Disco living… noisy!
It’s a very noisy hotel, music coming from every direction till late. Even on the 4th floor the bed ‘shook’ from the loud music on the ground floor. Also there’s no outside area as stated on the website; the pool is owned by a third party and not open to hotel guests.
Loved the apartments. All appliances and furniture is modern and clean.
However, it is extremely noisy. Guests are not respectful of resting hours. People scream and shout in the corridors it’s unbelievable. Cleaning staff speaks loud too.
But overall a really good place to stay, with reasonable prices.
