Lurich Residences

Everything good, close to the airport

Good.

Nice experience for the month passed in the Lurich Residences, we would like to make a suggestion to add a blackout curtain aswell in the bedroom and also implementing a cleaning procedures like in the hotels with the no disturb sign. I am saying this because, there is the possibility that in the residence there are not always people working in the offices but also people working with variable shifts and coming back in the night and wake up by the cleaning team in the morning, is not the best sensation.

As seems to be the case every time here, the access code I was provided by email did not work and I had to spend about 10 minutes standing outside calling the support line to gain access to the property. This is despite my having gone through the online check-in well in advance. It also turned out that the property had changed the room in my booking. I also found out about this while on the phone to the hotline. Then I got an email about it at 3 am, when I was already in the room.

I chose the site from a map because it is close to T1 Venue where I was participating in a meetup. However, the route between T1 and Lurich had lots of roadworks and it was not clear how to walk between them. This is right next to the airport so there was quite a bit of noise from the planes. Ülemiste seems to be a business district that has nothing going on in evenings or weekends, so to get breakfast on Saturday morning I had to travel downtown. The room was clean and modern, with a few odd details: nowhere to hang a hand towel in the toilet, a difficult-to-use coffee machine with an instruction sheet for a different model, and a smart TV with two remotes and no instructions (and the menus were in French). The room had its own Wifi network with a really long password, which was a bother to type in as the font did not make it clear whether one of the characters was the letter O or the digit 0. Why not use a QR code for the wifi? It was a surprise that housekeeping only comes by every other day, so you can't get fresh towels every day.

Really good flat, really well kitted out. Only improvement would be if there could be an iron and ironing board. Helpful for business travellers!
