I cannot recommend this place enough. Studio apartment was fantastically equipped. From olive oil sachets for cooking, to toiletries, tiny wardrobes and the tv thats also a mirror. Check in details came through early which was a big bonus. The building is in a really good location, just set back from the riverside. Supermarkets and cafes and restaurants on the street. The view from the rooftop bar and pool made it such a relaxing place to watch the sunset. The view is amazing. Staff were really friendly. A thoroughly good stay, have recommended to friends.
We didn't realize from the Expedia listing that this was more airbnb than hotel. At the end of a very long travel day we were stressed at having to create a whatsapp account and having to get a code and punch it in on a street side. I like a reception desk with a person to speak to.
Having said all that about the check in process, we had a really excellent stay. The place is spotless and well located. Absolutely everything provided and a small grocery shop close by.
No cleaning is provided during the stay. We stayed 6 nights and when we asked for clean towels and a tidy up on the afternoon of day 4 we were told no. After pleading, they did come in and empty our garbages that afternoon.
I would give a 4 out of 5, and the only point off is for the things we weren't told up front.
The location was exceptional and the view to the WoW new attraction was superb . We were three and had room 405. The couch was not a pull out couch so it was slightly hard for my taste. There was no warm water in the master bathroom shower, but I loved the fact that there were two bathrooms. And the main bathroom was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It had an elevator and also had a massage and spa which being a weekend was closed. The pool was more of a tank with resistance but there were always one or two people that did not mind. We loved our stay and will come back!
The room was spacious, clean, and super comfortable. The bedding was luxurious. Sandra was very helpful and accommodating. I will definitely stay again.
Fue una buena elección, especio moderno y limpio, cerca a restaurantes y sitios de interés. Para mejorar había cierto olor a cañería lo que era muy extraño por qué estaba muy limpia la habitación.
Razoável, desconfortável, péssimo atendimento, éramos uma família de 4 pessoas e não tinha suficientes travesseiros, sofá cama super duro e barulhento.
