Maule Holidays

We booked this hotel through the Expedia app….at no time was it mentioned the hotel and restaurant were undergoing renovations. We paid extra for the breakfast and due to the closure of the restaurant, we had a “boxed” breakfast in lieu. Great if you eat a lot of bread, not great if dont. Coffee and water were readily available at anytime during the day or night in the lobby, this was nice. We did report we had one light that was dangling from the ceiling which no-one came to look at and the switch for the main light was finicky at best. We also noticed a very strong smell of paint throughout our room, causing us to leave the door open. We did let the front desk know, but no other rooms were available. As per other reviews the quarters are tight and you can hear all the escapades of your neighbours!

The property was at a good location but the hotel is under construction so you hear hammering throughout the day. There was no warning of this before arrival.

Close to many things. Métro nearby. Very nice hotel.

The check in process went well. You have to leave your key at the front desk each time you leave the hotel which we found odd. Everything you enter you have to give your room number and receive your key again. The hotel is about a 13 min walk from the metro station, which is convenient. My husband found women’s hair rolled into a ball in his clean towel (this was not mine). There is no safe, which is a must when traveling (passports and extra cash). We were supplied with one bottle of water in the room when we checked in. I assumed they would replenish it daily but they did not.

The hotel is across the street from the metro which is great to navigate the city but outside your window all you see is the train station and people coming and going all day. The front desk is also not staffed 24/7, they just lock the door so random people don’t walk in during the night. The room was very tiny and mine had fruit flies for some reason
