"Breakfast was cold by 9 am. I booked in on Thursday and Room cleaning was not carried out until Sunday(now it stated that room cleaning would be done every second day). This lady who called on Sunday was excellent and did a very good job. The apartment did not have a kettle, toaster, cups, and a few plates were provided. If one did want to be self sufficient and use the apartment for eating this could prove very difficult with the cutlery, plates and pots. I would not recommend this Hotel...
