Perfect! Three things to know - 1. It is INSIDE the Holiday Inn, being an apartment managed by the front desk. They don't tell you that. 2. The kitchen is abominably set up with no dish towel or paper towels, a smattering of utensils, and so on. 3. We were given a smoking room! The desk found us a non-smoking one, which made it all good. ##### GEOFFREY Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Gaia Residence is in Holiday Inn but they don’t say this. You get a nice big room but it lacks the basics like a dust bin in the room and, dining table and chairs. There’s a tiny kitchen with a hob, kettle and microwave but not really useful without the dinner table. Breakfast on 2nd floor is fine but similar each day. Hotel is quite far out in Gaia city and not that well served by public transport although we used the Andente Tour card to get the buses within 10 minutes walk. There’s a supermarket about 5 minutes away where you can buy water and stuff. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Victor 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Communication #### Hotel.com! Please give correct directions! The hotel stay was excellent but it was - Holiday Inn!!?!?! The booking reference stated "If a late check-in is planned, contact this property directly". We planned to arrive around 7 pm, but came later. I could not find Gaia Residence at that address. I came to the same block after circling for an hour 3 times around complex hilly old suburb with numerous roundabouts and slip lanes. I finally decided to ask nearby Holiday Inn hotel reception for directions., You can imagine our surprise and frustration when they said that they are the same as Gaia Residence!!!! Why wouldn't my reservation instructions state that!!! Other than that please give 8 out of 10 to the property! Highly recommended! ##### Victor Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Not very close by ##### Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SR 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication All Excellent! ##### SR Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andre 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities greahlt ##### Andre Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginie 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Appartement très grand, idéal pour 4 personnes.
