Absynt Apart Ovo

We came already several times. Good localisation near to city center. Underground parking necessary because no place in street. The room is big enough with our child. However, there was less furniture as usual; what made us a bit disappointed. One night, there were people (drunk?) making noise in the corridor. I think still a good value for price but quality reduced compared to past.

Smelled like cigarettes inside one of the bathrooms, dirty bedsheets, my pillowcase had blood stains on it, next-door neighbors having a party all night long. Parking is complicated only 21 spots available for Apartments so I paid public parking.

The apartment was great and close to the old town and Panorama Raclawicka. The lobby was very hard to find and when we walked in the front desk staff was very unpleasant and not friendly at all. There were garbage bags all over in the lobby. Good luck finding parking! We parked at the hotel and thank God there was space it cost us about 30$ for 24 hours which wasn’t bad.

Nice size and very clean apartment. The most attractive feature is location. You can find several restaurants on the ground floor, a shopping mall just across the street and the town square is just a 10-minute walk.

Stayed here for 4 days. Upon arrival on a Sunday at 10:30 pm there is no one at the front desk but the room info is send via text. As I entered my room I turn on the kettle to make a tea, smoke starts coming out of the electric plug, room is now filled with smoke and smells like burning plastic. Not wanting to be electrocuted I ran down to security who came up and unplugged the kettle. I call the after hours phone number and tell them what happens. They don’t have a room to move me to as their full so I suggest I will check out and move to the hotel next door and the lady confirms they will refund the night and get me a new room the next day. Security confirms this room is dangerous to move out. That’s what I did. She gave me the info for the manager to send the email and bank info for refund. When I arrived the next day I got a new room but the tv did not work. Every day I went down several times asking if anyone is coming and no one ever came. The service from the ladies at the front desk is terrible. It’s a problem that you even try to interact with them and I am polish and speak Polish. After two weeks I received a email from the “ manager” of the property telling me I have no claim should have stayed in the apartment as it was “ no threat to me”. Offered me a credit for one night and free breakfast for next timeI am disputing the charges but please don’t stay at this property. I guess they just count on tourists who never come back and so they treat them like garbage.

The building itself is centrally located, looks luxurious and modern. The room was located on the 5th floor facing the back. It was extremely laud and noisy due to the restaurants and cafés on the ground floor. IKEA style fully furnished and equipped with a low key maintenance (rust on the heating, weak pillows and mattress, lack of cutlery, etc.). Check out is at 10 AM, with no possibility for a late check out. Communication was via email with instructions how to get in. Not coming back.
