Confortable mais peu approprié pour se reposer car le lieu est extrêmement bruyant. Ok pour la fête.
Pros:

Le studio était parfait car très bien équipé, propre et confortable !

Cons:

C'est un lieu terriblement bruyant. J'ai dû acheter des bouchons d'oreille car le studio était très mal isolé. On entend tout ce qui se passe dehors, à l'étage et même dans la rue d'à côté qui est très mouvementé (à savoir si l'on vient pour le travail).
Côté réception, il n'y a pas d'accueil physique en tant que tel. Je suis arrivée à 22h et ai attendu à l'entrée environ 20mn pour qu'une personne vienne m'ouvrir. Il y a un numéro de téléphone mais personne ne répond.

Uncomfortable Bathroom & Living Room
Pros:

It was very close to The Strip, it was like staying in the centre of The Strip, so it was very lively.

Cons:

Every time I went in the bathroom, the water was dripping from the top of the ceiling, when we were using the toilet, water drippings on us, the same issue in the living room, this was very, very uncomfortable for me, and my partner, we hardly sat in the living room for this reason we couldn't even relax in the room and watch TV.

Shower rail kept falling down, wasn't fixed properly, it fell on me many times, and I temporarily fixed it when it should be fixed permanently by the management.

We were not expecting this in our holiday. When I went to Eirasol Hotel to confirm my taxi to airport, the receptionist was not willing to assist me, she told me she cannot help, she told me to go to another hotel to get it sorted which I did.

When Eirasol were supposed to assist me another receptionist from another hotel confirmed my taxi and gave me a printout.

So this was not very good customer service from Eirasol hotel when they were part of Umbral.

Serviu perfeitamente para o propósito pretendido
Pros:

O staff muito acessível e educado, o apartamento estava arrumado e limpo e esta localizado mesmo na rua ao lado da rua da oura por isso se queres aproveitar as noites com diversão a vontade é voltares para o apartamento é o ideal.

Cons:

Não é o que não gostei porque a experiência foi curta e para o propósito pretendido atendeu na perfeição mas estando tão perto da rua da oura para quem quer passar férias não acho boa ideia devido ao barulho elevado dos bares

Não recomendo para famílias
Pros:

o ponto a favor é a proximidade à rua da oura, o que para quem viaja em família não é tão agradável devido ao ambiente noturno extremamente perturbador, sobretudo com os "vizinhos" que faziam-se ouvir durante toda a noite

Cons:

ouve-se barulho durante toda a noite, a piscina estava suja e tinha apenas 3 espreguiçadeiras
