ample space excellent service early noise missing notification
Our one-bedroom apartment offered ample space. I was happy the kitchen had all the necessary equipment. The location was perfect with many shops nearby. The staff at reception provided excellent service.
One morning, there was furniture being dragged along the floors for hours starting very early! This made it hard to relax in the room. Water and electricity were unexpectedly shut off, and there was no prior notification. It would have been nice to get a heads up from the hotel about this.

a mixed bag, really.

poor soundproofing limited breakfast
My stay wasn't all smooth sailing. i found the soundproofing to be quite poor. I could clearly hear conversations and noise from neighboring rooms. also, the breakfast lacked variety, and i noticed many items tasted like they came straight from a can or were of low quality. there were hardly any lunch options beyond basic sandwiches. and no dinners are served.

Great Family Trip

clean apartment equipped kitchen friendly staff
The apartment was quite spacious and clean, a major plus. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen with the microwave and coffee machine. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist us with any questions or requests. The shopping centre nearby was very convenient. I could easily grab groceries and other necessities.
The noise from other rooms was quite loud at times. I could hear chairs moving around, especially during the day and night. This made it difficult to sleep without earplugs.
