Guest Reviews
- Celia (9/5): UBICACIÓN PERFECTA, RELACIÓN CALIDAD PRECIO INMEJORABLE. - LA UBICACIÓN FUE LO MEJOR Y LA RELACIÓN CALIDAD PRECIO PORQUE CONSEGUÍ MÁS BARATO DE LO HABITUAL. LAS INDICACIONES PARA TODO MUY PROFESIONALES Y DETALLADAS. PODER DEJAR LAS MOCHILAS UNAS HORAS EN EL DESCANSILLO SIN COSTE. NO HABÍA JABÓN PARA EL LAVAVAJILLAS. FALTABAN TENEDORES, SOLO HABÍA DOS. FUI A DEPOSITAR EL RECICLAJE DONDE ESTABA INDICADO Y A LAS HORAS PREVISTAS Y NO HABÍA DÓNDE DEJARLO, ¿ES POSIBLE QUE SE HAYA CAMBIADO LA UBICACIÓN RECIENTEMENTE? CREO, NO OBSTANTE, QUE NO ES FUNCIÓN DE LOS HUÉSPEDES PARA DOS NOCHES QUE NOS ALOJAMOS.
- Michael (5/5): Overpriced for what was provided, cheap ikea beds and furniture, wouldn’t recommend - The location is close to the sea The beds were cheap and when you moved the entire bed squeaked, you could also hear the neighbours in the same apartments had the same issue
- Dano (7/5): Très bien pour quelques jours à Venise, bon emplacement et espace sympa et propre, merci! - Très bruyant, réveillés par les musiques de la voisine que l’on pouvait reconnaître tellement le son était fort.
Le lit est aussi très grinçant, il suffit de se retourner pour qu’il couine.
Dommage qu’il n’y est pas de mobilier sur la terasse/balcon, ça mériterait d’une petite table et chaise pour profiter de l’espace quand il fait beau.

- Eleni (9/5): Παρέα φίλων στη Βενετία - Άνετο διαμέρισμα σε άριστη τοποθεσία κοντά σε τουριστικά σημεία ενδιαφέροντος. Σε πολλή κοντινή απόσταση στάσεις vapporeto που μας εξυπηρετουσε στις μετακινήσεις μας.
Εξοπλισμένο διαμέρισμα για παρέα φίλων η οικογένεια.
Πολύ βολικοί οι σχεδόν ανεξάρτητοι μεταξύ τους χώροι, άνετοι οι καναπέδες για τον ύπνο και πολύ ζεστό το κατάλυμα. Δεν είναι ικανοποιητική η ηχομόνωση με τον πάνω όροφο και το ψυγείο είχε συνεχή ενοχλητική λειτουργία.
Θα ήταν καλό να υπήρχε μια καφετιέρα για παρασκευή καφέ με κάψουλες γιατί το σκεύος του καφέ που διέθετε δεν ήταν καθόλου βολικό.
Θα έπρεπε το πάπλωμα να είναι σε παπλωματοθήκη και όχι με παμωσέντονο.
- Martina (7/5): Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen - Venedig im Karneval ist immer einen Besuch wert. - Die Unterkunft liegt in der Nähe des Markusplatzes, nur einen kurzen Spaziergang entlang des Meeres. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend, die Küchenzeile gut ausgestattet. Die Versorgung in der Nähe ist sehr gut - es gibt genügend Lokale und auch einen toll ausgestatteten Sparmarkt. Die Wohnung ist über 4 Treppen erreichbar, hier sollte man sehr fit sein. Der Wohnraum ist etwas dunkel, der angegebene Balkon nur schwer betretbar - also zum Sitzen nicht verwendbar ( eher klein ) und nur durch eine sehr hohe Stufe erreichbar. Für die Bedienung des Herdes sollte eine Anleitung vor Ort gelassen werden. Das Kaffeekochen mit der Espressokanne war eine Herausforderung ( dürfte zu klein für die Platte sein )
- Sylwia (7/5): -

- Melanie (8/5): -
- Mónica (10/5): Apartamento muy céntrico y cómodo - La ubicación es extraordinaria, a 5 minutos de la plaza San Marcos y del vaporetto.
Estuvimos en el apartamento del primer piso que era muy espacioso y cómodo.
Muy buena comunicación con el anfitrión por mensaje. Muy muy recomendable Faltaría un poco más de luz en el salón y algún espejo más aparte del del baño.

