"Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was very disappointing. Several advertised facilities, including the rooftop lounge/terrace, gym, and laundry, were unavailable due to refurbishment works, yet we were not informed before arrival. The room windows were not double glazed, so noise from the busy road was constant, and there was also a strong unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drains.
The WiFi was switched off during the evening while updates were carried out, which caused problems as we needed to work from our room. The restaurant experience was also poor, with one of the worst meals we have had despite the restaurant being almost empty.
Although the room was advertised as an aparthotel studio with a kitchenette, no utensils, plates, or cutlery were provided apart from a kettle. We were also surprised that no alcohol was served at the hotel, something that should be clearly stated in the advertisement for international travellers.
Finally, communication was difficult at times as very few staff outside reception spoke English. Overall, we felt the hotel was not geared towards international or Western guests, and we would not have booked had the listing been more transparent. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this hotel to international travellers."
