Bart V. Couples Belgium, October 15, 2012
never had wors

awful place

We booked a room with kitchen and jacuzzi. When we arrived there was a horrible smelling room with jaccuzi but without kitchen. The lady told us there were no rooms with kitchen at Herons. After negotiations we got a room without jacuzzi and we were allowd to use the kitchen at the lounge area, next to the room. When we opened the fridge there was some food in there that was moldy. The moment we opened the oven we new where the smel in the kitchen came from. There was a dish in the oven filled with mold. It was food that was in there for several weeks. The same we found in the pots. For those who don't believe this, we have some pictures that we like to send. The wifi that was for free was most of the time not working. We spend a lot of money and payed in advanced for the 3 nights for a room that we didn't got and an awful kitchen to prepare your food.

The hotel is well kept and clean, breakfast even though not equivalent to a four star hotel the staff are very polite and helpful.
Hotel Feature Tip: The hotel is slightly far from the Airport, but prior arrangement with the hotel can safe you the costly taxi cost. The major shopping malls are not very far from the hotel but again all malls close by 6pm.
