Pros: Nice decoration, very comfortable bed, kitchen (didn't use), well heated. Amazing central location! Cons: Shower curtain badly positioned (1/3 way into bath) and shower head located on wall in the middle of the bath, made for a pretty uncomfortable shower. Washing machine could be spruced up a little (visual). Mall area around building entrance not very attractive and didn't feel great when we arrived late at night but it was fine ultimately, location more than made up for it. Would prefer tax to be included in rate rather than having to go to office to pay.

Really enjoyed staying here due to the location. Everything was within walking distance and the local area felt safe at all times. The property needs some work - the oven didn't work, the shower is hard to use and the beds were very uncomfortable. Needing a phone to enter the property was okay, but it was very temperamental.

Getting into the hotel room is a total hassle since the door lock is so finicky. The kitchen did not have a frying pan so I couldn't make breakfast like bacon. It also didn't have a cutting board to cut veggies. The room was reasonably clean, if a bit empty. Hallway was dark and spooky. Bed was nice to sleep on. I appreciate that there was some tea bags in the kitchen. Bathroom was totally fine. Air conditioning worked quite well, it was nice and quiet. Overall the room itself is fine but getting in is a pain and the kitchen was missing a few things.

Appartamento ubicato in un bel contesto, posizione perfetta. Per il resto molto male. Le comunicazioni con la reception sono state pessime. Abbiamo avuto problemi che non sono stati in grado di risolvere e ci hanno fatto perdere tanto tempo e pazienza. L'appartamento interno è datato ma pazienza. La lavatrice non solo non funzionava ma perdeva costantemente acqua rendendo il bagno sempre sporco e scivoloso. Abbiamo fatto presente la situazione il primo giorno e su continua insistenza hanno mandato un tecico dolo dopo 3 giorni il quale ha solo chiuso la tubatura. Lavatrice inagibile ma almeno non perdeva piu acqua. Gli asciugamani dati in dotazione sono uno piccolo a testa e uno piccolissimo a coppia. Asciugarsi dalla doccia era impossibile e ci hanno rimandato per 3 giorni il cambio asciugamani (sempre ovviamente bagnati). Ogni giorno ci dicevano : oggi viene il tecnico, oggi viene la colf a cambiare gli asciugamani... dopo 3 giorni di bugie ci siamo arrabbiati forte e ha funzionato. Siamo stati letteralmente presi in giro e la nostra esperienza è stata pessima.

Amazing stay, central, spacious and safe

Such a great location, the staff were very friendly and helpful, I would recommend this place to my friends and family because the flat was spacious, clean, comfortable, the separate bathroom and toilet was handy in our two bedroomed apartment. The area was safe and central, we were very pleased with everything.
