The Royal Elysée Suite

A good shopping location and well laid out apartment with a very rude host

Points positifs : The property location is outstanding and close to two metro stations. A lot of thought and money was spent on the design and it is very well laid out with all comforts needed for your stay. We liked the idea of it being in an office block as it was very quiet and secluded and we rarely saw anyone else. The host left us a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome gift and the towels were new. There are also cleaning supplies to use if you have an extended stay. We felt it to be very good value for money and if attention is given to a few details this is a gem.

Points négatifs : General maintenance is needed as wear and tear is showing in many areas. Although the apartment was clean on the immediate surface a deep clean and proper dusting is needed in areas that are easily overlooked. The host was probably the most unfriendly and rude person that I have ever come across in my years of travel and I think it is a shame as it takes away so much from the property. I was threatened that my reservation would be cancelled twice (a week before our departure) and that forced me to become very compliant to her wishes and to back down. Even when I thanked her for the wine gift I was ignored. It should not be allowed that a host can treat a guest in such a manner. Many other people have mentioned this in their comments so be warned.
