Check in automated, but the key box was broken and it took me 30 on the phone with IT to get the keys. When I entered the apartment a water leak in the city had destroyed a chunk of the ceiling and there was a mess of drywall and dirty water on the floor. The firm tried to relocate me an hour away before promising to clean up and repair the problem while I was out, but maintenance never arrived. We had to book a hotel nearby. These people are incompetent

10/10 Exceptional! (13 reviews)
The cottage is quaint and old, it is showing its age. The beds were ever comfortable. The entertainment option was not a TV but a projector with a shoddy speaker. The spiral staircase to the upper level was treacherous to come down and several of the vertical supports were look making the decent and ascent scary. The pond side location was very nice and the little patio was special apart from the chainsaws from the unfortunately scheduled tree cutting by neighbors.

Excellent value — a very thoughtfully decorated and well-maintained apartment, effective air conditioning, blackout curtains in every room — really helped the vacation to feel like a “treat”! I did feel their app / web portal had “quite a lot” baked in it which could feel intimidating at first — vs. a “easy button” version at the top for simple functions like lock/unlock door — but would absolutely consider other Hyatus properties in the future!
