GBTerrible experience. My apartment was not *at all*as it had been described. It was dark and up against a (loud) construction site, and because of that I could never put the shades up. I was concerned, as a woman traveling alone, that the apartment was not safe as there was easy access to the balcony in an empty alleyway next to the construction site. But that wasn't the worst of it. The worst part was that there was a raging all-night party in the apartment upstairs and there was NO SECURITY in the building. Even after I called the office, the party raged on until 4am!!!! I decided to check out the next day because I did not want a repeat of the night before. I explained exactly why I was checking out. Ginosi assured me they would get back to me right away, but after 5 days and a few phone calls I still had not had the decency of any response. Finally I called today and their response to this incident was to offer 10% off my next stay. Seriously? That is not the best Ginosi can do. This company clearly does not care about their guests or their experience.

CAWorst experience, bad ethics, do not book with this company! This company is not honest at all. I booked an appartment and had a really poor experience (see bellow). I posted a review and they will not publish it. Furthermore, you clearly see that the only google reviews are from the company itself. Here's the review I posted on their website: Next to the location, I have nothing positive to say about this company. 1. The checkin did not work. We were there before 6pm (which is still check-in time) but had to walk three blocks to get the key out of a key box. The code was not provided in advance so I had to call them. If you don't have a local cell phone that will be an expensive call! 2. We booked an appartment for three as I was travelling with two other friends. The appartment is listed for four people. But it only has one queen size bed. I slept on the couch. The sheets were not there and I had to look for them even if I paid the extra fee for the 4-people-appartment. There were also only 2 towels. 3. On booking.com it's listed as a cheap deal but there are lots of hidden costs. Everytime they charge you an extra of USD 120.- cleaning fees. In my point of view, it's a clear rip-off tactic they use and booking should ban them or not allow it. It's not listed transparently enough! 4. It was not very clean at all. Lots of crumbs on the couch and dust everywhere. The USD 120.- seem to be taken and just party invested in poor cleaning service.

GBIf I could give a negative star I… If I could give a negative star I would! My room was absolutely disgusting! There were stains on the carpet the smell of weed or cigarettes I could barely sleep! The picture of the room was completely false advertisement it looked nothing like what my confirmation had shown. To top it all off I went to return the key and there was nobody at the building all doors were locked I waited 20 minutes with my Uber and almost missed my flight the customer care representative on the phone told me to leave the key ag the door which I followed her instructions I later got charged $200 for a key deposit!!! Complete scam!! I will never book with them and do not recommend them to my worst enemy.

GBVery bad handling of the covid… Very bad handling of the covid situation. They were still accepting guests while only essential travel was allowed. And no sympathy for people who couldn't even get into the country of their booking due to flight cancellations. Would never book again.

GB“BLOOD FROM 2 DAY OLD CRIME SCENE OUTSIDE DOOR AND THEY REFUSED TO MOVE ME” I stayed in the Hollywood Apartel from December 11th to December 14th. Upon check in, I was told a crime scene investigation would be taking place outside of my apartment door because of an incident two days prior. I asked if it was a murder and they refused to give me information. I was told there was blood on the floor outside the apartment and police still at the scene. I insisted to be moved to another unit and was told that would not be possible. When I attempted to reach reservations, the line was disconnected twice from Dmitri(?) hanging up and Nazan refusing to speak to me. After 40 minutes, I was only offered another apartment after a "last minute cancellation." I asked every team member I spoke with if they would live in this unit and they all said no. I am disappointed in the lack of concern for your guests comfort. Being that the incident happened two days ago, I should have been communicated well in advance so I could make plans accordingly.
