Lacking trash bins on floors & maybe better organisation overall for services. 5th floor pool is great! ##### Pia Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### TYRONE 23 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities My stay at The Essence Apartments was far from satisfactory. The bedding provided was unclean, which raised hygiene concerns from the outset. Essential amenities, such as a dryer, were missing, leading to unnecessary inconvenience. However, the most frustrating issue was an abrupt power outage that lasted over eight hours. Instead of resolving the situation, the host simply advised me to purchase electricity myself—an unacceptable response for a service that should have been included. Overall, poor management and lack of basic upkeep made for a frustrating experience. ##### TYRONE Stayed 20 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Aka Elie Daniel 23 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Recommended for Serious Travelers My experience at this property was far below acceptable standards. Upon arrival, the duvet had no cover and was stained with blood and other unidentifiable yellow and brownish marks. When I reported it to the staff, I was casually told to “just turn it around.” Eventually, I was given a duvet cover—but it was the wrong size (a queen for a king duvet), and I had to put it on myself. The bathroom was also dirty, with dried brown liquid around the faucet that staff refused to clean, despite me showing them photos right after check-in. Worse still, a repairman was sent to my room without any notice. He dismantled part of the washing machine, left exposed wires visible, and didn’t return—leaving the area messy and the machine unusable. Service was consistently unprofessional. Several staff members were distracted while being addressed, openly watching TikTok videos and even dancing with the sound blasting in the lobby. There were also no towels in the room, no trash bin in the bathroom, and a noticeable amount of hair in multiple areas. While those might seem minor, they added to an overall feeling of neglect. This place may suit guests coming to the city for a party weekend, but for anyone expecting a minimum level of hygiene and professionalism, I would not recommend ##### Aka Elie Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laurent 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Communication ##### Laurent Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evans 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Evans Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evans 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Evans Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The White Hart Hotel, Boston, Lincolsnhire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boston-Hotels-The-White-Hart-Hotel.h120055.Hotel-Information) > > [South Congress Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-South-Congress-Hotel.h9869259.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Delmere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Delmere-Hotel.h21632.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Saadiyat Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Saadiyat-Island-Hotels.s50-0-d6268739.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Almeria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almeria-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d2045-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bojo Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Accra-Hotels-Bojo-Beach-Resort.h6415409.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fairborn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fairborn-Hotels.d8061.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Delphi - Amsterdam Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-The-Delphi-Amsterdam-Townhouse.h23765.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels Spain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spain-Capsule-Hotels.d166-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Savoy-Seychelles-Resort-Spa.h7352943.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Milano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Melia-Milano.h662486.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Clifton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Royal-Clifton-Hotel.h5788687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d553248634335196573-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Address](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Address.h3856271.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to San Javier (MJV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mjv/manchester-to-murcia) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/syd/birmingham-to-sydney) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/man/bangkok-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Cambridge (CBG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/cbg/liverpool-to-cambridge) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Sapporo (CTS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hkg/cts/hong-kong-to-sapporo) > > [flights from vc bird intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/anu/flights-from-vc-bird-intl-airport) ### Activities > [Things to do in Shipley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Shipley.d177959.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Cilento Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cilento.d6049595.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bournemouth Pier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Pier-Bournemouth-City-Centre.d6150284.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Bracknell Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Holiday-Rentals.d4580.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Pencraig](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pencraig.dx6085217) > > [Visit Nusa Dua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nusa-Dua.dx9278)
