Negative Reviews
negative:
Lack of a broad selection of TV channels
Guests felt not accommodated when it came to the hotel's channel list. English-speaking guests felt there were few channels in their native languages and this led to displeasure as far as in-room entertainment was concerned.
negative:
Rooms aren't well soundproofed
The walls of the apartment are quite thin. Moderate conversations from other rooms could be heard. Noise from outside could easily get into the rooms. Most felt that the hotel's
sound proofing should be improved.
negative:
The breakfast area is rather small
Guests have expressed their concerns regarding the hotel's breakfast arrangements. The area appears to be quite small and gets crowded especially when the hotel is busy. Seating can be problematic with waits lasting for a considerable amount of time.
