Had lots of emails asking when we were going to arrive - this was annoying as we didn't know that because we were on public transport. Had previously asked if I could arrange something special in our room for my husband's 60th birthday, when we arrived but never got any replies.
Arrived at the Empire Apartments to find we had no booking with them - then discovered that the booking was with some random young Chinese fellow who took us up to the room. This would explain why we kept getting pesky emails - because he wasn't actually on site.
Had problem with shower filling up with water - around our ankles. He came next day to fix (we had to wait for him to come though, as he didn't have another key!) with boiling water, but husband told him it needed a good clean out as was full of hair. Toilet seat was wobbly - he will fix it when we leave - really?!!
It is a nice new apartment though, and if the things have been fixed properly, and if you understand that you are not getting a hotel-style check-in and will keep getting asked when you are going to arrive, then the apartment could be worth considering as it is close to town, lots of restaurants, a small supermarket, and transport, and is very reasonably priced.
