Incongruence between great location and Mickey Mouse hot water arrangement

3.0

Location was excellent and very central. Self check in was easy. Fit out was modern.

− Hot water issue. You had to manually switch it on half an hour before use and turn it off again, or it would leak all over the floor. No one told us this prior. You can see water damage as a result.

Scam

1.0

− Absolutely horrible service. I was told the room was out of order and I couldn’t stay, after I had already reserved and paid. Then they started pushing me into staying at another apartment they owned, far from where we intended to stay. I told them to cancel the reservation, as we would find another accommodation, but they would not cancel it. My messages sent from then on were all ignored, and after a few days I had to contact Booking.com to manually cancel the reservation. Closest thing to a scam I’ve experienced through Booking.com. I hope everyone reads the reviews before reserving this place.

Not sure that I’d go back

6.0

Great location Very quiet

− It’s downstairs-there’s no light switch as you descend into the darkness Hot water system leaks out of the cupboard-very unsafe Hot water taps are not labeled correctly-also very unsafe as water comes out boiling There are no instructions on how to turn the hot water system on-nor where The people owning or running it where very rude and condescending when the apartment got flooded during a crazy downpour and simply told me that the apartment doesn’t flood (while I stood in 2inches of water) NO help was offered nor was there any enquiring wether I and/or was safe I had to really push for someone to come and clean up
