Nongso Pebble Beach

Location was good! Right in front of bus station and subway stops. Very close to shopping areas and local markets. Staff were friendly and spoke English. Elevator available. My room was outdated and you could tell the walls and shower fixtures needed maintenance. For cleanliness, I had to ask for linen change because there was hair on the bed from a previous tenant. Mold and mildew were present in the room I stayed in, and traces of clothing particles like loose thread were on the floor. The good thing was working air conditioning, free waters for each day of your stay. Didn’t like the fact that they didn’t have full size bath towels, only hand towels for your shower.

I didn’t give 5 stars for amenities because I did not have time to utilize it on this trip. But overall the location was great. I felt more of a local vibes than a touristy place which I liked.

**Pros** * Spacious unit with a nice layout. **Cons** (many) * Rooms were not clean. There was dust in the corners and kitchen area, and the leather sofa had a strong unpleasant odor. * Even my young children commented on how dirty the apartment felt. * Very limited amenities. Aside from towels, bottled water, hand soap, and a hair dryer, almost nothing was provided. * Had to purchase our own laundry detergent. No iron or vacuum was available. * The washing machine and the bathtub's whirlpool function were disabled, making them unusable. * Confusing check-in process due to multiple elevator banks and poor directions. * Front desk staff were not helpful. A large sign at the entrance tells guests not to ask them any questions because they do not assist residence guests, creating an unwelcoming first impression. * Several warning notices in the room about fines for not washing dishes or sorting recycling correctly. The tone felt harsh and unwelcoming. **Overall** * While the apartment was spacious, the poor cleanliness, lack of amenities, confusing check-in process, and unfriendly atmosphere made this a disappointing stay. I would recommend choosing another property with better service and hospitality for a similar price.
