Great location, unit needs attention

The pros: Being right at the base of Chinatown, and top of the Old Port, and literally steps away from the Palais De Congrès, made the location excellent. Parking at the Palais was extremely easy to access, secure, and reasonably priced for downtown parking ($25/day). Upon entering the unit, it appeared nice and quite modern. The two bedroom unit was extremely spacious, and well furnished, with comfortable beds and a good amount of space in both bedrooms. There was no laundry detergent, and we ran out of coffee pods, but a quick email had both delivered to our unit within the hour. Service was excellent. The cons: My partner and I both questioned what exactly happened in this unit. Every wall was marked and scuffed going from the baseboards to about 4ft up. I was tempted to try and wash the walls myself. A magic eraser and a coat of paint would go a long way. This left me questioning the cleanliness of the unit, and definitely made me look a bit harder than I normally would. The kitchen (specifically the lower cupboard doors and drawers) were absolutely not thoroughly cleaned. The washing machine has not been properly cleaned and gave off a strong mold/mildew scent, and the dryer itself did not work, resulting in having to hang laundry to dry overnight. Overall I would stay here again. It's a wonderful building and super convenient, however I would probably bring some cleaning supplies with me, if only for my own sanity.

I really enjoyed my time at Bakan Palais de congrès. ITS exactly as shown in the photos. Employees were very nice and respectful. There was damage on the floor close to the bathroom but someone came in to check it so it was recent. So they do take action which is nice to see.

Not soundproof at all :(

I booked the apartment because on the website it said SOUNDPROOF but it wasn’t at all. I heard everything from the next room and the hallway. I communicated to find a somubut no one answered and security said “for us it’s soundproof” but very good location in China town

Beautiful space for an affordable rate. We had a wonderful time at Bakan. It was a spacious and stylish place to stay with historical charm. Affordable parking is a bit of a walk however the benefits outweighed this for us. We hope to return!

The unit I stayed was spacious and close to many downtown tourist attractions. However, there is some false advertising here. First there is no 24 hour front desk (I think the receptionist is only there until 5 during the week and nobody is there for the weekend) so you can't store your luggage after the checkout if the receptionist is not working. Also the room is not soundproof as advertised, and we could hear noise through the windows from the streets (I was woken up by people playing music outside). Lastly it seems that the property management doesn't check their message inbox in the Expedia app?
