Pros:

Room was spacious, clean and tidy..

Cons:

The freezer section in the fridge was not defrosted could not make any ice cubes for beveridge, had to go down and ask for tissue box as the one in the room was empty and an extra toilet roll, two extra pillows would have been better

Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien situé

Cons:

Notre studio était moisi, le robinet du lavabo de douche sale et coulait dans tous les sens, arrivé dans notre chambre plus du tout de gel douche dans la pompe. Le plafond de la douche se décolle.Le frigo moisi et congèle tout ce qu on met à l'intérieur.
En 8 nuits, il y a eu qu'une seule fois le ménage, cest à nous de jetter les poubelles.
Je trouve que le prix de l'hôtel est beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité des chambres et du service

Brilliant location but more attention with cleaning needed…
Pros:

Excellent location and very large apartment for the price. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Unfortunately the bin had not been changed and the coffee table needed a wipe. The toilet paper could be thicker!!

Pros:

I don't mind if they take the $200 deposit, the waiting four days for it to go back to the account is rude

Cons:

I don't mind paying the $200 holding deposit, but waiting for days to go back to your account is rude
