Déception
Pros:

Le lit est confortable. La vue est bien sur fantastique et nous apprécions beaucoup le quartier de Williamsburg

Cons:

La chambre était dans un très mauvais état, l'hôtel globalement est très vieillissant, le personnel de réception peu aimable. C'est très bruyant lors des week ends avec des fêtes partout autour. Pour le prix qui est demandé on a vraiment l'impression d'avoir été mal reçus. Pour les prochaines fois nous retourneront plutôt au Whyte Hotel à côté, beaucoup plus charmant

Pros:

De locatie is top ! Williamsburg is super gelegen en hotel nabij allerlei hippe winkels, bathhouse en restaurantjes
Het huispersoneel is super vriendelijk.

Cons:

Geen plek om even te chillen of te zitten in hotel, behalve een paar zetels in een kille gang zonder zonlicht.
Het zwembad is overvol en als klant heb je recht op max. 3uur per dag anders moet je 375,- per pers. bijbetalen.
Bijna geen zon in de namiddag daar.
Maar vooral op 50 m is er een nachtclub, die in het weekend ook overdag functioneert met oorverdovende vreselijke beats/lawaai en met hun vensters open. Je bibbert ervan tot in je bed en geen ziel die er iets aan doet.

I will not be back
Pros:

The Vibe, the pool and upstairs bar

Cons:

The building's disrepair, halls were smelly, elevator kept getting stuck and had to go up and down 2X to get to the pool. The Air conditioning in room would only cool to 74, they tried to fix 3X but did not have a room for me to switch to...they did buy my breakfast. I will not be back.

Great.. till it wasn’t.
Pros:

I actually really liked the William Vale, loved the pool and the room was clean, the location was great overall a great experience until it wasn’t. There was a leak from the Air Conditioner which left a puddle on the floor which we found out when my husband slipped and fell in the middle of the night when he got up to use bathroom, when we told the front desk in the morning, his response was will send an engineer to the room. That’s great but we were checking out. But for or troubles he didn’t charge us our $33.00 room service.

Pros:

Location and view

Cons:

We truly appreciate the efforts of the staff; however, the room cleanliness was not entirely satisfactory. It might be helpful for the housekeeping team to receive further training to maintain a consistently high standard.

Pros:

The location, room and views were amazing. I will defintiely be revisiting The William Vale.

Cons:

There was not enough communication about the facilities. I did not know you had to book lounges and pay for the day beds, so a bit more understanding of that early on would have been good.

Cons:

The front counter staff where the worst I’ve experienced and I travel
Every week. I was unsure if they were medicated or what was happening but they were just not aware
Of anything and terribly slow. Like badly.
