Excellent service, I was looking for a place to get a laptop base and quite a few USB keys, I checked out the reviews and this one came to the fore because it's close to work so I could go in if there was an issue, but also due to the very good reviews.
I spend Sunday sorting through the net what type of docking station and Went to personal Digital website, I ordered along with a load of thumb drives, USB's and surprisingly they have arrived today. Excellent service, fast delivery and all very well packaged.

This review is for Eagle Boys Pizza, Newtown NSW

verified email - 01 May 2012

The Eagle boys are always my back up pizza place, I pickup on the way home most Fridays from another place, plus this other place will not deliver to our street as its regarded as high risk, makes me so glad we paid close to a million for our PH. But back to Eagle Boys Newtown they will deliver, and I really like there pepperoni and meat pizzas, my partner dosnt like the vegetarian option over the competition, so that's why I don't get them more. But if I'm at home or we feel like some pizza, rather than going out ( in the high risk area) we will order from Eagle Boys, they have no problem coming to our secure luxury apartment Complexe and are there generally within 40 mins, phone service is good and you can pay by Credit Card.
Don't forget if your delivery person is there quickly and is pleasant Tip them. $3.00 to $5.00 they really work under pressure and for minimum wage, and you'll make them happy, that can't be bad?

This review is for Holiday Inn Flinders Lane, Melbourne VIC

One of the Best Hotels in Melbourne. Certainly not the finest or most luxurious but for the price range and four star plus Hotel. This Hotel under the fine leadership of a great General manager and the front office Management team that includes a Five Star Australian award winning service employee in Amanda.
I love every visit to this Hotel it is warm and welcoming its friendly and yet has an air of style and effecient grace. When you stay at this Hotel you get a real sense that all the staff are happy to be there, to assist and help you and really enjoy their jobs.
The rooms are lovely, Possibly not every room is marvelous but if you really dont like a room go down and discuss it it with one of the Polite guys on the front desk and ask to change. Simple really its a service and if your not happy give them the opportunity to fix it and dont just tollerate and jump on a site like this and complain. The rooms have block out curtains so a good nights sleep is almost gauranteed, though if you are sensitive to mild noise and vibration then ensure you ask for a room away from the Tram side of the hotel. The airco is great and keeps the room ambient, and the room service is Fabulous. Delivering a vast range of treats and defeats youll love them all. Breakfat can also be room service or in the restaurant downstairs has a very good buffet.
Within easy walking distance to the hotel are many attractions, like the CBD central shopping the casino and flinders street station. The guys at the desk can help and assist with all your bookings, maps and advice on things to do.
All in All I love the staff here and there infectious behaviour makes me love their Hotel. I recommend this Hotel Highly.

This review is for Holiday Inn, Brisbane QLD

verified email - 29 Apr 2012

This is by far my Favorite Hotel in Brisbane, its not the Ritz, but I have always stayed at this hotel when in Brisbane, even long before it was a a Holiday Inn and was built as a Travelodge for the 1988 World Expo above the transit centre.
The rooms are lovely, ok not every room is Brilliant but its home, the beds are cosy, an ambient tempreture is kept by the air conditioning. Let me not forget to mention the wonderful Holiday Inn pillow menu to select your Favourite type pillow, and the rooms are very clean and well kept by an effecient house keeping, with the rooms made up brilliantly everyday.
The curtains in the room are block out, so a sleep in is possible. Dont forget to put your do not disturb sign out. And if your hungry, the room service is very good, with a healthy to naughty selection of food delivered quickly and hot. The Breakfast is a Buffet and a large selection all very tasty, delicious and tempting. Served on Level 1.
 
A good honest Hotel if you have an issue let the wonderful staff on the front desk know, I'm sure they will do what they can to make it better, or your night is free, it's the Holiday Inn promise.

This review is for Cafe 414, Surry Hills NSW

verified email - 29 Apr 2012

This is a all Chinese food cafe that has a very large range and selection of Asian meals all freshly cooked on site. I have worked in a nearby building for 8 years and they seem to be one of the longest running businesses in the area along with the Stawberry Hills Hotel. Our office uses cafe 414 for our occasional Friday functions if it's a change from pizza and we recently had Chinese new year and had a substantially large order from here which was all delicious and there Chinese food is authentic in taste and flavour.
They deliver to a for free to offices and home from around a 5 KLM area of Surry Hills and it is free delivery if the order is over $30.00 or there's a $3.00 charge if under. They are open seven days a week, Mon to Sat 9.00 am to 8.00 pm Sun 10.00 am to 3.00 pm
My personal favourites are the Braised Pork belly in soy sauce, and Honey Prawns. They also have a very good range of vegetarian options?

This review is for A4e Australia, Mascot NSW

I have been into the office a few times on a Proffesional basis, and it is poorly run and really dosnt do the very best it could for their clients. They function under a contract from the Department of Employmet Education and Workplace Relations. And have certain contractual obligations based on if they are meeting and performing these well, they will be given a high star rating and when the contracts come up may be issued with more business.
In the recent new issue of business on high rating and good performing companies, this one gained no new business and was given no new business share due to low star ratings.Says it all really. I would never recommend this company or that any one use them if they are seriously seeking employment.

This review is for Discount Supermarket, Surry Hills NSW

verified email - 29 Apr 2012

This is a newish and very clean and modern Convenience store, mini supermarket and more excitingly theres an excellent fresh food section down one side of the store, I'm not talking fresh fruit and veg, but freshly made sandwiches, and salads, to take away. There are more deli style fillings and some very delicious meal options.
There is also all the other options that you'll find in a convenience store so very handy to pick up a snack, crisps or chocolate bar, even that extra milk when needed.
Very friendly service.

They have a vast range of Professionals on their books or will know how to source them and deal with all negotiations, confidentially and efficiently.

This review is for Mi Piace Pizza E Bar, Moore Park NSW

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

We had dinner after seeing a second movie at the Entertainment Quarter this cafe has replaced Cine that used to be on the same site, new owners different style, but same interior. It appears more posh when you go in and the decor is Italian sheik but the outdoor tables are in keeping with a few restaurants along this strip, dull, useless and uncomfortable. I had my leg pressed up against a bench leg and it wasn't painful just uncomfortable and detracted from the whole pleasant diner experience that I like to go for, or if you follow my reviews you'll hear me refer to it as the Vibe.
The greeting was fast efficient and we sat outdoors, a tad cool but that's Ok they have gas burners, which ads to the ambience. The service was good and the Pizza I had and the roasted vegetable paste of my erstwhile friend delicious in his words. The wine was exquisite and apart from the table it was generally very nice, and having eaten here three times when it used to be called Cine, it was also a vast improvement.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in The Entertainment Quarter, none of them can afford to rest on their laurels or become complacent, the Customer is King.

Approximate cost: $30.00

This review is for Rosso Espresso, Surry Hills NSW

Formally the Old Fish shop cafe for close to 15 years, the corner store remained empty for a year before these lads took it over and converted the very small space into a very nice and trendy cafe, with indoor and outdoor tables adjoining a small patch of green space on the corner of Devonshire and Elizabeth Streets.
They make a brilliant coffee and the best part is that I can SMS them and pick it up on the way through each morning, as Im driving up Devonshire street to my Office. I have walked to the cafe at lunch time but its always packed which says something because they are within metres of 10 other eateries, cafes and a Hotel that does counter luncehes, so its popular and the food look very nice and of the two sandwiches I have had in the last four months they were very nice and tasty, I usually prefer to sit out for lunch each day, but occasionally for lunch on the run this place for me has been ideal. The Guys are extremely friendly and nice and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Approximate cost: $3.80 to 11.00
