the apartment was fully equipped, i noticed a full-size hairdryer suitable for styling. the bathroom was also lovely with everything i needed. the staff were helpful when i had questions.

the room seemed a bit smaller than expected, so it was hard to move around. the reception is often vacant and there is no way to call.

Charmed by my stay

quality furnishing good lighting helpful staff atmospheric building

The room had quality furnishings. I found multiple mirrors and good lighting throughout the space. A full-size hairdryer suitable for all hair types was available.. The bathroom featured nice amenities. I also appreciated the super clean condition of the apartment. The location is near a shopping mall. It had a very wide space perfect. I could easily walk to the town centre. The management arranged guided tours. They also provided private transportation at good prices. Staff were always helpful with my questions. Check-in instructions were clear too. The building is very atmospheric and clean. There are two coffee places. These are located within the building. They include Starbucks and Lajkonik cafe.

It created noise that disrupted my sleep.

Location

The building offers quick access to the main square. It also provides an easy walk to many shops and restaurants. A large shopping centre across the street adds extra convenience for any last-minute needs or browsing.

luxury stay in a central location.

spacious apartment tea selection mini toothpaste good temperature

the apartment felt spacious. it featured tea, coffee, and sugar. shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and mini toothpaste were available for us. the shower offered good temperature, and we found the apartment clean upon arrival, a nice surprise, we could drop off our luggage early.

the room seemed smaller than expected. we could barely move around. i found that the reception was often vacant, and there was no way to call or text anyone for assistance. the experience felt less like a hotel stay.

the location is right across from a large mall, convenient for shopping. the restaurant attached to the hotel had great breakfast (especially the pancakes!).

bad sound proofing ruined my sleep. a different room would have been a nice offering, but this wasn't the case.