- STEFANIA (1/5): Personalmente per niente professionale - La posizione Casa molto piccola divisa male
- alessandro (9/5): -
- Giacomo (7/5): - Posizione e ampiezza camere e bagno Troppo rumorosa, tra un appartamento e l'altro si sente tutto distintamente
- Ishtiaque (8/5): It was very Satisfactory - I stayed with my two adult son for 4 nights. We liked the location. Room size was good for three bachelorettes and bed was comfortable. The host provided us iron when we asked for it. door key was very easy to operate with key and also with password. The long flights of stairs. itwas difficult with the suitcases. The ceiling height above the round table was too low that is unusable. toiletries in the bath room need to be adequate. We could not operate the Air con. but for us the temperature was ok. The floor had slopes.
- Sašo (6/5): Well located but uncomfortable dissapointmen - Location and access. Apartment is clean, nicely renovated and functional bathroom. Bed, matress and pillows are awfull, for this price in Venice should be at least Ikea quality.
Soundproofing horrible-we know Venice propreties,we’ve been coming to Venice for art and every Biennale for 20 years,we know that walls and floors are thin but haven’t experienced anything as bad as this.
Table and chairs are also really uncomfortable, like mentioned before all furniture are way under any expectation, so 3 nights of not sleeping,spending days out in beloved Venice with stiff and hurting neck are nothing to like about. Also heating/air conditioning is not working,so apartment was too hot and not pleasant to stay in or sleep at 26 degrees celsius. Open windows resulted in being bitten by mosquitos at the end of October all night long. Terrace/balcony is useless with nothing to sit on,such a shame. So sorry but our stay was really uncomfortable and ruined our every year trip to Venice. With little bit more thought and bit more money for decent quality furniture this apartment could be real gem and worth the price.

- Melisa (8/5): - La ubicación Las escaleras de la entrada nada cómodas si viajas con niños
- Anabel (10/5): Molt bona opció - Tot ha estat perfecte! Molt bona ubicació, molt net i tot com posava a la informació. No tinc res a dir
- silecchia (6/5): Nel complesso niente male - La posizione e i comfort della camera eccellenti. I rumori provenienti dall’alto,materasso vecchio sotto il letto messo solo per catturare polvere, e letto senza coprimaterasso.
- David (8/5): -
- Araceli (7/5): Muy bien, tener en cuenta que es un tercer piso sin ascensor - La cama muy cómoda.
La ubicación muy buena.
El baño y la ducha muy bien.
Bien equipado. Era un tercer piso sin escaleras y viajaba con mi madre de 81 años.
- Francesca (6/5): Quite expensive, but good location - Great location, very accessible to walk everywhere. Easy instructions to get into the property. Kitchen was well equipped. Very squeaky bed, could have also been cleaner as I found hairs in different spots of the apartment. They asked us to take out our rubbish, which we did, but I don’t think it’s our responsibility as the apartment is not cheap and it’s quite an unusual ask. The Tv remote also didn’t work, but they said they would check it asap. However, they just turned up, which I wasn’t expecting as they didn’t let me know when they would come.

- Ana (9/5): I love it - The apartment was amazing The air conditioner doesn’t work properly sometimes
- Julie (10/5): -
- Vanesa (8/5): - La ubicación El ruido constante de la nevera. Que había lavadora pero no hay nada para poder tender la ropa. Una cama muy ruidosa en exceso para mi gusto.
- Aimee (1/5): Bad - Disappointing and not as advertised. We were really let down by our stay. Upon arrival, we found water all over the kitchenette floor, which was not a great first impression. The apartment we were given was completely different from what we booked we selected one with a balcony and city views, but instead got an apartment with windows facing a wall and a damp smell throughout. I contacted the administrative team and was told that the original apartment was under maintenance, and that this was an "upgrade" to a 2-bedroom it wasn’t. The apartment did not have two proper bedrooms, and the main bed was extremely creaky, like the slats were ready to break.During our stay, we were bitten multiple times not sure if it was mosquitoes or bed bugs, but it happened inside the apartment. The air conditioning units barely worked and were so loud they disturbed our sleep.While the listing mentions a tea/coffee maker, there was no tea, no coffee, and no washing powder or dishwasher tablets, making the kitchenette basically unusable without extra purchases. The apartment felt very dated, and the photos online are definitely old this place does not match its listing.Overall, not worth the money and we would not stay here again. A disappointing experience from start to finish.
