Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
We booked what was described as the deluxe apartment, that slept four. The sofa bed was only suitable for one adult. Above the sofa bed was a sky light with no blind. The advert in Expedia referred to a shower and separate bathtub and the advert for amenities led us to believe there were two bathrooms. Neither was the case, there was a shower room only. There was no instruction for the heating system- when we arrived at 6.30pm the heating was on. Then the following morning there was no heating and we were unable to find out why? Two hours after we left we got a Whatapp message to say it was being looked into. At the self service check in we needed a room number which we did not have in our booking confirmation. We were able to ring the number provided and speak to someone to obtain this. Whilst it was clean and well decorated we found several screws found on the floor. The apartment is in a nice area with good transport links to the city. Disappointing experience
