Residence Liberty

LikedLocation was decent.

DislikedRequested single beds in 2 rooms but both had doubles, neither room was very clean. Bedding scruffy and one of the rooms was difficult to access due to a temperamental lock. Contacted the hotel upon arrival (check in was at a different location) about the errors regarding bed types but nobody responded.

LikedLocation ok…

DislikedThe check in procedure was not optimal at all. Lack of electricity plugs for European (EU) standards, and when asked, they didn’t have any adaptors.

LikedLocation and price

Disliked10 minuter walk to reception and low interredt from reception

LikedThe staff were all excellent and always very responsive to emails.

DislikedI'm not actually reviewing the residence liberty because they ended up putting me in another apartment that was farther away from this train station, which I was not happy about, since that's a prime consideration. However, the photos of liberty pretty much match the apartment I was in, so probably will give you a good enough idea. The only light as you come in is for the kitchen. The other two switches by the front door don't seem to do anything, so there are no lights in the living room aside from the spillover from the kitchen. The kitchen doesn't have a kettle nor an espresso pot. It would be possible to use the saucepan to boil water, but they're pretty large. In general, the kitchen is not well fitted out. There is no dish soap, no sponges, no kitchen towels, so, after spilling coffee, it was difficult to clean up. It also made it impossible to wash the dishes thoroughly before I left. I don't know if the fold out bed in the living room is any good and I didn't try the TVs in either the bedroom or the living room. The bedroom just has one light sconce plus a bedside lamp on either side of the bed. However, you can only plug one thing in on either side, so you can't have a reading lamp and charge your phone at the same time. I'm 5'5" and I could barely reach the closets in the hangers in the wardrobe because they're hung so high, so if you're shorter than that, you'll need to stand on a chair. One of the hooks on the blackout drapes in the bedroom is missing, so not very effective. The air-conditioning is essentially useless. At least the bathroom had adequate towels and a decent shower, although it's unfortunate that all of the soap is either wrapped in plastic or in single use plastic bottles.
