“Don't Even Consider This Place”
There is nothing to like about this seedy old dirty apartment.
Well, let me start by saying that if you are considering booking this apartment because the pictures look nice, press exit right now. Don't book to stay here! The pictures you see have been taken years ago, and the apartment has since become very old and shabby. It looks nothing like the pictures, and Booking Dot Com should have them taken down. It's all completely misleading. We booked 4 nights here, 3 apartments as the site would not let me book 2 people to one of the rooms only 1. We expected 2 single beds in one room, but that was not what we got. So after a long taxi ride here from the train station - as the location is far away from anything, we arrived to a dark and dingy parking area under the building. Found our way to the correct tower eventually and stepped into the tiny dirty shabby unmanned "reception" area. After waiting a long time, I tried ringing the WhatsApp number for service that was on the desk. There was no answer, but after a bit more waiting, a guy came down and checked us in. We were shown the rooms, and we wanted to turn around and leave right then. The rooms were so old and dirty. Unfortunately it was too late to find another hotel that night so we stayed. Our granddaughter was too scared to stay in her room alone, so she stayed in her dad's room. The staff eventually agreed to put 2 single beds in his room. The sheets were stained and thin, the walls were dirty, the jug was rusty, the bathroom was filthy with ingrained stains and grime. The towels were thin, almost transparent. The "private pool" was just an outright lie - it's just an entrance to the main pool from the room. In the morning we left our rooms and never returned. There was nobody at reception to inform anyway. To see some reviews of this apartment block look for "V Apartments" and you will see many unfavorable reviews for the multiple accommodation providers for this sad block of Apartments. Not recommended!!!