- Simrdip (9/5): Superb -
- Bruno (8/5): Very good -
- Ghosttraveller (9/5): Superb - The location is very nice, located perfectly near the big channel. The room was clean. All in all, a nice experience.
- Krzysztof (9/5): Superb - Location Nothing major
- Oleksandr (9/5): Superb -
- Andrea (8/5): Very good -
- Ainur (1/5): Bad - Bad experience BED BUGS!!!
Unfortunately, our stay at Palazzina Schiavoni was completely ruined due to bed bugs.
After the first night, we noticed some strange bites, but we weren’t sure what caused them. However, after the second night, the number of bites increased significantly. Only the people who slept in the bedroom were affected. Later, it became clear that these were bed bug bites — typical linear “tracks.”
We reported the issue to the property right after check-out, meaning after the second night. The management replied only a week later and simply denied the presence of any pests. But we are absolutely sure the source was this apartment. After leaving, we stayed in other accommodations, and no new bites appeared — confirming our suspicion.
This situation completely ruined our vacation, and we are still undergoing treatment. The bites are still visible and make it impossible to wear open clothing. I can provide photos of the bites privately if needed.
Instead of offering proper compensation, we were given a discount for a future stay — which is simply unacceptable when it comes to health issues. We will never stay in these apartments again and will not risk our health a second time.
If you don’t want health problems and a ruined vacation — don’t stay at this property.
- Mojgan (7/5): Good -
- Baghban (8/5): Very good -
- Merili (7/5): It was pleasant. - Location was on point, area was quiet, which for us was really important to get away from the crowd and our apartment was cozy, clean and everything you need for a short-term stay was there (pots, pans, cutlery, tableware, towels, soap) Little bit way too thin walls, you could hear people talking apartment below, but thnakfully we were so tired after our active days that it didn’t bother much.
- Natalie (8/5): Very good -
- Lizzy1953 (8/5): Very good - The unit itself was perfect, great space, great vicinity , (out your door turn left ,10 steps on the grand cana) just idylicl! We loved our stay. Our only issue were with the stairs. There are 2 flights of steep stairs. One of of our group is quite elderly and uses a stick. She was quite restricted by this.
- Sarah (9/5): great stay but it was hard to communicate with the host - I think the place is in a great location and bigger than I thought. It was quite and clean and nice after a long day. I tried to text the host and they never answered me.
- Anastasia (6/5): Good location - I liked the location, it felt central to the things that we wanted to do in Venice and we enjoyed our daily route from here. I also liked the side of the apartment, it very very spacious. The bathroom was clean too, always a bonus. The room has a slight smell of damp to it. The best in the master bedroom was so squeaky every time you moved that I was scared to turn in my sleep in case of waking anyone up with the noise. There was a leak from the upstairs rooms onto the bed next to the front door to the apartment however thankfully due to the strange layout we’d brought that mattress into the master bedroom so our kids were in the same room as us as I didn’t like the idea of them sleeping so far away and next to a front door. The noise from upstairs was really bad, the floorboards must be paper thin because we could hear every movement of the room above us. I wouldn’t be staying here again.
- Anne (8/5): A good place to stay in Venice a little bit away from the crowds. - The flat was only a few minutes away from the piazza di San Marco, in a quiet little street. It was very convenient to walk all around Venice. A little bit of light above the kitchen sink would have been nice.
- Nikoletta (7/5): Great location, within walking distance of the main attractions. - The location of the property was exceptional, only a few minute walk from the ferry and a 10min walk from the Doge’s Palace and Piazza San Marco. We found that the mattresses were not very comfy.
- Filipa (10/5): Exceptional - I'm very happy with the clear and easily accessible communication I got from this property. Usually the problem with properties without reception is that you can't get a hold of them when you need them. Here this wasn't an issue because they provide multiple channels of communication and reply quickly. The location was good, it was clean, I was allowed to leave my bag a bit early, the apartment is equipped with everything you'd need for a longer stay except an oven, but let's be honest, I wasn't going to bake a cake while on vacation :D Highly recommend!
- Yevhenii (10/5): Great apartment, everything you need is there, perfect location! - Everything was clean and cozy!
