Location was great, very spacious rooms and bathrooms, good kitchen
地理位置優越
The room was clean and well equipped. It even had a washing machine which was a great surprise. The apartment is in China Town, very close to everything.
I would rate the stay an 8, however, the so-called reception area wasn’t very welcoming, with a narrow entrance that wasn’t particularly appealing. Once past this, though, the apartment itself was lovely.
Fantastisk flot og meget stor lækker lejlighed.
Man skulle gå gennem en meget smal smøge fra gaden for at komme ind bagved til lejligheden.
Amenities, location and staff are great
The entrance
Great apartment, clean, well located.
The alley to the apartment needs to be cleaned and made more aesthetically pleasing to match the apartment.
Man muss wissen was man bucht. Es ist sehr zentral und wenn man einfach ein günstiges Bett in Port Louis Zentrum möchte ist es perfekt
Es ist nicht wirklich hübsch oder luxuriös, muss es aber auch nicht, es ist halt eine günstige Unterkunft im Zentrum und dementsprechend ist das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis wirklich fair !
Slaapkamer/badkamer. Wij verbleven met z'n tweeën 4 nachten in dit verblijf. Het 2 persoons verblijf heeft geen ramen in de slaapkamer. De slaapkamer en de badkamer ziet er modern en fris uit. Bed was prima en ook de douche was fijn. We keuken heeft geen airco, alleen een ventilator, maar dat was prima. De keukeninventaris is wat aan de magere kant wanneer je zelf af je eten wilt kunnen bereiden. In de keuken wel een raam, maar geen uitzicht, je kijkt uit op trappenhuis. De auto konden we parkeren op een privé parking om de hoek. Voor 4 nachten betaalde wij 600 MUR. Om bij dit appartement te komen, moet je een smalle steeg in, daar verkoopt een oudere vrouw haar eten en heeft daar tafeltjes en stoeltjes staan voor klanten en dat op een breedte van 1 meter. Wanneer je daar voorbij bent weer een hek en daarachter de trappen naar boven. Met koffers is dit best een ding. De locatie zit middenin Chinatown, dus je bent overal dichtbij. Op zondag de meeste winkels/musea gesloten.
De steeg naar het appartement toe en de trappen en de minimale keukeninventaris.
L'emplacement est idéal, le logement est très bien équipé et l'équipe très sympa
The apartement was decorous.
The same of all other visitors. A part the appartement, all the rest was unclean. The quartier I don't like at all. I didn't feel safe walking alone.
Very steep and narrow stairs made taking luggage to the apartment quite difficult.
Huge apartment with brand new appliances and decor. Very comfortable bed, lots of storage and great shower. Excellent communication and easy check in. Price was very good and could easily charge more.
Nothing,
Convenience to Port Louis historical sites. Very clean and comfortable. Elodie was a dream to work & coordinate with.
Little noisy for light sleepers ... Royal Road is a high traffic route.
L'accueil la personne ne semblait pas être informée de mon arrivée. Absente lors de mon départ.
Sehr gut, war sauber und Zimmer sehr ruhig.
Wir wussten nicht das wir das Apartment ohne Fenster bekommen, sollte man darauf achten. Ein Apartment geht nach hinten und hat nur ein Fenster im Bad.
Tout sauf le bruit de la rue
Bruyant la nuit
Very nicely appointed and comfortable apartment with large eat in kitchen/ large fridge, large separate bedroom with large wardrobe and bathroom. Located in very local Chinatown and about 5/ 10 minute walk to market / bus depot/ smaller supermarkets etc and historic part of Saint Louis. Note old cobble stone pavements very uneven for walking and pulling luggage.
Note access is via a couple of locked doors/gates and dark narrow corridor and stairs. Apartment is secure and lovely once inside.
The location of the apartment is nice, close to he center. The hist was really friendly and the accommodation was clean.
You hear all the traffic from the street in the apartment and it feels like you sleep on the street. The entrance is through a narrow corridor, where also a small Chinese restaurant is located.
Close to everything
Little bit traffic noise in morning but all ok for location
Die Größe, die Aufteilung , die Ausstattung, die Lage der Unterkunft - Einfach Alles! Honeymoon Überraschung ♡
Für geräuschsensible Menschen absolut nicht zu empfehlen, da die Unterkunft direkt an einer dichtbefahrenen Straße und einer Moschee liegt.
位置很好,就在chinatown,非常方便,吃饭,city walk,都很便利。
Le quartier de China Town...les restaurants à proximité.
L'entrée est à refaire pour plus de convivialité.
La proximité
C'était bruyant
Quartos grandes, 2 banheiros e boa limpeza.
Super barulhento. Ônibus, carros e motos, passa do 24 horas. Funciona ao lado de um restaurante chinês, que funciona no corredor de acesso a casa. Bairro não é dos melhores.
