Agape Apartments

This was quite a pleasant place to stay, a good location and is a close walk to a lot of the main tourist spots. It’s also close to many great shops and restaurants nearby! The room itself was modern and clean with a lovely homely feel to it. The balcony was a nice addition to the room, I quite enjoyed sitting out and relaxing. However, it wasn’t so easy to relax with the building site right across the garden. One of the mornings, I was rudely awakened at 6 am by the sound of a constant hammering noise coming from the site. I was flabbergasted and couldn’t get back to sleep at all! If you’re booking this hotel definitely look for one of the room’s opposite this side of the building. I found the location of our apartment to be quite strange, it wasn’t even in the main hotel building but was a walk across the gardens and then up six floors. This was very badly sign posted and not explained well at all by the man downstairs. It must have taken us about 20 minutes of walking back and fourth before we finally found it. Not to mention, we were looking for it at nighttime and this entire complex is in pitch darkness. A bit scary if you ask me. When we finally got up to the floor our room was on we had to navigate through the black of night going down a daunting hallway before finding our apartment, and finding out how to switch on the lights! It was a bit of a troublesome experience but the pleasant look of the room did make up for the trek it takes to get there. We enjoyed most of our stay and despite the noisy building site, for the most part, slept quite well. That was until our final night at the establishment… we decided to take the stairs up to our apartment in order to burn off some of those holiday calories! The stairs were not well signposted and we actually climbed up more stairs than we were supposed to. This led us up to the “8th Floor”. My advice for anyone considering staying in this hotel would be, do not under any circumstances go up to the 8th floor!!! Why you might be asking? Well at the top of the stairs on this floor is a solid brown door different from any other we seen in the entire building. Upon approaching this door we heard music blaring very loudly. I looked at my partner as if to say “we’ve gone to far” and motioning to head back down the stairs. When suddenly the music coming from the door on the 8th floor stopped. We started to retreat down the stairs when the door was bust open and a woman came out screaming at us. She yelled things like “What do you want!?” “Fuck off!!” And “Get out of here”. It was terrifying. My partner barrelled down the stairs and I ran onto the nearest floor spamming at the elevator door, hoping that the elevator would come before the 8th floor psycho did… Luckily I made it away in the nick of time and I reconvened with my partner downstairs. We have never been so terrified in our whole entire lives. Whoever this woman is, I would stay away from her and her space. For this experience alone I will never return to this establishment but I would definitely recommend to those braver than I am.

Excellent central location. Clean and spacious room with cooking and laundry facilities in the room. Only issue I had was I couldn't get the internet to work
