The pool has a genuine waterslide that keeps kids occupied for hours
Dead central location—walk to Cavill Avenue and the beach in 5 minutes
River view rooms offer surprisingly decent sunsets for the price
Privire rapidă: A faded 80s icon that trades on its waterslide and location while desperately needing a renovation.
Evaluat de @Gipsy7: I was pleasantly surprised by how huge this apartment was! The decor is a bit retro, but having a full kitchen and that massive spa bath made my stay so relaxing. The river views from the living room are totally worth it for a quiet getaway.

The hype
Great location and pool for the kids, but the rooms are tired and the walls are paper-thin.
Reality check
Many guests report cleanliness issues like moldy grout and stained carpets in the non-renovated rooms.
You have energetic kids who love a waterslide
You want to be in the heart of the action without paying beachfront prices
You need a self-contained apartment with a kitchen to save on food costs
Curățenie și Întreținere
5.5
Housekeeping: Weekly service only. Daily cleaning is not standard. Guests often report missed dust and crumbs.
Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Renovated bathrooms are fine; older ones often have moldy grout and stained tubs.
Maintenance: Aging property issues: peeling paint, slow drains, and worn carpets are common complaints.
Linens & towels: Functional but thin. Don't expect plush robes or high-thread-count sheets.
Odors & scents: Older rooms can have a lingering musty smell or stale cigarette smoke.

5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'Spa' in the room name often means a shower over a very high, awkward tub wall.
💡The elevators can be slow and hot during peak summer days.
💡You might find 'schoolies' remnants (glitter, bottle caps) in hard-to-reach corners if housekeeping rushed.
💡The BBQ area is actually quite decent and a good way to save money on dinner.
💡The decor in non-renovated rooms is a time capsule from the early 2000s.
