On checking in they informed us that air conditioning was not working. Normally this would be fine but it was extreme hot weather and uncomfortably hot in the room

Loved the apartments. All appliances and furniture is modern and clean. However, it is extremely noisy. Guests are not respectful of resting hours. People scream and shout in the corridors it’s unbelievable. Cleaning staff speaks loud too. But overall a really good place to stay, with reasonable prices.

Disco living… noisy!

It’s a very noisy hotel, music coming from every direction till late. Even on the 4th floor the bed ‘shook’ from the loud music on the ground floor. Also there’s no outside area as stated on the website; the pool is owned by a third party and not open to hotel guests.

Pool

I specifically booked for the pool but as it turned out it is rooftop but belongs to a Yoga centre. You can use it but they don’t have sun loungers and anywhere really to enjoy it. Such a shame. I upgraded my room to a balcony which also only got limited sun.

The apartment was great and everything we need. The reception personal was not welcoming at all. It also took very long for us to check in. There was also a problem with the drainage of the shower. So in other words its a management issue as the apartment itself was great but unfortunately they won’t see us again.
