My stay was great, peaceful and much adored
Pros:

The service from people at reception was swift and top tier! I appreciated that the room was clean, and having a swim in the facility's pool during the heat was great as well.

I expected more
Pros:

The friendly staff

Cons:

Well, the towels were of really bad quality and it leaves fabric particles on your skin.

There was no air conditioning and the fan provided was not working and it was not sealed in front which was dangerous.

The cutlery and crockery was really distasteful.

I could have gotten an entire apartment at WEX for the same amount so I am really disappointed in the quality provided.

Pros:

Not what was advertised....it is a disgrave that they are allowed to adveryise on bookings.com....the ventilation in acvomodation is very poor and the marijuana usage and smell is overwhelming and makes it impossible to stay there, literally made us madly sick....deapite several notices that the use of marijuana would not be tokerated - what a jome.....were told that we would be refunded after we were unable to stay there for our own healthand safety, yet refund was denied. Skelm - disgusting. Would highly recommend that this place be closed down, removed feom listing with bookings.com and closed down completely.
