Fort40 Guest House

We really enjoyed the small coffee corner next to the reception, where usually takes place the breakfast (on request) which we didn’t do. There coffee machine and tea pots, as well as potable still water and glasses where available 24h for every guest.

I didn’t fancy the hard mattress and pillows very much, although this is mostly a personal preference, I would suggest to present each guest with one soft pillow and a flatter and harder one so that it’s up to the guest to chose which one to use. Other than that (again this is due to a personal preference) i think the stay was great.

Cute room, stylish design

Before 8.00 am construction works going on

Nice location, good price and helpful staff

The property itself and location were great. The property manager was always helpful and kind. The cleaning crew did a phenomenal job every day. Everything was meticulously cleaned.

Two easy fixes that would really enhance the rental: 1. Fluffy pillows. The pillows provided were pitiful. You are in the business of providing people a place to sleep but provide the thinnest, cheapest pillows possible. 2. A larger tv. It is nearly the size of a computer screen. Now, to address the real issue: The construction. I did read reviews about the construction so I want to clarify. All the buildings are attached. They share the same walls. The construction is literally taking place on the other side of the walls on both sides. They start promptly by 8 am and continue the full day. They are literally STANDING beside your balcony outside on the scaffolding. Debris was everywhere on the balcony. No effort was made to protect the balcony from the debris and they took no initiative to clean up after the day was done. A layer of sawdust and chunks of construction material were on the floor, table and chairs when we came in after sightseeing. The walls are so thin, I could hear them literally scraping mud on bricks through the walls. Of you are sightseeing all day, it’s not a problem. But, if you would like to come in and take a nap or relax for a day…forget it. Not happening. It would have been nice to have gotten a discounted rate as we were surely unable to utilize our room the way would have liked. There was zero communication about the construction. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they worked on the weekend. That being said, it was very quiet once construction ceased for the day. In a year when all the construction is complete, this will be the perfect rental.
