Inside is lovely, the entrance way and outside of the building is awful!
On arrival I thought we had the wrong apartment block. The entrance is not on the road communicated, but on a private road running parallel to the Palace buildings. The actual entrance was dirty and just horrible, there is a restaurant in the building next door and its extractor vent is next to the entrance - clearly fish and chips are a big seller because the smell is overpowering. The entrance was filled with leave debris and just not very welcoming. Once inside the hallway was not inviting at all, the smell of fish and damp permeated the grubby hallway carpets. Once finally inside, the place is nicely decorated. Bathroom could do with a quick shower base renovation. There was no bath soap, just two lots of body moisturiser. We were disappointed to see no salt and pepper or even some coffee capsules to get us started. For a place that is not cheap, as a guest I would expect more in the way of basics. My last moan is about the location, while very central, the view from the living room and kitchen is of the car park, trash bins and the queues and queues people waiting to get into the palace and they can make quite a noise - very little privacy in the morning. While there are window blinds people can look straight into the kitchen window. Personally, for the price we paid, I will not be recommending this place to friends.
