Pros:

Loved the space that the apartment had and was in a great location.

Cons:

The maintenance need is a lot. Whilst the bathrooms were beautiful the tiles in the shower were missing so it was painful to stand on. The kitchen wasn't equipped at all as there was only 2 teaspoons, 1 fork, and 3 plates. The dinning room chairs could not be sat on as they were so wobbly and about to break. BUT the gentleman is reception was absolutely great

Pros:

The location was great for our trip as it was within 10 minutes of all our meetings and events. The beds were ok. In the bathrooms there was no soap provided, no bathmats, no side table lights, no milk provided. There were tea and coffee sachets provided but no milk, no water. Also, no waters provided. Breakfast was included but there was no coffee, there was no condiments provided and no servettes. The breakfast was not great. The facility is great but in need of some maintenance and upkeep.

I feel like they could do more, make it beautiful inside and outside. make it look lively.
Pros:

Breakfast was great but it would have been nice if they had more options, I feel like we were limited in terms of breakfast. For location, I give them 5 star, the hotel is in a secure beautiful environment, close to shopping mall.

Cons:

Our room didn't meet our expectations, it was just ok. It was not what we saw on Booking.com. It didn't have much details, our dining area was not giving. Their bathroom was spacious and comfortable. We did not have all the facilities, no iron, microwave, mini bar fridge and their aircon was not working.