The property is very clean and spacious
N/A
Very big and comfortable. It is in the center so convenient. Perfect for short stay.
The walkway to go inside can be hazardous. Small alleyway.
The location. It’s in Chinatown
The traffic noise. The apartment is located on a very busy street.
The location is convenient and the room is spacious with a nice bathroom. Communication with the host is easy.
The towels were obviously very old (even though I think everything had been washed). Not the fault of the host but the location means that it’s quite loud outside. the alley to get to the apartment is a little inconvenient and didn’t feel completely safe as a woman traveling alone. Also the room door doesn’t lock separately even though the apartment seems to have been shared with others.
The property is in city center . Close by waterfront and other sightseeing places are walkable distance . Very close to main bus terminal . Where one can get bus to whole of Mauritius .
There is no lift .so carrying heavy luggage through the small corridor and the stairs is difficult. No proper entrance to the place . The place from outside doesn’t appeal to be an apartment .
The staff were very nice. Warren the owner communicated well with us. His staff Doni and Elodie were very nice in welcoming us. The taxi driver Jameel who brought us to the airport for our departure was very nice too.
Fabulous location and very spacious
No one on site but they were very easy to get a hold of. Thee was a fire at night a half of a block down he street from us and while we were aware of it they messaged us within 5 mins of the fire trucks arriving.
Apartment was clean and in general a good state of repair.. The owner was there to greet us on arrival and briefly identify the apartment and security procedures. It was a reasonable 10 to 15 minutes walk to markets and harbour area.
Apartment was accessed through a narrow alley which in the daytime was almost fully obstructed with fast food cabinet and tables. Two flights of very steep stairs made access to the apartment with luggage very difficult. At night time the alleyway was crawling with large roaches and on one occasion a rat. The area is very run down and few restaurants are open after 18:00 hrs.
Vey noisy neighborhood. Different to what is shown in the uploaded photos.
Clean and comfortable.
Concrete stairs, not suitable for elderly people.
Very very clean and tidy with a very nice lady to greet us and give advice,Elodie. Very well appointed apartment and well presented.
Nothing at all
The location was central to everything. The Waterfront is just 10 mins walk away. The Fort is also 10 mins walk away. The financial district is 5 mins away and Chinatown is right at your doorstep. Lots of food options, museums, and shopping within 10 mins so it's pretty perfect if you plan on experiencing Port Louis itself.
The proximity to the road makes for noisy mornings but there's nothing they can do about that.
The property was in a very good condition and located in the heart of town
there was not late check out available and there is a restaurant down stairs at the entrance so some times have to ask guest to move to get through .
The apartment is located in China town and was easily accessible. The host is very accommodating and all services stated in the description were fully available. Great value for money!
Host was v attentive and helped to provide useful advice for my stay.
Place was spacious, very clean, and well furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Hosts were very helpful and easily contactable. Location was in the middle of Chinatown, walking distance from restaurants, the waterfront and central market
As the apartment overlooks a busy road, there is traffic noise at all times of the day and night. Double glazing would help. The apartment is accessed by 2 flights of narrow stairs - not ideal if you had large suitcases like us.
The service was excellent and the driver Jameel was one of the best in the town. If you reserved the apartment just ask about Jameel 👏
Great space in good taste. Minimal, uncluttered but with all you need. Provides a haven from the bustle of Port Louis Chinatown. Strange for me how the town shuts down at 6pm! But staying in was no problem.
there were a few repair issues (safe and zircon) but both got seen to immediately, so cannot complain. Royall Road is noisy daytime, but then quiet at night and during cyclone!
The location was excellent right in the heart of Port Louis in Chinatown. I was not sure what to expect fro the frontage adn narrow lane leading into the apartment but was so pleasantly surprised. The location is close to the market and many historic sites. The apartment was well appointed with exceptional sized bedroom, kitchen and a huge bathroom. It was spotlessly clean. I was fortunate to meet Warren Li when he delivered the key due to my late arrival. He is such a lovely person and made my entire stay in Mauritius a memorable occasion. The girls looking after the apartment were so kind.
not one thing
We were picked up by the owner who was very hospitable. The rooms were very roomy and cleaned. The most significant drawback is the lack of an elevator.
An elevator.
Room was very clean and met my satisfaction
The Apartment environment did not meet my expectation. I did not like the location
The apartment is very well located, near of everything. The communication was excellent. The apartment has everything you need to do your meals. The owner is a very good person, helps us with everything you needed, special with the transfer from the airport. The taxi contact he gave us was very good, the taxi driver (Mr. Jameel) is very good person, is a very good person if you also want to see the rest of the island.
The place is located at the center of the china town, for those who have great interst in the history and Hakka Chinese food, here is the best place to stay! And the host Warren us very nice, can ask him for any visit advises, especially diving !
Mosque right across the street. Crying and shouting started at 04:00.
