You are greeted warmly by reception, if you’re lucky enough you will be welcomed by Princess, whose smile will light up your world. I’m hoping management reward your efforts and enthusiasm. Very affordable apartment right in the heart of the city. Views were amazing. The rooms are spacious and some had 2 bathrooms. Wasn’t cleaned as you would expect, but the staff are under the pump given it’s almost new year and the whole place was booked out. Would definitely stay here again.

Disgusting. Stinks like piss like the carpets have never been cleaned. King bed is two singles pushed together but of different heights - very uncomfortable. Our bed head completely fell off before we had even got into bed. Very long elevator wait times as one is broken and looking at other reviews has been down for almost a year. Absolutely filthy. Cobwebs and spiders everywhere on the balcony. Positives of the place is the location and the nice cold aircon. There is nothing else good about this place at all. Has potential to be a stella place to stay but it has been neglected for so long it would now take alot to bring it back to its prime.
