a decent stay overall

clean roomperfect apartmentuseful amenitiesworn carpetsuninspiring roommissing light
the apartment was perfect. rooms were spotlessly clean. amenities provided covered all needs. kitchen had everything required (for light meal preparation).
the carpets on the stairs seemed worn. my room looked uninspiring. i expected something more up to date (given the price paid). there was a light switch without a corresponding light over a mirror.

Really good Stay

modern amenitiesquiet nightsperfect shower
The apartment was clean and well kept. I appreciated the modern amenities including a dishwasher and an iron. The shower worked perfectly (great water pressure!), and the quiet nights allowed for restful sleep.
The apartment door needed a firm slam to close properly, a minor inconvenience.

I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment. It had two double beds. I noticed five doors upon entering, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room with a kitchen. The apartment was over 50 square meters. It felt cozy, warm, and clean.
I found that the room felt very worn! It reminded me of a budget motel in terms of decor and equipment. I noticed the photos online were carefully edited. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom!

Excellent Family Stay

convenient locationhelpful staffpoor insulation
The location was convenient, providing easy access to the town center. The two-bedroom and two-bathroom setup proved invaluable for our family, allowing everyone their own space. I also found the staff very friendly and helpful .
The floor and doors generated quite a bit of noise. The sound insulation between rooms was also poor, impacting the overall tranquility.

The apartment featured a well-equipped kitchen including a refrigerator, microwave, hob, and washing machine, very useful for longer stays. I noticed plenty of coffee shops and other amenities conveniently located around the premises.. The reception staff were friendly upon arrival.
