"Basic hotel conveniently located to city center. Spacious room with very very basic toiletries (only liquid soap)."
"Very nice staff and spacious room"
"I wish I could give this Aparthotel a five star review, but unfortunately the power wasn’t working on the last day and the shower drain was clogged and the water would often overflow. It’s a shame because the location is great, the apartment is cute, and the view from the 5th floor is pretty amazing. But unfortunately these issues ruined the experience a little bit."
