STRONG NOT RECOMMENDED – A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR PROMO PHOTOS!
My stay at Hillside Nursery Apartment was an absolute disaster – a total waste of money and time. Please think twice before booking this place!
First impressions were awful:
The moment we entered the building, I was hit by a strong smell of dampness and mildew. The entire lobby and corridors reeked of this musty, humid odor – like the place has never been properly ventilated. The condo was even worse – walls and furniture felt damp and sticky to the touch. Absolutely uncomfortable.
Extremely poor maintenance and hygiene:
The maintenance here is a joke! Walls and toilet doors were damaged. The kitchen sink sealant was around with mold with black dots – clearly never cleaned for ages. The bedsheets were pilled, rough, and looked like they hadn't been changed at all. I couldn't even sleep properly – it just felt so unhygienic.
False advertising – the view:
I was on the 10th floor, and guess what? The only view was a full-scale construction site – poor seaview unlike what you saw on the promo photos.
Bathroom and pool – total disappointment:
The bathroom was stuffy with terrible ventilation – nothing like the photos online. As for the so-called swimming pool? It was falling apart – cracked tiles, broken fixtures, and the water looked murky and unchanged for who knows how long. No way I was getting in.
Positive comment:
If I had to say one good thing, it's the convenient location to the cable car station and the 3.min fireworks at.night. But you can.see it anywhere at the sunset town. so that absolutely does NOT make up for everything else.
overpriced condo:
For this quality, a 1-bedroom is worth at most $40 USD, and a 2-bedroom maybe $50. But I paid over $95 USD per night – completely ridiculous and not worth it at all!
Suggestions:
If you're on a budget, there are plenty of french style boutuque hotels in the $60-70 range that are WAY cleaner and nicer. This place is dirty, old, dishonest, and overpriced. DO NOT STAY HERE- you'll thank yourself later!