- Ozan (8/5): Viva venice - Clean and good spot Third floor without elevator and narrow steps was a challenge. You are also obligated to throw your wastes but no info about where to
- Larry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zhong (7/5): Good - Perfect location. Shower water turned cold after 2-3 people using it. We are a family of 5, the last two people had to shower in freezing water which was horrendous.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - A really comfortable location if we speak about traveling routes by boat — the ticket office is nearby, so, even if the weather is stormy (like it was on my last day of stay), it’ll take you 10-15 mins max to get to he office, buy tickets and come back😊. The apartment is spacious, with all the technical equipment installed, including the washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioner (the last one was quite specific — the pipe was indoors (instead of outdoors), so cold air was mixed with hot air) A small inconvenience with the air conditioner, but it wasn’t a big issue for me
- Sofia (7/5): Good - Excellent location.
Very responsive stuff. When in need of something, someone was availiable to help. For paying so much, even in Venice, I would expect a better mattress, shampoo in the shower and not just soap. I would also expect a better equipped kitchen. For example there was no pepper only salt. I would expect not to have to inquire constanly information that should be found in the apartment. For example, I had to ask for the wifi password. I had to ask how the kitchen is working. The sockets in the bathroom had no electricity. I imagine that if I asked there would be another trick that they would tell me to do so that they would work. But when it is 11 or 12 at night and you have returned tired from walking all day around or from a conference you just need it to work. Also, there is a problem with the key of the outside door (difficult to use if someone doesn't show you) while the inside door does not close easily. Someone had to come to show me. Finally, there is a serious problem with the soundproofing. You really feel that the people in the other apartments are actually inside your room.
- Liza (3/5): Unsatisfied - It is nice furnished and spacious. The door of the aparment were broken. It was broken for the first time we entered the apartment. We almost could not get in. I immediately send message to the owner that we have problems. Then somehow we managed to get in. Everytime we wanted to enter the aparment we tried for 10-15 minutes. We also called the owner and send her videos of how the doors do not work. But she insisted that the doors are fine. We even asked for the help our neighbours. The next day we did not even close the door, because it could not be closed. We slept in the apartment with doors open. We had to lean the ladder to the door so that we felt a bit safer with doors open.
We also requested for a blanket, because the was no blanket for the third bed. We did not get it, because the owner said that there is enough blankets/bed sheets. My friend had to cover herself with a towel.
- Rohit (1/5): Poor customer experience, not customer friendly - Location The wifi did not work for an entire day of our stay. When we contacted their emergency WhatsApp number (because it was after hours on a weekend), they firstly never responded to our call. We then tried again the next morning at 11 am and that was the first time they said they are trying to work on a solution for us, until then we had no clue because they did not even acknowledge our message. They then attempted to help us by giving us a replacement router to connect after an entire day.. Later they did not attempt to compensate us either for the inconvenience. They even said it's frustrating to them that I insisted on compensation for the trouble, without any regard for our inconvenience, asking us to stop texting them.
Secondly, the booking does not tell this at the beginning but the rules of the stay include taking out garbage and not leaving it behind at the property or risk incurring a charge. The way to dispose trash is by taking it out to a trash boat in the city that isn't very close by or by waiting for a garbage man to ring the bell between the hours of 8 am and 12 pm. Most people I know are not waiting around on their vacation for a trash guy to show up. Also, neither of these options work well on weekends from what we experienced so we had to find a different way to take care of our trash. For the price they charged, these little things not being taken care of for us at the end of the stau made it not worthwhile. I would not book here again for this price.
- Anna (9/5): Best location and price, good facilities, comfortable beds, close to La Biennale - The location was perfect - close to La Biennale and also city centre everything was fine
- Bret (9/5): Terrific location, clean, easy to access. Would not stay again because of neighbor noise. - Location Guests in the 3rd floor might as well have been in the room with you. So loud. Unlike any apartment or hotel.
