Embassy Gardens

(Translated by Google) The 25-metre acrylic swimming pool between the condominiums or the fancy American Embassy doesn't matter individually. It is just a wonderful complex with various facilities and landscaping. (Original) 25 . .

Living here, my contract is up for renewal and landlord is looking to put the rent up by a whopping 25 percent. Id consider it if building management was good but its not! However you see the building will be how it will be, don't expect them to fix things if they get broken, not in any reasonable time scale anyway. Here are a few examples: Ambassador pool shower and steam room have been out of order for 4 months Shutter between Ambassador indoor pool and outdoor tub has been broken for 4 months Several Ambassador changing room lockers have been broken for as long as I can remember Usually no drinking water at the Ambassador gym facilities as its ran out and no one has refilled it A glass barrier panel in the Ambassador gym facilities has been broken for several months Screening Room's (Cinema) light switch panel doesn't work anymore so instead of fixing panel, they just switched the lights off Beckett lounge has seen better days and been like this since I moved in Legacy Building business lounge has been very cold to work in during the winter to the point where you will shiver. Its been like this for months Automatic door to my building has broken down countless times. They take a couple of weeks to fix it each time, but it always ends up breaking again Carpets in the corridors are dirty with stains, cleaned once every 6 months if you are lucky and the stains don't always come out when they do clean them. Not sure who thought it was a good idea to put light grey carpet and many residents are just careless about keeping them clean. Think bin juice, muddy shoes and untrained dogs. In the summer, its often noisy until the early hours in the morning as residents have parties in their balconies. Good luck telling them to be quiet and no solution from building management. Lastly, you have balconies with gaps in the flooring so if your neighbour doesn't care you will end up with cigarette butts, broken glass or even dog pee on your balcony furniture. Known instances of burnt furniture. Reported all of the above and no resolution at time of writing. Oh yes, the sky pool is cool but note that most of the reviews here are from visitors and don't actually live here! Considering the cost and mediocre maintenance I suggest newer developments close by.

I've lived here now for over a year. In short: the service charge is through the roof with no clear justification and numbers that make absolutely no sense, the facilities team is uncooperative and unresponsive - if any issue arises on Friday - you're going to be ignored until Tuesday. During the coldest weekend of the year my heating wasn't working - same story, had to wait for Monday for the aftercare to send somebody, since the temperature in the apartment dropping to 16*C is not considered emergency. Having family over I have to pay for them to use the gym (even I pay for it with the service charge). This is also the first development I lived in where not only do I have to check in to use the fitness centre - it's also not open 24/7. The concierge most of the time shrugs their shoulders and pins issues on other departments. Greatest example would be a recent Hyperoptic outage where the company couldn't get hold of them to access their equipment. It took me talking to Hyperoptic's support, figuring out what they needed, and going to concierge to tell them to pick up the phone. Every single issue is ignored, and then the costs of fixing it is pushed onto us, even if it's an issue with things chosen and implemented solutions by Ballymore (my apartment block is just over a year old so all the apartments are still under warranty, yet everything is breaking constantly). Worst development I've lived in in my life. Absolutely not worth the money. Do not buy.
