excellent location rainfall shower spacious room open bottle missing refund unresolved issue
the location was excellent. it was close to many attractions. the rainfall shower was enjoyable (i love a good shower!). the room was quite spacious, with plenty of room to move around.
the minibar had an open bottle. i notified reception promptly after check-in, yet it was not addressed. a charge looked on my account later. i contacted them but a refund was not issued.

I stayed in a castle view room. The view was great. The location made it simple to access many key attractions. Breakfast featured fresh ingredients.
The lift was rather small, made transporting luggage slightly difficult.

inconsistent room temperature street noise
My stay had a few hiccups. the room temperature was very inconsistent. It was either too hot or too cold and i couldn't seem to regulate it properly. also, the noise from the street below was quite noticeable, especially late at night. it made it difficult to fall asleep sometimes, especially since i was in a double room.

an okay stay
convenient location comfortable bed well-equipped apartment quiet night artificial smell poor cleanliness
i found the apartment very well equipped. the location was convenient for getting to restaurants. the beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night, even though it was a central location.
The cleanliness was questionable. the corridor had a strong, artificial smell from plug-in air fresheners (i was like it was masking deeper issues). i noticed bags of clean linen sitting in the stairwell for an entire day. It didn't reflect well on the housekeeping standards.