- Emilia (10/5): everything was nice - I liked the location and the modern furniture and bathroom -
- Yaroslav (10/5): Great authentic location right on Zacharia Place - Absolutely great authentic venetian location
If you have a balcony decent reconstruction Probably in natural due to old building s in water - there is a curvature of the floor, so your luggage and air-conditioning block will be tending to roll to the center of the room 🫢
But it’s negligible compared to the value you get from the overall stay
- Rafael (1/5): Very disappointing - Location Very disappointing place. We had a reservation for check-in at 17:00, but upon our arrival at approximately 19:00, we were surprised to find out that our room was not ready. The beds were unmade, towels were strewn on the floor, and there was unflushed waste in the toilet. We immediately contacted your support team, but it took several hours for the room to be prepared. Only at 21:30 we were finally able to enter the room. Unfortunately, our difficulties did not end there. We discovered that the air conditioning in our room was not functioning. Although we were provided with a portable AC unit, it was extremely loud and made it nearly impossible for us to sleep. This experience was far below the standards we expected from the hotel, and it significantly impacted our stay. Also note, the stuff refused to compensate us.
- Vladimir (7/5): Lovely stay near San Marco that’s tarnished by inadequate air conditioning - The location is good, overall apartment is nice, although the floor is tilted, there is a balcony with a partial view of the sea. Nice neighborhood. Very responsive and helpful staff. Clean, nice bathroom, The aircon couldn’t cool off the room, it was unbearable to sleep there, as the room is in the attic it gets very hot. The entrance door is hard to lock and unlock.
- Kotevski (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, clean and tidy and easily accessible (once you know how to get around Venice!) Would have been handy to have check in info two days before as we had phone roaming issues during transit which meant a hard time trying to work out how to get in.
- Michele (10/5): Exceptional - Location was brilliant. We made a mistake with our booking and staff were amazing accomodating us for the extra night.
- Elizabeth (5/5): Passable - Clean and good location Small and tiny dining area
- Knapton (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natasa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samaneh (6/5): Pleasant -
- Annie (8/5): Great location! - Great location, spacious apartment with everything you need. Disappointed with service after I reported the air con unit was not working, the apartment was on the top floor with temperatures reaching 28 degrees and a 5 month old baby. I requested a fan as an alternative which was refused.
This apartment has no lift, being on the top floor lots of stairs to climb which was not a problem for us but wanted to highlight for other travellers.
- David (5/5): Considering it was a very expensive B & B a little more money could have been spent on small things - Considering it was a very expensive B & B a little more money could have been spent on small things.... for instance, the pillows were very thin and budget, the cooktop wouldnt work, 3 of us tried for 20 minutes to get it going. I asked the landlord how to work it and she said look in the manual...but the was no manual.
I dont mind paying top dollar for a place but its a shame that everything else, apart from the location, was BUDGET.
- Shelly (8/5): Great location, nice apartment a bit overpriced - The Location , it was clean and newly refurbished minimally furnished with ikea furniture, also there were 2 very steep flights of stairs that are difficult with suitcases and definitely not for disabled or older/ unfit people..
- Felix (7/5): Good - Central location, effortless check-in. Clean apartment. Moldy shower, only basic appliances, no modern TV (without streaming options).
Lack of shelving space.
- Machatova (7/5): Good - Lokacion, restaurant on street noisy neighbors, few mirrors(for 5 women)
- Vladimir (8/5): Great place, SUPER thin walls - Excellent location, 5 minutes away there is a large grocery store and all attractions are within walking distance. Nearby are major public transport stops and museums. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food. Super thin walls, we heard everything happening with our neighbors, we could make out what they were saying, we watched a video with them through the walls and we could talk.
very narrow corridors with stairs, be prepared for this
- Giulio (8/5): A nice and clean apartment, near Venice Biennale, rented for a premium price - I've spent two nights (April 18th and 19th) at Palazzina Schiavoni, in apartment n.3, that is an attic with sloping roof and a little balcony. I've stayed there in occasion of the Venice Biennale preview. The location is optimal if you are interested in the Venice Biennale, as the apartment is at a few minutes walk from Arsenale and Giardini della Biennale. Sarlux, the company renting the apartment, provides lots of information before the check-in, that is very helpful. The check-in is all autonomous, very smooth process. For a minor electrical issue, I spoke over the phone with one of their representatives while I was there and they were very kind and helpful. The apartment is fully renovated and very clean, with robust double glass windows (that help insulate from the tourists noise coming from the laguna-side). It is perfect for a solo-traveler, and guess ok for two travelers. The apartment can host up to three people, one in the double bed and one in a single sofa bed. Being high demand days, for the two nights I've spent €1200 (it was one of the few last availabilities on Booking.com when I made the reservation), that is a little bit more than a 3 star hotel I had previously booked. I guess in other dates the prices could be lower, in any case, if you are looking at this, you are probably seeing that this accommodation is set on a premium price level. Important: walls and floors between surrounding apartments are very thin and you can literally hear everything that happens in the other apartments (noises and voices). So, for example, if you are a light sleeper easily triggered by noises you should consider this.
