"Excellent location and very friendly staff, easy check in/out process. Very clean rooms"

Argo Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at Argo Apartments. The building is very new, and the rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you need for a comfortable visit. The location is excellent — right on Church Street and only a short walk to the Mall, Belmore Basin, and both North and City Beach. One of the standout features of Argo is how incredibly quiet the apartments are. I enjoyed a truly peaceful and restful stay, which made the experience even better. The staff were awesome — friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. I highly recommend Argo Apartments and would gladly stay here again."
