This is a good one if you want the resort vibes on a lower budget - I absolutely loved the pools. Room and common areas are clean and well-maintained, staff were very friendly, and easy parking. One caveat is that the railway track backs on to the property, so a train horn may wake you up if you're planning on a midday nap, but if you're only sleeping at night it will be fine. Recommend, would book again.

This is my 3rd time staying at Southern Cross Atrium. Great location - walking distance to shopping centre, train, bus and Esplanade/Marina. Units are always very clean and kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The 3 pools are wonderful. My only 'complaint' is that a sauna is advertised but it is never operational.

Room was clean, comfortable, spacious and quiet. The location was really great. Really liked this place and would stay again. However, we were only given one very small shampoo for two people for 6 days and while they did give us more when we asked they gave us a hard time about it stating they are un serviced rooms. They should either state NO toiletries in their rooms or give enough for the number of people and number of nights. Unserviced is misleading you to think it is only a lack of housekeeping. So a bit of a turn-off there. Also sauna is not working with no signs that there are efforts to fix it. Too bad as that was one reason we booked the place.