Good location but no breakfast
The sellers at the entrance into the hotel and inadequate cooking utensils.
The host was friendly and helpful. Perfect size for 2 person, and the location was great! Near to China town and located in center of Port Louis.
The apartment is in a great location- very central and an easy walk from most of the main attractions. The apartment is well equipped with a lovely bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The host was very friendly and helpful.
Great location in China town, inside a close "compound". The communication with the host was great and they were super helpful. Pretty big apartment. Couple of Chinese restaurants around, walking distance (15//20 mins to Caudan).
The entrance to the apartment is a bit "doggy" (access is through a tiny alley where a chinese lady has her restaurant) so maybe not the most safe feeling, although I did have no issues at all.
Very spacious, clean, modern, close to restaurants. Very helpful and caring host.
I would recommend a mirror where one could do your hair. I got creative and used the microwave 🤭 Do bear in mind that it's in the middle Port Louis and it is quite noisy at night and it might be difficult to sleep.
easy access, friendly host
nothing, was a great experience
The apartment is well equipped and in a very good location. There are restaurants and cafes nearby and it‘s a 15 min walk to the waterfront. The owner is super nice and caring.
The smaller apartment has no view at all. One window in the kitchen shows the staircase and there is no window in the bedroom. And it is quite noisy. Below the apartment is a Chinese food place and the lovely woman starts moving tables, giving orders and chopping vegetables at 7:30am. Also the nearby mosque can be heard (also at night)
The apartment is well equiped: kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine, etc. It is also well situated, depending on what you intend to do. If you want to spend the day at the beach, forget it. But if you want to visit the island with the local transport, it is perfect; the bus terminal is 5 minutes walk away, the Waterfront is 15 minutes walk away. The staff is very friendly, you can ask when you need something and they can also arrange a cheap taxi from the airport. Only; you practically don't see any member of the staff during your stay. And on Sunday and public holiday, there is absolutely nobody.
The outdoor (no surprise that you only see indoor pictures on the website of booking.com). The apartment is siuated at the rear of an old building, that needs to be refreshed. To go to your apartment, you have to walk through a small path where a Chinese lady sells some food, and you need four keys: one for the outdoor gate, another for a second gate, a third to access the apartment and a fourth to close your sleeping room. And if is it already dark when you come back, is tis not easy to find the switch if you are not used to it. Also: there no reception, only a lady waiting for you to give you the keys (if you mention your arrival time). The sleeping room has no window, so I did'know if it was sunny or dark outside.
Location is perfect as it places you in the middle of the China Town from where you can easily explore. The accommodation is very modernly equipped (don't be fooled by the surroundings/entry) and the host is very easy to get in touch and arrange plans.
There's nothing that we didn't like. The area is not for everyone so you do have to know where you're arriving as it's very specific and not your "urban" type of a place. The newer area with restaurants etc is also very close though.
only hot water when the sun shines.
Clean, size and furnishings of appartment. We felt safe and had privacy. The owner was attentive.
The entrance to the appartment by the narrow aisle through china's bistro
Spacious room, nice and clean, conveniently located. Would stay again.
clean, great location , excellent staff
The location was in the heart of Port Louis, and quite easily accessible to all places. It is in a slightly unnoticeable alleyway so upon first arrival one would need to keep eyes peeled. The room was spacious with all amenities provided, and it was quite a comfortable stay. Warren, the host, remained contactable throughout and was very flexible in making arrangements for check-in and out.
Beautiful, super clean and well equipped apartement in Port Luis China Town with a balcony. Perfect place to explore the city. Special thanks to Elodie, who gave us a quick tour of the city. ♥️
Everything was perfect. You will miss a great experience if you cannot cope with some traffic and noise - Port Luis is a busy city. 😉
Very responsive owner/manager of the apartment.
Hospitality was excellent
Proximity
This place was nothing fancy, but perfectly met my own need. There is no view, but the wifi and ac worked, the water was hot, the electricity was always on and the kitchen was well-equipped. The owner, Warren,, and Elodie, on site, were knowledgeable, helpful and always quickly responsive.
There was no comfortable chair to sit in and the bedside lights were not bright enough to read by.
Hassle-free checkin as the owner waited for us himself, prearranged with easy WhatsApp communication. Location central in Chinatown and Port Louis, as it is difficult to find another better hotel in the city centre. Everything is new, though located in a vintage building. Minutes away from restaurants, groceries and 15min walk to waterfront mall via the main business area. Owner, his helper and even neighbours are all friendly, helpful and attentive!
The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot. The apartment is spacious and well organized, and the bed is very comfortable. There is a kitchen with all the amenities and a washing machine, which makes life much easier. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The host, Warren, especially went out of his way to help me explore Chinatown, for which I am very thankful. All in all, an ideal place to stay.
Can't think of anything.