The schuko electric socket on the left of the mirror in the bathroom doesn't work, I told it to the organization representative while I was there.
The apartment door it's a bit hard to properly close, make sure to adequately push/pull when closing from inside/out with keys. More than one time I believed to have closed it, and afterwards I realized it had actually remained open (I told it to the organization representative).
Maybe they could add a couple of night tables on the sides of the bed.
They could share the information on the apartment and other services as soon as the reservation is made (I received the documentation couple of days before the check-in)
- Howard (7/5): Comfortable and convenient, with responsive staff. - Very convenient location near St Mark’s but a little away from the crowds. The staff of the agency were very prompt in remedying a plumbing problem and in providing an iron/ironing board. The description of the apartment properly points out that access is by steps with no lift. The steps are quite steep and in parts with no railings so the apartments would not suit anyone with impaired mobility. In my apartment there was an intrusive mechanical/electrical noise that changed pitch and intensity constantly. Ear plugs remedied the problem.
- Nikola (8/5): Grate experiance. Wondrful city with artistic soul. Really near plazza San Marco - Great location, good apartment. It was not an apartment like in the picture, they gave us another apartment, but regardless of that, it suited us because it was on the 1st floor.
- Edonita (10/5): We enjoyed it is so much! - The location of the property was awesome. The apartment was very clean and the hosts were very good at responding to our requests. The apartment looks like in the picture 10/10
- Seana (8/5): Good location for brief stay, easy self check-in - Good location, short distance to main attractions, easy self check-in. We stayed in the number 3 attic studio, it looks pretty much like the pictures, with a small kitchenette and good sized bathroom. It’s suitable for a short stay to explore Venice. Nice renovation of an old building (except the lack of soundproofing) NO soundproofing whatsoever. OMG! Bring earplugs!!!!! We could hear the neighbors talking, laughing, arguing, playing music, etc. it was literally as if they were in the same apartment with us. I am not exaggerating.
The small balcony, which we were looking forward to, was disappointing- it is basically useless because there is absolutely no furniture, no chairs, not even a simple stool, yet there is more than enough space for these things. Also there is not a proper step between the studio and the balcony which has a significant height difference - you make a big step up to go out then a big one down to re-enter. This is somewhat dangerous because it was damp outside and a bit slippery. I saw these issues mentioned in older reviews so I can confirm that as of Jan 31, 2024 things have not changed.
Bathroom shower stall needs a major deep clean with bleach because it smelled a bit musty and there was visible mold & mildew, which is probably an ongoing battle in a place like Venice, but it was obvious that it’s been there a while.
- Mutlu (10/5): Exceptional - Its very clean, near the center of the venice everything is the same as mentioned on booking Web site.
- Békei (10/5): Amazing - Everything. The host was extremly help ful!

- Gabriela (10/5): Modern, central confortable little apartment - The location was excellent, in the center and nevertheless in a quiet little street. The apartment vey well furnished, modern and comfortable, in an old charming renovated building, there where no smells, no noises with well isolated windows and modern heating and shower.
Equipped kitchen and cleaning utensils. Nothing
- Jonalyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xanthippi (10/5): Really cute, for a short stay and those who travel light! - The Location was amazing. Really close to everything. Excellent spot even for returning for a quick stop and keep on going with the rest of your day. Also our room was in the attic part of the building so it was quite nice and quiet.
There is also a cute little balcony to get some fresh air and I also had a really nice view. What I didn’t like will not affect my rating, I have to mention it though.
The first day when we arrived it was a bit cold and rainy so the first thing we wanted to do is to turn on the heat in order to keep us dry and warm.
The heating screen on the wall was working normally, we set heat and temperature and everything but the air conditioning was not working meaning no heating was coming out.
The staff responded to our messages really fast but still the problem was not fixed.
We said ok since the next days it was sunny so it was fine let’s say.
The other thing that really bugged me was that the blanket/quilt for our bed had no cover..I am really hoping it is being washed in every stay cause otherwise it’s not good….
