Wonmi Residency

Location is very close to the lighthouse and the fort which is why we booked this place. To find the place you go into the garage and go up an elevator. Can be hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. The apartment is quite inside although the location is a busy area. The apartment was huge and had very comfortable beds. We slept so well. The staff were so lovely - always smiling, joking and if we ever needed anything they were on hand and foot to help. We only stayed one night before our flight home but could have easily stayed another. The staff were so accomdating to let us stay in their waiting area till the evening for our taxi home to the airport. Really can't fault them was a flawless experience. We also came when it was not the sunny season but we liked the swimming pool and had a quick dip. I could imagine it would be nice in the Summer. If you have a big family the place would be excellent.

- hairdryer would be helpful but the fans dried my hair. - couldn't log onto Netflix 🤣 first world problems said no signal!

Great location, clean and spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful

No fire alarms and the main stairs down are locked. There is a fire escape.

Large comfortable spacious apartment. The pool was lovely with a view of the fort.

Loud air con fans

The place is huge, very spacious and very high ceilings, lots of room for 6 people. Beds are huge. The pool is nice, as is the rooftop space. The location is fine, very close to the train station and easily walkable into the Fort areas. Concierge/attendant was helpful and dealt with the problems we raised to them (kettle and dead batteries in TV remote) quickly

Per other reviews, read them, there were a few problems which I wouldn't expect for what we paid for the stay. - The main AC in the living area didn't work, this was in a previous review. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the living area has a big glass wall behind which are the AC units for the other apartments. They generate a lot of heat, so the living area was roasting, although when I asked about the AC unit we were offered a fan. The other problem was that those AC units behind the glass were very very noisy. I took a video of the noise but I can upload it. - One of the bedrooms suffers from this noise too as it is right next to the main living area. Whilst there is an ensuite between the bedroom and the AC units, there is only a taped cover in one corner over a window I think, which doesn't block out the noise. See photo. - There is a leak in the basin plumbing in the ensuite, so whenever you use the basin, water leaks across the floor, reporting regular mopping or wet socks if you forget. This appears to be a known problem as there was a mat on the floor by this basin. See photo. - The showers didn't have hot water. In one shower we couldn't get the electric shower to give any warm water at all, in the other we did but it was lukewarm. Also no shower gel etc. Minor point, but at this price? - The kettle didn't work, this was due to the plug being stuck in the socket because it had melted, due to arcing in the socket, if you pushed the plug into the socket, it crackled. This is dangerous wiring. The attendant managed to prise the plug out and gave me a new kettle as soon as I raised it, but the wiring needs checking. See photo. - Building work going on other floors, so drilling starts at 9.05am. It's very loud. Not the apartments fault, but just so you know. - Per other reviews you have to pay when you check-in, which I've never had to do before. I wonder why.
