone!

You have to give credit where credit is due. I cannot speak highly enough of Ben the building manager and Vivian the receptionist and the establishment they are running. They truly do go above and beyond.As it was my first time moving interstate/living independently I was extremely nervous to do adult things like sign a lease, but the whole process was an ease. It was very straight forward, easy to understand and didn’t have any hidden costs or terms.The building is conveniently located and you don’t have to walk more than a few minutes to a bus stop, ferry terminal or supermarket. Both modes of transportation run regularly.The rent was 100% worth it and as everything was included so I didn’t have to worry about multiple bills.- Fully furnished studio apartment.- Unlimited Wi-Fi (You are allocated a certain amount but I never ran out and I used it a lot)- Unlimited power and water.- The building is secure and can only be accessed by if you have a keycard once they leave.- Again, conveniently located in a safe suburb was a bonus.Would 100% recommend.

I have been at UniLodge Shafston for almost six months now and will be renewing my lease for another six months. This place is perfect for singles as it’s close to the action (movies, galleries, shopping, parks, restaurants, etc) and a 10-minute walk to Mowbray Park CityCat terminal, which is a great way to get around the city and easy to connect with trains. You can easily get by without a car. The furnished units are tiny, so ideal for one person and the rent includes wifi, electricity and use of the gym. There’s an IGA supermarket a short walk from here and a cool café just around the corner. I’d like to see a bit more chance to socialise with other residents but with the current Covid situation it’s best to just stay safe. It’s handy to have someone at the reception desk Monday to Friday for deliveries and to answer any questions and requests. The staff have always been efficient, kind and very helpful.

Excellent management, great location (close to CBD/shops/nightlife/river) and friendly atmosphere.

Not that great any more unfortunately,,with the new staff that took over management in the office (which seems to happen a bit ) ? I was there approximately 2.5year and had some good times ,met some amazing people,,the rooms and facilities are still good it’s more a staff issue

Don't move to this place. Lived here for 6 months last year in the apartment 514. Don't believe in any replies they send here.All the reasons:Rude receptionist (the British woman) - VARIOUS EXAMPLES TONE OF VOICE/ UNFRIENDLY FACIAL EXPRESSION/ I ASKED MORE CLEAR PICTURES OF THE APARTMENT AND SHE REPLIES THOSE ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL PICTURES IN A RUDE TONE.Dishonest behaviour 1 - they tried to charge me 50 dollars for replacing a kitchen light bulb but having issued an entry for a window repair! - We told reception we would change it ourselves - THE SNEAKY BEHAVIOUR HERE IS TO USE A WINDOW REPAIR ENTRY TO GET INTO THE APARTMENT TO DO ANOTHER SERVICE --Dishonest behaviour 2 - They also tried to charge me when I was leaving for taking the rice cooker (another lie!) I took pictures of the apartment and they could not do that.- NO ANSWERConstant entries, one month I remember they issued 6 entries for my apartment.Faulty elevator - took months to repair level 5 button. - STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAY RENTFaulty access card - My access card for months did not give me access to the laundry on weekends. - STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAY RENTThey gave the Sales Agent access to my apartment before the arranged time - explaining it a bit better, the spare key stays in the reception, THEY GAVE THE SPARE KEY BEFORE THE ARRANGED TIMEThey booked an electrician for a time slot that I specifically told them not to come and when I tried to reschedule, they sent the guy to my door!
